Valhalla
Heaven Shall Burn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Morgray the dark, enters the throne
Open wide the gate, friend, the king will come
Blow the horn and praise the highest lord
Who'll bring the dawn, he's the new god
In the palace of steel, persuade the fate of everyone
The chaos can begin, let it in
So many centuries, so many gods
We were the prisoners of our own fantasy
But now we are marching against these gods
I'm the wizard, I will change it all
Valhalla, deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me?
Valhalla, deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me?
Valhalla, deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me?
Oh Valhalla!
Valhalla, deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me?
Valhalla, deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me?
Valhalla, deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me?
Oh Valhalla!
Magic is in me
I am the lost magic man
Never found what I was looking for
Now I found it but it's lost
The fortress burns, broken my heart
I leave this world, all gods are gone
So many centuries, so many gods
We were the prisoners of our own fantasy
But then we had nothing, to lead our life
We can't live without our gods, no!
Valhalla, deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me?
Valhalla, deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me?
Valhalla, deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me?
Valhalla!
Valhalla, deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me?
Valhalla, deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me?
Valhalla, deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me?
Valhalla, deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me?
Valhalla, deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me?
Valhalla, deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me?
Oh no!
The lyrics to Valhalla by Heaven Shall Burn are about the longing for deliverance and the search for meaning in a world where the old gods are forgotten. The song is about the need for a new god, someone to bring the dawn and end the chaos that has taken over the world. The opening lines "High in the sky, where eagles fly. Morgray the dark, enters the throne" set the tone for the song, as it references the darkness that has taken over the world and the need for a new ruler to bring light back into it.
The chorus "Valhalla, deliverance, why've you ever forgotten me?" is a plea for deliverance, for something or someone to make the world right again. The lyrics also deal with the idea of magic and being a "lost magic man". The singer of the song is searching for something that he can't find, and when he does find it, it's lost.
The song touches on the idea of being a prisoner of one's own fantasy, and the need to break free from that in order to find meaning in life. The closing lines "Oh no!" add a sense of urgency and desperation to the lyrics, as if the singer is realizing that he may never find what he's looking for.
