Sacred Halls of Uppsala.

The song “Sacred Halls of Uppsala” tells the epic story of Uppsala, the most significant holy site of the Vikings. It describes the worship of the gods Odin, Thor, and Frey, who are honored in a golden temple, as well as the grand sacrificial rituals (Blót), where humans and animals are offered to the gods. Uppsala is not only a religious center but also a place of political power and Norse legends, where the fate of the Vikings is woven through myths, rituals, and ancestral reverence.
"Sacred Halls of Uppsala"
Verse 1:
In the lands of the North, where the heavens bend low,
Stands Uppsala, the heart, where the gods' power flows.
Beneath golden halls, where Thor reigns in might,
And Frey blesses the harvest, in eternal light.
Odin watches the battlefield in dreams,
With wisdom and runes, he reigns supreme.
The warriors and kings bow low in the glow,
In the temple of Uppsala, where the skies bestow.
Chorus:
Sacred halls of Uppsala,
Where the gods can hear our star-born call.
Under the oaks, in the holy grove,
We sing songs of blood and stone.
Odin, Thor, and Frey, hear our plea,
Uppsala, you are the gate to Valhalla!
Verse 2:
Every nine years, a sacrifice so grand,
Men and beasts, their blood stains the land.
The statues glitter in the fire’s light,
Thor raises his hammer in silence and might.
The kings call forth, the Thing takes its stand,
Politics and faith, united by hand.
In the mounds of Uppsala, where ancestors lie,
Death is not the end, just a godly tie.
Chorus:
Sacred halls of Uppsala,
Where the gods can hear our star-born call.
Under the oaks, in the holy grove,
We sing songs of blood and stone.
Odin, Thor, and Frey, hear our plea,
Uppsala, you are the gate to Valhalla!
Bridge:
The spring bubbles forth, the blood flows clear,
An offering to the gods, pure and sincere.
In the shadow of the temple, the raven’s cry,
Odin soars above, his gaze wide and high.
Chorus (repeat):
Sacred halls of Uppsala,
Where the gods can hear our star-born call.
Under the oaks, in the holy grove,
We sing songs of blood and stone.
Odin, Thor, and Frey, hear our plea,
Uppsala, you are the gate to Valhalla!
Outro:
In the whisper of winds, in nights so bright,
Uppsala remains a beacon of might.
Through fire and steel, through the ages' strain,
The call of Uppsala forever shall reign!
