Manowar

In the hall of the slain
Valkyries and heroes attend me
Ravens and wolves at my side
Forever they did befriend me
I paid an eye for a drink of mead
And was given wisdom supreme
Granted to me the secrets
Of magic, of life and death
Aaah.. speared hung upside down
Nine days and nights no food nor mead
The will to be a sacrifice
Of myself unto myself
Wisdom and rhyme
Sorcery, death living inside me
Of life and death I am king
For both do i bring by sword and spear and ring
