By far the best ballad by Manowar. They finally got the full viking-feeling. I get chills everytime in the end of the song when they extend the refrain with ”place my body on a ship”
The lyrics is absolutely amazing. I wish it can be the Swedish national anthem one day ; ) "I will lead the charge My sword into the wind. Sons of Odin fight To die and live again. Viking ships cross the sea In cold wind and rain. Sail into the black of night Magic stars our guiding light."
I wouldn't call the lyrics amazing. It's just the same lyrics Joey has written the last 30 years or so. It's like he has a vocabulary of 20 words and a randomizer. He used to be able to do so much better. :(
I sing this song to my kid as a lullaby and it's the only thing that seems to have much success in making him sleep song wise. Who would think a baby would consider a song about war, death and murder would make a child sleep? Certainly not me, but it was one of the few songs I know by heart. It's such a good song.
It is much more than just another Manowar song about war, death and bloodshed. It's an anthem everyone should live by. Live free or die with honor and a sword in hand (figuratively and literally speaking). May your faith be your shield and the truth be your sword, and never bend knee to no one. Big Brother's worst nightmare. Their plans aren't working out and the whole tower is crumbling down, it seems. Lucky kid you have! Hail from Bulgaria!
This song is pure music to my ears, one of the best songs ever written and if the church aint lettin me have it on my funeral Ima head back from valhalla with the sons of odin and turn it on❤️❤️
I surrender my soul Odin hear my call One day I'll sit beside your throne In Valhalla's great hall Like so many before me I'll die with honor and pride The right of the warrior Forever to fight by your side Send a sign, raise the sail Wave a last goodbye Destiny is calling Immortality be mine Call the witch to cast the runes Weave a magic spell We who die in battle are born Not for heaven, not for hell [Bridge:] We are sons of Odin The fire we burn inside Is the legacy of warrior kings Who reign above in the sky [Chorus:] I will lead the charge My sword into the wind Sons of Odin fight To die and live again Viking ships cross the sea In cold wind and rain Sail into the black of night Magic stars our guiding light Today the blood of battle Upon my weapons will never dry Many I'll send into the ground Laughing as they die [Repeat bridge, chorus] Place my body on a ship And burn it on the sea Let my spirit rise Valkiries carry me Take me to Valhalla Where my brothers wait for me Fires burn into the sky My spirit will never die
I saw manowar before quarantine started, I think was the last live concert they did! it was amazing and they were awesome! I still remember it and smile! especially this song!
Let my spirit rise Valkyries, carry me. Take me to Valhalla Where my brothers wait for me. Fire burning to the sky My spirit will never die. EPICNESS LEVEL OVER 9000
Every time im sad, broken and hopeless i will listen to this song trying to pick myself up 1 more time and get ready to take on the world. Hail from a Greek!
Keith Darby a Norse funeral is a marriage of dissimilars. Water and fire. The sea represents the grave. The spirit rises on holy fire from the mouth of Helheim. Light and dark. The fire rises into a night sky, the bright soul of the warrior confronts the darkness of death. It’s beautiful.
A long time ago I just had enough of all-day-every-day Manowar. Until today. I remember my love for Manowar and cried like a fuckin' baby on this song. Still, remember the lyrics and melody as it was yesterday...
In high school I was the A/V guy for the morning news, and I once played this song over the credits, so the whole entire school heard it. That was a glorious day...
I just realized that in the song "Sons of Odins" which will appear in their next album Gods of War the lyrics say "let the battle begin, with SWORDS IN THE WIND, hail Gods of war". Both songs refers each other!
In my horrible opinion, it's their best ballad. More then popular master of the Wind, or even then epic Hearth of steel. It's more honest, maybe, becouse we're not winner at all in our life. But when I got my lose, now i'll be ready for this.
Unfortunately the Viking funeral with the burning ship is a Hollywood myth. What would usually happen is that great warriors were buried with their ship, not sent on a lake and burned. Their slaves were usually slaughtered and buried with then so that they can serve the warrior in the afterlife
I surrender my soul Odin hear my call One day I'll sit beside your throne In Valhalla's great hall. Like so many before me I'll die with honour and pride. The right of a warrior Forever to fight by your side. - Send a sign, raise the sail Wave a last goodbye. Destiny is calling Immortality be mine. - Call the witch to cast the runes Weave a magic spell. We who die in battle are borne Not for Heaven, not for Hell. - We are sons of Odin The fire we burn inside Is the legacy of warrior kings Who reign above in the sky. - I will lead the charge My sword into the wind. Sons of Odin fight To die and live again. Viking ships cross the sea In cold wind and rain. Sail into the black of night Magic stars our guiding light. - Today the blood of battle Upon my weapons will never dry. Many I'll send into the ground Laughing as they die. - We are sons of Odin The fire we burn inside Is the legacy of warrior kings Who reign above in the sky. - I will lead the charge My sword into the wind.

