Lyrics

Staring out the window
Of an empty dining hall
Through the middle distance of the night
Before me lies a kingdom
Once a battlefield
Where you and I once went to fight

Blood in our eyes
Voices and swords held high

Raise your chalices of ale toward the sky now
One more time for you my friend
There’s a place where you will long reside with honor
In the Hall of Champions

Many came to lay their claim
To these rolling meadows
Lusting for this fertile virgin land
Without remorse or mercy
We spilled their blood in rivers
Fiercest of the fiercest of the clans

As we fought side by side
We knew that we could never die

Raise your chalices of ale toward the heavens
One more time for you my friend
There’s a place where you will long reside with honor
In the Hall of Champions

When the war was over
And victory was won
Who would be the ruler of the land?
The council of the elders
Deliberated fast
You would reign and I would be your hand

And I silently wept
Cutting your throat as you slept

Raise your chalices of ale toward the moonlight
One more time for you my friend
There’s a place where you will long reside with honor
In the Hall of Champions
