Asgard
Adorned Brood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Magic is in the air. As many miracles,
as many gods there in this land.
- Asgard, land of the gods -
I saw the path to him, there's no turning back.
My entrance in this world was beautiful.

[Ref.1]
Walhalla the holy land.

Hall of the proud warriors.
Place of Wotan's throne.
Am I good enough?
Ruled by the one-eyed, old man.

Murderers and scum will go to hel.
A woman who rules her reich by herself.
As the loneliest majesty.
Her face, half woman half beast.

[Ref.2]
Helheim the unholy land.

A hall of pain.
Far away from light.
No turning back.
Where ever lasting darkness rules.

[Ref.3]
Asgard, the land of the gods.

Hall of the proud warrior.
Place of Wotan's home
Am I good enough?
Ruled by the one-eyed old man.

My power becomes bigger and bigger.
Magic lives in me.
- Forever and ever -
Don't you ever forget what's been told,




or die...
- Die by my hand -

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Adorned Brood's song "Asgard" describe a world where magic is present and gods are plentiful. Asgard, the land of the gods, is portrayed as a holy land inhabited by the proud warriors of Walhalla. The singer of the song has seen the path to Asgard and is now unable to turn back. The entrance into this world was beautiful, implying that it is a place of wonder and awe.


The chorus is split into two parts, one describing the holy land of Walhalla and the other the unholy land of Helheim. Walhalla is a place of pride and power, ruled by Wotan, the one-eyed old man. Only the worthy may enter the hall of the proud warriors. Helheim, on the other hand, is a place of pain and darkness, ruled by a monster queen. The contrast between the two lands highlights the duality of the world the singer has entered.


The final verse shows the rise of the singer's power within this world. Magic lives within them and their strength grows. The song ends with a warning not to forget what has been told, or suffer death by the singer's hand. The lyrics describe a vivid world of magic, gods, and power, and the struggle for dominance between light and darkness.

15 years without listening to this piece of music, I had forgotten its existence. Again I surrender to its nostalgic and sweet melody.

One of the most criminally underrated albums of all time. Ahead of it's time, every instrument is interesting, and the song writing is top notch. It blows most newer folk metal out of the water.
