Raven
Sleipnir & Raven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In Asgård's golden hall
A company awaits
They'll answer Oden's call
To march towards their fates
Warchiefs one and all
The bravest of the brave
Champions of old
The heroes of our age
Loke's bane will summon us
When Jotun's army marches close
From Himningbjörg he lifts the horn
And on it's call we rise
We follow Oden's mighty spear
When all the world is blind with fear
To the battlefield at Vigrid's plain
Where all of us wait to be slain
None of us will see the dawn
When Balder once again is born
Our sacrifice will lead the way
For mankind to return one day
Valkyries brought us home
To Valfar's mighty hall
Where we fight side by side
Before the world will fall
Through open doors we'll march
To the end of what has been
And stand against the charge
Of Jörmundgandr's kin
For aeons we've been waiting for
The clarion to sound our doom
The sign that Freyr's slayers are
Emerging from the gloom
We follow Oden's mighty spear
When all the world is blind with fear
To the battlefield at Vigrid's plain
Where all of us wait to be slain
None of us will see the dawn
When Balder once again is born
Our sacrifice will lead the way
For mankind to return one day
We follow Oden's mighty spear
When all the world is blind with fear
To the battlefield at Vigrid's plain
Where all of us wait to be slain
None of us will see the dawn
When Balder once again is born
Our sacrifice will lead the way
For mankind to return one day
The blackened sun sinks in the sea
When fires plague the mighty tree
Midgård's final hour is nigh
And ashes fill the dying sky
When Fjorgyn's son takes his last strides
On stormy waves the Helship rides




And one last cry from the ravens call
Before the silence conquers all

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Raven" by Sleipnir & Raven express the rebirth of the singer who has been trapped in a cage for two years. The singer's heart is as black as the ink in his veins, expressing the deep pain and sorrow he has experienced. He is now released into a world of suffering and pain. He sees himself as the Raven of the night, Lord of the dawn, and the murder given flight. Despite the pride of his rise, it has been erased by the fall. He is part of the family of many and the ruler of none.


He used to be the lord of all he can see with Odin's eye in the sky focused on him, but now he is just a Raven with no crown. He plans his escape while being held from the world. The Raven stands proud even in the rain. He claims to be reborn in this world and deserves to be called out his name. Towards the end of the song, he expresses his freedom from the bonds of chains and screams inside. He acknowledges the bond and honor of his family that was stolen away. Despite the attempts to kill the thought of him, he has become stronger, and the Raven is free.


Line by Line Meaning

My heart is as black
My heart is filled with darkness


As the ink in my veins
Like the ink that flows in my veins, symbolizing my passion for music and writing


The words in my songs
My songs are filled with deep meaning


The notes that I play
My music touches the soul


Spent two years
I was incarcerated for a long time


Trapped in a cage
Locked up and isolated from the world


Released to a world
Set free to face a bleak reality


A world
A place tarnished with sadness and agony


Of sorrow and pain
Filled with nothing but misery and suffering


The family of many
I have many admirers, but no true family


The ruler of none
I have no power to control my fate


Pride of my rise
Once, I was proud of my success


Erased by the fall
But my downfall destroyed my pride


Mama I am
I am the protector of those who look up to me


The Raven
I am like a raven, free to roam the night sky


Raven of the night
I am a creature of the darkness


(Raven of the night)
I am the symbol of death and rebirth


Lord of the dawn
I am the master of the morning


A murder
I am a flock of ravens


Murder given flight
My spirit soars with my flock


(Murder given flight)
I am free from the binds that held me captive


In this world
I am back to regain what was lost


I am reborn
I am born anew, with greater strength and determination


Call out my name
Let it be known that I have returned


Once was the lord
There was a time when I had power and influence


Of all I can see
I was able to control my destiny


Odin's eye in the sky
I had the power of a god when I was at the peak of my influence


The focus was me
At the time, I was the center of attention


Held from the world
But then I was pulled away from the world


Planning my escape
I spent my time strategizing and planning my way out


Peer into my mind
Look into my soul to see what I am truly capable of


See the unseen
Discover hidden talents and potential


Melodies of life
My music has the power to bring life to all who listen


Without a crown
I am no longer a king


(Without a crown)
I am now one of many


Out in the rain
But I still stand proud


Father I am
I am a protector of all who depend on me


Brothers in blood
I stand with those closest to me


And bond and honor
Our bond is unbreakable, and our word is our honor


Turning a page
I am leaving my past behind


Now even stronger
I have become stronger from my past struggles


Tried to kill
My enemies have tried to destroy me


The very thought of me
They wanted me erased from their memory


Fucked it all
But now, I have come back to prove them wrong


Cause the Raven's free
I am free to thrive, like a raven in the sky


Brother I am
I am a brother to all who stand with me


Raven of the night
I am a symbol of the night


Raven of the night
I am a free spirit, unbound by chains


Raven of the night
I am a creature of the darkness and a bringer of light


Raven of the night
I am a survivor and a fighter, ready to rise again and again

Heil’lo 🙋🏼!!‘ …aber psstt 🤫 !!! Nicht weitersagen. Ist der römische Gruß. Nät junsers! Aber Heil; unseren germanischen Göttern.
Brutale Welt! Richtig Wichtig.
Was wählst Du? Ragnar (Rög) oder WVahllah? Es liegt in uns. Machen wir es besser?!?!

@yazi7713

Mit allen Völkern!!!

@heimdalfuerstenblut9123

Ein wirklich sehr gutes Meisterstück ! Selbst nach so langer Zeit werden die Lieder trotzdem noch besser und es ist eine fortwährende Weiterentwicklung im Gange. Die Druidenausbildung geht nicht nur 10, 20 oder 30 Jahre, oder ein oder 2 Leben, sondern sie geht mehrere Leben fortwährend ewiglich. Die lange Zeit ist auch nötig um Wissen, Erfahrung und Weißheit zu sammeln, um dieses Gut in Texte und Lieder und Skaldenkunst einbringen zu können. Schön das hier noch die jahrtausende alte Tradition gewahrt wird. Heil Euch.
