Gleaming swords in the blackest night Lighten up by the misty moonlight In this battle we will die And our souls will ascend so high No chance against the enemy No one can stop his victory I can see a lightning in the sky And I hear the Valkyries cry Valhalla Rock! On shiny wings we do fly Into the marble hall up high Where the gods are the sacred ones And where the golden mead runs But our comrades drop on the field There's no armour, there's no shield They perish man by man So we have to go back again Valkyries ride! Stand up and fight!
