King of darkness

revelation

Valhalla calling
Halvdanr svarte

King of darkness
allfather Odin
elevation
Valhalla calling
Halvdan the Black

Proud voices in the air
On horseback king and men
icebound the landscape
their roar lay over the lake

Shadows waking or asleep
shapes gather 'neath the ice
Halvdan's body perishing
then screaming voices cry

Twenty-two winters tell of seasons rich a king of pride

King of vestfold
by death divided
veneration
all men mourning
Halvdan the Black

Loud voice coming near
their face scared and tense
ice-sheet is broken
they're afraid to cross the lake

Shadows waking or asleep
shape gather 'neath the ice
Halvdan' s body still and white
men's bodies floating lifeless eyes

Forty winters seize the end
