Dexter Ward - 'In the Days of Epic Metal' (Up The Hammers 2026)

I'm standing on the edge
Of the last horizon
Sands of time are in my hands
I've traveled oh so far
Seeking sanctuary
from the darkness of the night
Here come the memories,
Like a distant fire
And the pain of growing old
This is the last goodbye,
Light my burning pyre
Gods of war
I'm coming home

Beyond the mountains of the West
Across the glaciers
I'll be on my way
And with the ravens I shall fly
One with the legend,
One with the glory

And when my time is close at hand
Since I'm a warrior
I will understand
They will await me
way up high
On to Valhalla,
Odin I'm coming home

The Valkyries take me to the clouds
On golden chariots,
The fight will never end
I am immortal,
I stand proud
I'm everlasting,
Not just a memory

And when the night is growing cold
My brothers, do not fear,
I'm standing by your side
I will return on dragon wings
One with the thunder
Into the raging storm

Fly, soldiers of light
Into the sky, mighty warriors
Fly, into the fight,
Reach for the stars

On through the kingdoms of ice
We have sailed
On golden waves
To the All-father
Past days are gone
Like a gleam on the blade
Now our swords sing
To the rising sun

Fly, soldiers of light
Into the sky, mighty warriors
Fly, into the fight,
Reach for the stars