Viking ships cross the sea In cold wind and rain. Sail into the black of night Magic stars our guiding light.
Why use the SOTH cover when this is NOT on this album? ERIC WILL ALWAYS BE THE MOST SOULFUL METAL SINGER ALIVE! Somehow I think RossThe Boss could have ripped a better solo than Carl did here...
That was the one line that did it for me. I was raised as a Christian, but this Viking/Norse themed music has been RESONATING in my soul lately. Just heard this song today for the first time and the emotion kept building and building. Then as soon as he belted that line, I burst into an ocean of tears. Definitely starting to think I was destined for Valhalla rather than heaven...
@@frankjuggaloheathen1035 if we should 1 day meet in Odins Hall though we won't remember each other i hope we share drink food and story's of our lifes on midgard together i use to be Christian too but I'm only 17 and It was years ago so my heart was not in it I just felt believing in that was better than nothing but once I hear this music I learned about the gods I looked up about the vikingr and there ways and fell in love with it if you like this music please for Odins sake go listen to brothers of metal there a separate band and there lead singer ylva has the voice of a Valkyrie
@@johnduff1831 I have listened to BoM. And yes, Ylva Eriksson has a voice that could literally sing me to Valhalla. Their song Yggdrasil also had me an emotional mess; so beautiful! If we should meet in that great hall of Odin, may we partake in endless beer and bountiful feast with our brothers for all eternity. SKÅL 🍻✊🗡⚔
Dude, first you should learn some european history before talking bullshit. All those people from the north are germans, the tribe is called Germans and I'm not talking only about people from Germany like it is today. Countrys with germans are all scandinavians + germany, netherlands, austria, switzerland, the Flemish people and some others... Norse people are no germans, pfffff good joke
***** heavy sigh, yes you are right there German ancestors but did they live in Germany? i'm not saying now a day Germany which it is. Angelo Saxon, Scandinavian.i can not find anything remotely saying Germans were Norse but i would love for you to correct me :) German ancestors were Norse if you want to get technical. my ancestors are from Britain and my family has been american for a long time . that dosnt make me English im still american not to be confused with native american (Mexicans and Indians) so because i have some small bits of there blood does that make me a part of the Mexican British or Indian heritage? again im just confused
damn German's do yall ever stay home. goes to show the information you can find so easy but only with slightly different prospective. but seriously Germany please dont try to take over the world again anytime soon
Yeah about that certain elder - it was replaced by a usurper which did not act like the elder should which can be considered as the right one being dead!
I demand and want a viking funeral some day! Truly believe that is the best way to get out of this world! İn flames in a viking ship at a setting sun! A Sun Voyager...
Why you may concider that a diversion you must understand that in that war the enemy was too powerfull at one point in time, killing everybody directly opposing him and seeing his actions a certain how to call it insurance individual was needed!
You see in a state of war it is beneficial for me the enemy to concider me more stupid that I am! Like they say - I want him to know, what I want him to know is better then knowing the truth!
My friend Alan Is passed away 1 march...was 34 year old....i dedicate this song....rest in pease my Brother...
I'm so sorry for your lost. My condolences
You will meet him again!
"Take me to Valhalla where my brothers wait for me"

@Sentinel Scourge yes you stupid elitist
Bullshit! Not one of the best! The Best! No, the ONLY!!!

You was a metal kid, hail from Brazil.

Manowar's lyrics aren't only about vikings and stuff, if you're going through the hard part of life it is much more than that ❤
Beautiful song

Will you attend their last tour?

This should be played by our Navy over the ocean at full blast!
This song is not from the "Sign of the hammer" album. Can someone tell me on which album it is?

Great song , Manowar are the Odin of metal
Esta canción me hace llorar :') muy emotiva es
Si perro, a mi me hace orinarme en el sofá-
Man i keep forgetting this song and everytime it comes up im rocking my ass off lol
Who else wants a Viking funeral when they die?
Unfortunately the Viking funeral with the burning ship is a Hollywood myth. What would usually happen is that great warriors were buried with their ship, not sent on a lake and burned. Their slaves were usually slaughtered and buried with then so that they can serve the warrior in the afterlife
Vinyl Scratch
Way to ruin a dream bro, it's ruined now. Or maybe on a pyre, that could work.
It was for important persons. Else where burnt.
