Sleipnir Songtext
von Manowar

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
Into the Hall of Heroes shall be led
Ride down from Asgard

To the battlefield
Bringer of the Valiant Dead
Who died but never yeilded
Carry we who die in battle

Over land and sea
Across the rainbow bridge
To Valhalla
Odin's waiting for me
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
Ride down from Asgard


To the battlefield
Bringer of the Valiant Dead
Who died but never yielded
Carry we who die in battle

Over land and sea
Across the rainbow bridge
To Valhalla
Odin′s waiting for me

Carry we who die in battle

Over land and sea
Across the rainbow bridge
To Valhalla
Odin's waiting for me
Carry we who die in battle

Over land and sea
Across the rainbow bridge
To Valhalla
Odin's waiting
Carry we who die in battle

Over land and sea
Across the rainbow bridge
To Valhalla
Odin′s waiting
Carry we who die in battle
Over land and sea
Across the rainbow bridge
To Valhalla
Odin′s waiting for me
Carry we who die in battle
Over land and sea
Across the rainbow bridge
To Valhalla
Odin's waiting for me
