LYRICS:
Valhalla Calling Gavin Dunne 2020
Ships on vigor of the waves are skimming
Barren summits to the verdant plains
Each horizon is a new beginning
Rise and reign
Far from the fjords and the ice cold currents
Ravens soar over new frontiers
Songs and sagas of a fate determined
Shields and spears
Vows of favour or the thrill of plunder
Pull together for the clan and kin
Clank of hammers and the crash of thunder
Pound within
Oh-ho-oh
The echoes of eternity
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Oh-ho-oh
To pluck the strings of destiny
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Valhalla calling me
Sails a' swaying on the crimson rivers
Blood and glory in the fighting fields
Shields a' shatter into splintered timbers
Iron and steel
Fires are rising and the bells are ringing
Glory take us into Odin's halls
Golden glimmer and the sound of singing
Asgard's call
Oh-ho-oh
The echoes of eternity
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Oh-ho-oh
To pluck the strings of destiny
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Valhalla calling me
Wind and the waves will carry me
Wind and the waves will set me free
Oh-ho-oh
The echoes of eternity
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Oh-ho-oh
To pluck the strings of destiny
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Valhalla calling me

I know... this song's many various versions are pretty much a meme at this point, lol. I made this version because I was unhappy with my somewhat subdued vocal performance in the first metal version. (If you love the old version you can still hear it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lavao2tmiK2BrtE -the Vikings music video was deleted due to being demonetised) I feel like things are a little more epic and powerful in this new version which suits the song better! I also re-recorded the guitars to be chunkier and heavier. Enjoy :) Level 12 album is out now including this track and many others!

That would be awesome

[@arcanelore3791]

Okay, but can we actually get an old Norse version of this? That would genuinely be so cool.

Old Norse would sound great! Hopefully we will see such a version of this song one day

Ok, I've heard all the renditions and covers of this song and this version is by far the best. Uber masculine in an almost primal way, which is exactly what the lyrics need.

[@digitalon01]

I don't think I'll ever get sick of this song. Definitely feeling the increased metal energy with this rerecord! Skal!

As a dane (Denmark was the cradle of Viking's and our king is in direct bloodline with Harald Bluetooth, Sven forkbeard and Knut the great..famous danish viking kings) with interest in danish, Swedish and Norwegian mythology, this song really is awesome

[@TawmisGreybeard]

Someone reacting to your video (as the trio) is what brought me to your channel. And I am not disappointed. I've listened to several versions of "Valhalla Calling" - and I'd be more than happy to listen to a thousand more. You have a master piece here - and every version excels. Your talent is mind-blowing - both for lyrics, vocals and musical talent. May Odin's ravens carry your voice ever onward - so that the world knows the power you possess.

[@Kaare-The-Heathen]

You are going to Single-handedly awaken the Dane within me.

Each of the songs versions are all better than the game itself

Only 'discovered' this a few days ago ... and boy I adore and can't stop singing/playing. Thank you. Loving your vibe and enthusiasm too, so joyous. Very invigorating too!

tbh, the old one has a certain charm to it that differentiates it to this one.

I fervently hope you continue this style of video in future. It's really fun to watch your favorite artist's jamming out and just having fun with their songs.

You could play this song on a harmonica and it would still sound BADASS. 👍👍👍
