Jeden ze základních kamenů hardrockové muziky 70. let a skupina, která naznačila další ubírání rockové hudby směrem k heavy metalu. Pozdější metalové proudy navazovaly i na jejich složku textovou a ideovou (okultismus, mysticismus apod.)....

Píseň: Valhalla

Interpret:
Black Sabbath
Album:
Tyr
Leading us on, to the land of eternity 
Riding the cold cold winds of Valhalla 


The Kingdom of Odin is the Kingdom of Gods 
Where only souls of the brave may rest in peace 
But someone among them had the skill of deceit 
And raised the hand that would open the road to Hel 


CHORUS: 
When the winds of Valhalla run cold 
Be sure that the blood will start to flow 
When the winds of Valhalla run cold 
Valhalla 


The ring has been broken and a soul must be saved 
Among the bravest of men, who rides to Hel 
The longships are sailing and the chariots ride 
And yes the anger of Thor will serve you well 


CHORUS 


Raise your hands 
reach and Valhalla will save your soul 
Raise your eyes 
and Odin will lead us on 


They say that history repeats itself 
upon the year of the seventh century 
Well nobody knows, no you never can tell 
So you'd better run now and hide away
