FAR AWAY
SIG:AR:TYR Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me take you far away
Where the ravens fly
And the valkyries cry

Let me take you far away
Where the gold halls gleam
and Allfather dreams
Far Away... Far Away...

Let me take you far away
Where the high-ones meet
At the One-eye's seat

Let me take you far away
Where Baldur sleeps
And all creation weeps

Far Away... Far Away...

Let me take you far away
To the mountains high
That reach the sky

Let me take you far away
To the stars that shine
At the end of time





Far Away... Far Away...

Line by Line Meaning

Let me take you far away
Allow me to lead you to a distant, unfamiliar place


Where the ravens fly
Where the birds of Odin soar through the skies


And the valkyries cry
Where the chosen slain are ushered into Valhalla by the weeping warrior maidens


Where the gold halls gleam
Where the magnificent palaces of the gods glitter with precious metals


and Allfather dreams
And Odin, the Allfather, sleeps and dreams of his next adventure


Where the high-ones meet
Where the divine beings convene


At the One-eye's seat
At the place where Odin, the Allfather, presides with his one eye


Where Baldur sleeps
Where the bright and beloved god of light rests


And all creation weeps
And all things mourn the death of Baldur, who was killed by his brother's trickery


To the mountains high
To the towering peaks that reach toward the heavens


That reach the sky
That stretch towards the clouds


To the stars that shine
To the celestial bodies that twinkle in the darkness


At the end of time
At the conclusion of all things
