Lyrics Sleipnir - Manowar

Sleipnir

He is descended from giants
His father Loki, God of fire
Is the sworn blood brother to Odin himself
He rides across land, sea and air
From the land of the living to the land of the dead
This eight-legged steed crosses eight points of the compass
From eight directions into eight dimensions
He is the bringer of the valiant dead
From the battlefield to Valhalla
Carry we who die in battle
Over land and sea
Across the rainbow bridge to Valhalla
Odin’s waiting for me
He was born of giants
His icy coat is grey
At night he rides into the world of death
The living by day
One day on his back I shall ride
From the battlefield into the sky
Borne by Valkyries, we valiant dead
To the hall of heroes shall be led
Ride down from Asgard
To the battlefield
Bringer of the valiant dead
Who died, but never yielded
Faster than the fastest horse alive
The living son of fire rides
From the halls of Asgard across the sky
To the world of Gods and men
Eight legs and magic runes
Carved upon his teeth
Thunder and lightning
Sound beneath his feet
On his back the war God Odin rides
Sword and magic spear held high
Carry we who die in battle
Over land and sea
Across the rainbow bridge to Valhalla
Odin’s waiting
