Wenn Walküren Reiten

[1.]
Wotan sends his daughters to the battlefield
Chosen to awaken those who fall in battle
Noble warriors, brave, loyal to the steel
Valkyries carry them to Valhalla

[Chorus:]
Horses snort, hooves pound, let's ride to death
Only those who fought honorably will awaken again

[2.]
Courageous in death, determined warriors charge ahead
None will yield to the enemy, even if the leader falls
Time of war is time of honor
Surely of eternal return

[3.]
Swords clash, heroes fall, the ground turns red
Screams echo in the battle thunder, bloodlust reigns at the hour
Death comes swiftly when warriors fight
Death comes when Valkyries ride

[4.]
See there, the fallen hero, the shieldmaiden kneels beside him
Wiping the blood from his forehead, she stays by his side
She kisses him and he opens his eyes, she takes him on the horse
Their ride will now go over Bifröst, to enter Valhalla
Heroic death is the reward of battle
When the warrior awakens from the maiden's kiss
