O land where snow will rarely fall,
And yet the wind blows cold.
Here amongst us, warriors all,
We toast to battles old.
For fight we shall at morning light,
Our Coffin and Star to defend.
And so we sing and drink tonight,
Our last as mortal men.
So lift your glass to revels past,
For winter nights are long.
And follow me twixt Valkyrie
To sing this final song,
While the night is young, is young.
Pour out the mead, for gods are we,
Who laugh in the face of war.
Tomorrow we will merry be,
or else will breathe no more.
So lift your glass to revels past,
For winter nights are long.
And follow me twixt Valkyrie
To sing this final song,
While the night is young, is young.
Come man, come maid to comp'ny keep,
And share in this winter delight.
For at dawn must tenderness sleep,
As side by side we fight.
So lift your glass to revels past,
For winter nights are long.
And follow me twixt Valkyrie
To sing this final song,
While the night is young, is young.
O brave berserkers share with me
A draught from my own glass.
Think only of fine company
And toast to warriors past.
For fight we shall at morning light,
Each man, each woman, all.
And should our spirits from body take flight,
We will toast in Valhalla's hall.
So lift your glass to revels past,
For winter nights are long.
And follow me twixt Valkyrie
To sing this final song,
While the night is young, is young.
So lift your glass to revels past,
For winter nights are long.
And follow me twixt Valkyrie
To sing this final song,
While the night is young, is young.
While the night, while the night is young.
