In the house of Odin the fallen one is standing With all Einherjar, ready for war. When the seal is broken up in the midwinter sky, all the dead will follow Odin and they're coming by the storm in the middle of the world the rock of Gods stand high. On the dark yule-night The gods will descend with the dead of the brave. Take us to Walhalla when we'll pass the gate of Heimdal. Let us meet gods (and) follow their ride. If you watch the nightsky you will find their dwelling in the stars they live (as the) zodiac signs. When the bridge will make a way for all the northern gods all the dead will ride on Bifrost and they're coming by the storm Sagas from the ancient days are written in the sky When you read the runes again Walhalla and Asgard are reborn
