LYRICS:

Valhalla Calling Gavin Dunne 2020

Ships on vigor of the waves are skimming
Barren summits to the verdant plains
Each horizon is a new beginning
Rise and reign

Far from the fjords and the ice cold currents
Ravens soar over new frontiers
Songs and sagas of a fate determined
Shields and spears

Vows of favour or the thrill of plunder
Pull together for the clan and kin
Clank of hammers and the crash of thunder
Pound within

Oh-ho-oh
The echoes of eternity
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Oh-ho-oh
To pluck the strings of destiny
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Valhalla calling me

Sails a' swaying on the crimson rivers
Blood and glory in the fighting fields
Shields a' shatter into splintered timbers
Iron and steel

Fires are rising and the bells are ringing
Glory take us into Odin's halls
Golden glimmer and the sound of singing
Asgard's call

Oh-ho-oh
The echoes of eternity
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Oh-ho-oh
To pluck the strings of destiny
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Valhalla calling me

Wind and the waves will carry me
Wind and the waves will set me free

Oh-ho-oh
The echoes of eternity
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Oh-ho-oh
To pluck the strings of destiny
Oh-ho-oh
Valhalla calling me
Valhalla calling me

I know... this song's many various versions are pretty much a meme at this point,  lol. I made this version because I was unhappy with my somewhat subdued vocal performance in the first metal version.

I feel like things are a little more epic and powerful in this new version which suits the song better! I also re-recorded the guitars to be chunkier and heavier. Enjoy :) Level 12 album is out now including this track and many others!

[Silverwing]

Bro I'm not even gonna ask how many times you'll release this song, at this point I won't be surprised to see an Old Norse version by next year.

[redeyedphoenix]

All these versions are so different yet so similar at the same time it’s amazing❤

[MattKmit]

After listening to the many co-op versions, original, metal... I can only say: Hail Odin! Hail Thor! You have struck chords in my soul! THANK YOU & may you live as long as you wish!!

[sarahbrand]

This rerecord is fire! A very powerful glow-up. Thank you for every song you give us, Gavin!

[tombkeeper]

This has been the song of the Internet for the past few years.
It's only right that the original writer reminds everyone why it is so great!
Thanks Gav!

[jenniferharris]

Ok, I've heard all the renditions and covers of this song and this version is by far the best. Uber masculine in an almost primal way, which is exactly what the lyrics need.

[digitalon]

I don't think I'll ever get sick of this song. Definitely feeling the increased metal energy with this rerecord! Skal!

[ninasrensen]

Greetings from Denmark🇩🇰 I'm a true Viking, and so glad I found your songs💙See you in Valhalla..🍺

[GraemeFaber-lswp]

No matter how many versions of this song are made, by whatever amount of artists, it will never cease to be epic

[thecommodore]

Gavin thank you for all music it’s much appreciated. Already listening to Level 12

[josephguillerey]

i think i didn't realise how much Valhalla Calling had blown up until i heard it in the speakers of the french protest i went to ^^

[Matheus-gpej]

This isn't a song, it's a masterpiece

[blackmetalbaron]

If I was a viking, and sailing across the Nordic Sea, my crew and I would be blaring this as we sail, wreaking havoc on those who dare oppose us!

[tragnemalm]

Gav:"I'm taking a break from viking songs for a while"
*makes another valhalla calling cover*

Fans: "A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one"

[mortenhyvejle]

As a dane (Denmark was the cradle of Viking's and our king is in direct bloodline with Harald Bluetooth, Sven forkbeard and Knut the great..famous danish viking kings) with interest in danish, Swedish and Norwegian mythology, this song really is awesome

[jonathanbarak]

I am astounded every time you manage to make this song feel more epic and alive. Skal!

[elenashteiwi]

I listen to Valhalla calling me with my eyes closed and it literally takes me to another world ❤️

[bartonabrams]

Every time I hear this specific version two thoughts pop in my head-1. Boss music. 2. A city in pure terror hearing this come through on everything with speakers knowing you’re about to get your butt kicked in a siege similar to American son being broadcasted by cobra pilots during combat runs

[benjaminjack]

You are a legend sir. I do corrections as a living and am on our States special response team. This is NOW our jam before we go handle business. Thank you for this!
