In the age when ravens ruled the skies, And winter crowned the northern seas, There stood a hall of oak and stone, Raised by kings and ancient trees. Its fires burned through longest nights, Its roof touched stars above the snow, And every warrior knew the name Of mighty Volsung long ago. The skalds would sing, The mead would flow, Of blood and honor, The old gods know. But fate had woven A darker thread, Through halls of glory, And paths ahead. Hail the Hall of Volsung, Where legends first were born. Where Odin walked among men On a cold and fateful morn. Hail the Hall of Volsung, Where destiny took form, For beneath its mighty rafters Rose the coming of the storm. The king sat high upon his throne, His children gathered by his side, The feast was rich, the laughter loud, The hearthfire danced with pride. Then through the doors a stranger came, One-eyed beneath a hood of grey, No trumpet called, no guard had seen The wanderer on his way. No mortal gaze Could understand, The silent power Within his hand. For all who watched Would live to tell, The day a god Came to their hall. Hail the Hall of Volsung. Where legends first were born, Where Odin walked among men On a cold and fateful morn. Hail the Hall of Volsung, Where destiny took form, For beneath its mighty rafters Rose the coming of the storm. Into the trunk of Barnstokkr The wanderer drove his blade, Silver lightning forged in steel, A promise fate had made. "Who draws this sword shall own it," The stranger softly cried, Then vanished like the northern mist Before the turning tide. Hail the Hall of Volsung, Where Gram first saw the light, The sword that gods had gifted For the world's most glorious fight. Hail the Hall of Volsung, Let every skald perform, For there beneath the branches Was born the dragon storm. Remember now the ancient hall, Remember fire and fame, For every saga yet untold Began with Volsung's name.
