If I'm to fall
Would you be there to applaud
Or would you hide behind them all?
'Cause if I am to go
In my heart you'd grow
And that's where you belong
The age of legends has come to an end
The stories we know, we stand to defend
and we wish to remember the glorious tales
Of giants and gods and heroes
Do you remember the songs about Thor?
The strong thunder god and the hammer he hold?
The brave son of Odin who defended our realm
against Jotunheim us guardens
And if you believe an old world will rise
Gods will stand strong and old songs will be sung
In the halls of Odin
Sad tales about the loss of a son
And joyful songs about wars we have won
Stories of brotherhood and powerful gods
And those of mighty heroes
These are the songs of our past and our pride
A link between ours and the ancient times
A memory of honour, the times we were strong
Which never shall be forgotten
And if you believe an old world will rise
Gods will stand strong and old songs will be sung
In the halls of Odin
We're the defenders of legend and myth
The tales will be sung to the day of our end
And when the times of our last breath has come
We pass through the gates of Heimdal
And if you believe an old world will rise
Gods will stand strong and old songs will be sung
In the halls of Odin
[...]
And if you believe an old world will rise
Gods will stand strong and old songs will be sung
In the halls of Odin!
Un capolavoro di canzone e di video. Ho rivalutato parecchio questo artista negli ultimi tempi. Un coraggio esemplare perché "cantare" certe tematiche in Italia equivale ad un suicidio artistico...
