Lyrics for Val-Hala
The seadogs have all sailed their ships Into the docks of dawn While the sirens sit and comb their hair And twiddle with their thumbs Oh, Thor above the mountain Look down upon your children This is their Heaven Where they're told, to bring their galleons Seek you find your place with me Men of iron, men of steel Only the brave hear the hammers ring In the courts of the queens, in the halls of the kings You can come to Val-hala in your own time Come to Val-hala, seek and you will find Val-hala Come to Val-hala in your own time Come to Val-hala, seek and you will find Val-hala There's long boats in the harbor Which arrive there every hour With the souls of the heroes Whose blood lies on the flowers And this Heaven is the home Of every man who loves his sword And he uses it for freedom To preach the word of Thor Seek you find your place with me Men of iron, men of steel Only the brave hear the hammers ring In the courts of the queens, in the halls of the kings You can come to Val-hala in your own time Come to Val-hala, seek and you will find Val-hala Come to Val-hala in your own time Come to Val-hala, seek and you will find Val-hala Val-hala Val-hala Val-hala
