Pre Chorus He knows each path, each battle’s call, Who stands, who falls, who answers all. No fate is blind, no blade in vain — The runes reveal what must remain. Chorus The Allfather’s gaze — through ages, through the mist, Sees the battles, sees the scars, knows what’s missed. He does not judge — he leads us on, To glory everlasting, to the battle’s song! Hail! Hail! To glory! Hail! Verse 2 In savage fight, in smoke and flame, When death calls out each warrior’s name, Odin knows whose blade will shine, Whose ship sails on to realms divine. Pre Chorus He sees the wounds, he knows the pride, Who will stand tall, who will abide. Not in fear we live, but in the fight — Under the god’s all seeing sight. Chorus The Allfather’s gaze — through ages, through the mist, Sees the battles, sees the scars, knows what’s missed. He does not judge — he leads us on, To glory everlasting, to the battle’s song!
