Stormwarrior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Open the brighte golden halle
In Gladsheim where the one-eyed god
Welcomes the fallen ones
Only the bravest of all warriors
Shalle be selected by the valkyries
Glorious halle up highe
Home of the brave, open thy gates
Fearless we'll fighte
Valhalla
Spears tower highe on the roof
Shieldes brighten the walls
A wolfe hangs before the gateway
An eagle hovers above
Eighthundred Einheries will at once
Go from each gate
When the Fenriswolfe hath
To be foughte on the final day
Halfe of the fallen are chosen on fighte
Withe the Aesir at the twilighte of the gods
Valhalla
Glorious halle up highe
Home of the brave, open thy gates
Fearless we'll fighte
Valhalla
Glorious golden halle up highe
Halle of the brave, open thy gates
We fear not to die

Valhalla
The lyrics of Stormwarrior’s song “Valhalla” describe the legendary Norse afterlife where fallen warriors go to live their afterlife. The song talks about Valhalla as a glorious hall, located in Gladsheim, where the valkyries select only the bravest warriors. Five hundred gates and forty eke open to welcome the ones who died during battle. The one-eyed god, Odin, is the one who receives these warriors with open arms in Valhalla. Spears tower high on the roof, and shields brighten the walls while a wolf hangs before the gateway, and an eagle hovers above.
The song talks about how on the final day when the Fenriswolfe needs to be fought. Half of the fallen will be chosen to fight with the Aesir at the twilight of the gods. In Valhalla, warriors are not afraid to die, and they will fight with bravery and without fear. There will be a final fight on the day of Ragnarok that will involve all the gods and mythical creatures. The song's message is to encourage people to live bravely and without fear, just like the warriors who go to Valhalla.
