The Road to Valhalla
Skrewdriver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
where only the chosen are allowed
There is a boy with a dream of Valhalla
a place in the land of the gods
But in the heart where the fire burns forever
Where life goes on for those who fell in battle
The gods will take him the moment he falls in a fight
Raised high his sword
As he cried out Valhalla
His dream had become reality
And tonight he will die
On the road to Valhalla
Chosen to feast with the gods
But in the heart where the fires burn forever
Where life goes on for the mighty young viking
The journey has finally come to an end for the boy
And he has risen as the bravest of them all

Line by Line Meaning
There is a road and it leads to Valhalla
There is a path that leads to the land of the gods
where only the chosen are allowed
Only select individuals are permitted to enter
There is a boy with a dream of Valhalla
A young man aspires to reach the land of the gods
a place in the land of the gods
A destination found in the realm of the deities
But in the heart where the fire burns forever
Deep within the soul where passion never fades
Where life goes on for those who fell in battle
Where the fallen warriors continue to thrive
The gods will take him the moment he falls in a fight
The deities will claim him upon his demise in battle
And he will rise when the sun goes down
He will be reborn at dusk
Raised high his sword
He lifted his weapon
As he cried out Valhalla
While shouting the name of the destination
His dream had become reality
His aspiration had been fulfilled
And tonight he will die
He will meet his end this evening
On the road to Valhalla
While venturing towards the land of the gods
Chosen to feast with the gods
Selected to dine among the deities
The journey has finally come to an end for the boy
The young man's travels have concluded
And he has risen as the bravest of them all
He has emerged as the most courageous warrior
