Valhalla

[Intro] (eerie synth pads fade in, distant war horn, wind howling for 4 bars) Hmm-mmm Fire in the rising Fire in the storms [Verse 1] (deep, resonant voice, slight distortion, rhythmic like a saga) Calling me home where the old gods stand, Through the storm and the blood-red sand. The sky falls down, the rivers run slow, Hear my name in the winter snow. Hot like steel in the hand when the long ships sail, Cold in the lungs when the night winds wail. Came from the frost where the brave don’t fail, Every scar has a story to tell. [Pre-Chorus] (build-up with crescendo, drums tighten, horn hit every 2 bars) Drums in the dark when the war horns cry, Storm in the chest like the northern sky. If I walk through fire, I don’t ask why — Kings rise once, but the legends never die! [Chorus] (powerful, with scream effect, full orchestra hit — strings, horns, percussion) Cold wind rising, fire in the sky — calling me home, Through the fire and snow, voices of the north in the cold wind blow. Shadows in the night, but the stars still glow, If I fall tonight, let the whole world know! (repeat chorus with heavier drums and choir vocals) [Bridge] (instrumental: horn solo (4 bars), string section (8 bars), then slow drum roll (4 bars)) Oh, warrior heart — never fall apart, Through the storm, we are reborn! [Verse 2] (same tone as Verse 1, but with more intensity, Viking battle rhythms) Run through the storm with a heart that’s cold, Fire in the soul — never doing what I’m told. Raised in the north with the warriors grow, Blood on the shield when the battle horns blow. Look at the face when the rhythm collides, Thundering side when the lightning strikes. Living like bulls in the dead of the night — If you stand in my way, then you better take flight! [Chorus] (repeat with maximum power, add battle cries “HRA!” in the background) Cold wind rising, fire in the sky — calling me home, Through the fire and snow, voices of the north in the cold wind blow. Shadows in the night, but the stars still glow, If I fall tonight, let the whole world know! [Outro] (fade out with synth pads and distant horn, 5 seconds; end with a final heavy drum hit and echoing battle cry)
