Ancient Drum

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

The hall sat silent

Before the first slam

Then something old and wild

Woke up in my hands

One drum

Two drums

Then a hundred more

Like thunder crashing

Through heaven's door

Pre-Chorus

Raise your arms

Raise them toward the night

Feel the current

Split the sky

Chorus

Thunder of Valhalla

Rolling through the dark

Hear the ancient heartbeat

Watch the heavens spark

Thunder of Valhalla

Let the rooftops shake

Wake the frozen mountains

Make the old gods wake

Bridge

Hey

Hear the drums

Hey

Here they come

Verse 2

Fire rings are turning

Boots against the ground

Brothers sisters shouting

Louder than the sound

No battlefields surround us

No enemy tonight

Just drums and tangled voices

Under northern light

Pre-Chorus

Faster now

Let it climb

Higher still

Every time

Chorus

Thunder of Valhalla

Rolling through the dark

Hear the ancient heartbeat

Watch the heavens spark

Thunder of Valhalla

Let the rooftops shake

Wake the frozen mountains

Make the old gods wake

Outro-Breakdown

One heartbeat

One people

One sound

Till morning breaks

Hey

Hey

Let the thunder roll

Hey

Hey

Let it take your soul
