Heidrun

(album: The Great Heathen Army - 2022)

Here's to a life of roaming around
Where there's a feast we can be found
Travelling far, over sea, over land
For glory and fame and a drink in our hand

There's no dread in our hearts, no remorse in our soul
Pillage the world for silver and gold
It's the path we have chosen, the creed of our kind
Standing together, leave no one behind

Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead
On the roof she's gnawing Lärad's leaves
Fills the vat with a drink that is so sweet
Worthy of fame
Heidrun is her name

This life it is not for everyone
The grind of travel can wear you down
Our grave may be waiting around the bend
But we'll keep fighting to whatever end

And when we are done roaming around
There is a feast where we will be found
To Valhalla! With hearts full of pride
A drink in our hand and a girl on our side

Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead
On the roof she's gnawing Lärad's leaves
Fills the vat to the brim with a drink so sweet
Worthy of fame
Heidrun is her name

Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead
On the roof top gnawing Lärad's leaves
Fills the vat with a drink that's oh so sweet
One and the same
Heidrun is her name

Over the ocean and over land
After all the tours
We have earned our seats in Oden's glorious hall
Here we sit at the feast
A cold drink in our horns
Heidrun's the one that gives the mead to the battle worn

She stands on Valhalla's roof
Filling the vat with the sweetest mead
She is one and the same
Heidrun is her name

Who's the goat? Who's the goat?
Heidrun, Heidrun
Who's the goat? Who's the goat?
Heidrun, Heidrun
Who's the goat? Who's the goat?
Heidrun, Heidrun
Who's the goat? Who's the goat?
Heidrun, Heidrun

Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead
On the roof she's gnawing Lärad's leaves
Fills the vat with a drink that is so sweet
One and the same
Heidrun is her name

Hail the dead and the goat that gives us mead
On the roof top gnawing Lärad's leaves
Fills the vat to the brim with a drink so sweet
Worthy of fame
Heidrun is her name

Heidrun, Heidrun
Heidrun, Heidrun
