lyrics

In the Hall of the Dead

Fire in your blood, steam in your head
The sound of the horn, the song of the dead
Battle is joined, hurry don’t be late
Anything can be overcome except for fate

Honored ever after in the Hall of the Dead
The brave may live forever in the Hall of the Dead
Die as you lived, laugh as you die
Laughter shakes the rafters in the Hall of the Dead

Sweet battle-sweat, red as your dreams
The din of steel, drowns out the screams
The Sisters Wyrd sit at their loom
Weaving a tapestry of comfort, fame, and doom

Honored ever after in the Hall of the Dead
The brave may live forever in the Hall of the Dead
Die as you lived, laugh as you die
Laughter shakes the rafters in the Hall of the Dead

Through the valley, up the Raven’s Ridge
Let your burning cities light my way across that bridge

The longest night is coming, the final day must wane
Beyond the edge of light fire and chaos reign
In the teeth of fear make your life a song
We’ll sing it in the darkness to keep our courage strong

Honored ever after in the Hall of the Dead
The brave may live forever in the Hall of the Dead
Die as you lived, laugh as you die
Laughter shakes the rafters in the Hall of the Dead
Honored ever after in the Hall of the Dead
The brave may live forever in the Hall of the Dead
Die as you lived, laugh as you die
Laughter shakes the rafters in the Hall of the Dead
