Strive for that Hallowed Place
MP3 (1,3 MB)
Midi
Sheet music
Sheet music with harmonies
On Heimdall's rainbow bridge
I stand
and cast a wishful eye
on Asgard's great and lofty halls,
where my desires lie.
(Chorus)
I strive for that hallowed place,
I
strive for that hallowed place,
With gods and goddesses to feast all night,
I strive for that hallowed place.
There generous fruits that never fail
On trees immortal grow.
There rocks and hills and brooks and vales
With mead and honey flow.
(Chorus)
I strive for that hallowed place,
I
strive for that hallowed place,
With gods and goddesses to feast all night,
I strive for that hallowed place.
Soon will the gods my soul prepare
for joys up in the sky,
Where never-ceasing pleasures roll
And kinship never dies.
(Chorus)
I strive for that hallowed place,
I
strive for that hallowed place,
With gods and goddesses to feast all night,
I strive for that hallowed place.
