Again, the scholar of our group...John Ohlmann was at the helm. His knowledge of the Viking myths and the place of Asgard and the ascension to the heaven of Valhalla was the intention of this tune. Comedy and lightness..yes. This song was also a Sparing Match where John would begin a verse..and I would have to rhyme the next one to his last word. We were imitating a Viking clan at their feasting hall, raising a toast of ale to our coming deaths. We had no idea at the time..that this was indeed the last time the four of us would be making music together.
lyrics
Valhalla it calls to me
Valhalla it calls to me
By the frozen Sea
In the darkest night I See
I grasp my magic sword
I thrust it in a rock real hard
Then before my eyes I see
The gods in the sky for me
In Valhalla..it calls to Me
There the valkyries fly in the sky
With wings like birds I see
And from the sacred city of Asgard
They all call out to Me
Valhalla you call to Me
Valhalla I follow you in my dreams at Night
There I look...for the sword of Light
And if I should die in battle I hope with speed
Valhalla for me
It Calls Out to Me
