[Verse]
    Em      G          Em         D
The age of legends has come to an end
    Em         Am      Bm         D
the stories we know we stand to defend
    Em         G            Em       D
and we wish to remember the glorious tales
    Em        D        Em
of giants and gods and heroes

[Interlude]
Em D  G Bm Em D Em Em

Do you remember the songs about Thor
the strong thundergod and the hammer he wore
the brave son of Odin who defended our realm
against Jotunheims dark armies

[Chorus]
    Bm        C            D          Em
And if you believe and old world will rise
C                G              Em            D
Gods will stand strong and old songs will be sung
Am      Em
in the halls of Odin

Sad tales about the loss of a son
and joyful songs about wars we have won
Stories of brotherhood and powerful gods
and those of mighty heroes

These are the songs of our past and our prime
a link between us and the ancient times
a memory of honour the times we were strong
wich never shall be forgotten

(Chorus)

We're the defenders of legend and myth
we'll charish these songs 'till the day of our death
and when the time of our last breath has come
we'll pass through the gates of Heimdal

[Solo]
Same chords as verse

Gone are the days of adventure and might
the stories of gods have slipped into the night
and the strength of the north seems faded away
and only a few remembers

[Alternate Chorus] (only text is changed)
But when we sing songs about Gods of old
We are still strong we are fearless and bold
we are the sons of the northland

if you believe and old world will rise
Gods will stand strong and old songs will be sung
in the halls of Odin
