Sleipnir - 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

To the hall of heroes shall be led

Ride down from Asgard

To the battlefield

Bringer of the valiant dead

Who died, but never yielded

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

Carry we who die in battle

Over land and sea

Across the rainbow bridge to Valhalla

Odin’s waiting
