"Sleipnir" lyrics

"Sleipnir"

Eight hoof tracks in the morning snow
The steed takes flight and the trail goes cold
My heart left home my past soon far behind
An eyeblink and the two no longer weigh on my mind, so ride!

Ride, O Slaying Star!
Ray of light, let me chase the night
Valhall can wait
Ride Eight-bound!
Death and beauty cross the sky
Behold that grace!
By your silver mane... We call your name

Sleipnir!
Speed unobstructed
Joyride of destruction!
Gods' ultimate construction!
Sleipnir!
As the elder engine roars
Designed to conquer all let us chase nightfall
The Kings of Darkness ineffable!

Headlamps dark, into the night
Not much use at the speed of light!
Way past escape velocity, ferocity, pure haste
Pissed Valkyries in chase, even light can't match our pace
So ride!

Ride, O Sleipnir ride!
Let me ride just one last time
V8 of the Gods!
Ride, Storm-bound!
Thunder raging cross the earth
As it quakes in your eight-hooved wake...

Sleipnir!
Fury unobstructed
Silver-maned seduction
To race for self-destruction!
Sleipnir!
Take me from the piercing light
Into the void of night
Take flight and ride, O Sleipnir!
Reckless abandon, I bow to your will
One more acceleration, that rush for which I'd kill!

No escaping this velocity!
Epic mount, a monstrosity
From my past on your back, there I feel so free
'Til Odin finds we stole his steed!
