(Verse 1)
Riding the skies in his winged chariot
Thor brings the storm, the wind and riot
His hammer's echo shakes the sky
As lightning bolts dance from his eyes
A god of old, with power to command
The skies obey his mighty hand

(Chorus)
Thor, Thor, you're the thunder god
With Mjolnir's might, you shake the ground
Thor, Thor, Thor, you're the thunder god
Guardian of the stormy sea
Lorridi

(Verse 2)
With each crack and flash, you paint the night
I hear the rumble, the thunder's might
With every strike, the sky quakes
With thunderbolts, the earth shakes
A god of old, with power to command
The skies obey his mighty hand

(Chorus)
Thor, Thor, you're the thunder god
With Mjolnir's might, you shake the ground
Thor, Thor, Thor, you're the thunder god
Guardian of the stormy sea
Lorridi

(Solo)

(Bridge)
In every storm I hear his voice
A reminder of his mighty choice
To protect the brave and vanquish fear
The thunder god is always near

(Chorus)
Thor, Thor, you're the thunder god
With Mjolnir's might, you shake the ground
Thor, Thor, Thor, you're the thunder god
Guardian of the stormy sea
Lorridi

(Verse 1)
The battle cries out, a melody of steel
The air is thick with smoke, the scent of death you smell
A warrior's heart beats strong, a fire in his heart
He fights with fury, and for treasures to bring home

(Chorus)
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where heroes never die
A feast of mead and laughter, beneath a sky of gold and fire
They raise their horns, and sing out loud
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where legends never die

(Verse 2)
The battlefield is silent, the smoke begins to clear
The fallen lie in slumber, their spirits filled with joy
For they have earned their place, around the table in Odin's hall
Where warriors gather, and their stories will never die

(Chorus)
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise
A feast of mead and laughter, beneath a sky of gold and fire
They raise their horns, and sing out loud
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where legends never die

(SOLO)

(Chorus)
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise
A feast of mead and laughter, beneath a sky of gold and fire
They raise their horns, and sing out loud
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where legends never die


Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where legends never die

(Verse 1)
The wind howls wild, a mournful cry
Across the frozen, northern sky
A fire burns on Asgard's ground
Odin's Hall, where warriors abound

(Chorus)
Valhalla's gates, they stand so tall
Where warriors feast and sing out loud
In Odin's hall, made of gold
Where warriors drink, and never die

(Verse 2)
The longship sails on a silver sea
To reach the shores of eternity
The Valkyries choose with hands of fate
The souls they guide eternally

(Chorus)
Valhalla's gates, they stand so tall
Where warriors feast and sing out loud
In Odin's hall, made of gold
Where warriors drink, and never die

(SOLO)

Valhalla's gates, they stand so tall
Where warriors feast and sing out loud
In Odin's hall, made of gold

In Odin's hall, made of gold
Where warriors drink, and never die

(Verse 1)
From the heavens, a warrior's cry
Valkyrie, with wings she flies
God-chosen guide, to guide the slain
To Valhalla, the hall of all heroes

(Chorus)
Valkyrie, Valkyrie, maiden of might
Your ethereal presence, a beacon of light
Valkyrie, Valkyrie, maiden of might
Guiding the spirits of the fearless and righteous

(Verse 2)
With a spear in hand, and a shield ablaze
You guard the departed against the veil of death
Your armor gleams in your enemy's face
Even in the darkest of nights, your spirit will stay

(Chorus)
Valkyrie, Valkyrie, maiden of might
Your ethereal presence, a beacon of light
Valkyrie, Valkyrie, maiden of might
Guiding the spirits of the fearless and righteous

(Verse 1)
The air is thick with smoke and sweat, the ground is soaked in red
But hearts beat strong, a primal urge, a promise that was said
The sun bleeds crimson, paints the sky with fire
A battlefield of broken dreams

(Chorus)
We fight for glory, etched in pain and pride
We fight for glory
We stand united against the tide of fear

(Verse 2)
The enemy approaches, shadows long and cold
Their eyes filled with malice, their stories untold
But fear's a whisper, lost in the thunder of the drums
As we charge forward, a thunderstorm, the battle cry's begun

(Chorus)
We fight for glory, etched in pain and pride
We fight for glory
We stand united against the tide of fear

(Bridge)
The ground is littered with the fallen, but our spirit will never die
It lives in every step we take, in every tear we cry
For victory's promise, a light in the dark

(SOLO)

(Chorus)
We fight for glory, etched in pain and pride
We fight for glory
We stand united against the tide of fear

We Fight For Glory

(Verse 1)
The wind sings a dirge, across the icy plain
Bloodstains on the dirt, a story of pain
We've raided far and wide, with axes keen and bright
But battles left behind, no longer fill our sight

(Chorus)
Vikings, it's time to go home
The call of the North, it echoes in our bones
Across the storm-tossed seas, our longboats will sail
To hear the laughter of children, In the safe embrace of home

(Verse 2)
The halls of Valhalla, hold promises of might
But there's a longing in our hearts, for the fire's gentle light
For wives and sons, and the land where we were born
For fields of green and barley, where we'll spend the coming morn

(Chorus)
Vikings, it's time to go home
The call of the North, it echoes in our bones
Across the storm-tossed seas, our longboats will sail
To hear the laughter of children, In the safe embrace of home

(SOLO)

(Chorus)
Vikings, it's time to go home
The call of the North, it echoes in our bones
Across the storm-tossed seas, our longboats will sail
To hear the laughter of children, In the safe embrace of home

(Verse 1)
In fjords so deep, flanked by mountains so high 
A vessel that sailed through history's tide
Longship, mighty and swift on the wave
Bearing the Nordic conquest

(Chorus)
Longship, Longship, sails unfurled
Bring us to battle, for conquest you serve
Longship, Longship, sails unfurled
Your spirit carries us to conquer the world

(Verse 2)
Through endless seas and hard-fought battles
Steered by the warriors with hundreds of paddles
Your dragon head roars, striking with fear
Our foes tremble as the Longships appear

(Chorus)
Longship, Longship, sails unfurled
Bring us to battle, for conquest you serve
Longship, Longship, sails unfurled
Your spirit carries us to conquer the world

(SOLO)

(Verse 1)
The wind whips cold across the plains, a bitter, icy sting
The snow hiding everything
The hand of winter grips the land, a frozen, empty world
But in the north, a fire truly burns

(Chorus)
Feel the anger of the Northerners
A force unleashed, we are the berserkers
Feel the anger of the Northerners
A force unleashed, we are the berserkers
With every icy gust and biting gale
We will rise and our resolve will prevail

(Verse 2)
The anger of the Northerners
A storm about to break
A restless spirit unchained
Facing hardship and pain

(Chorus)
Feel the anger of the Northerners
A force unleashed, we are the berserkers
Feel the anger of the Northerners
A force unleashed, we are the berserkers
With every icy gust and biting gale
We will rise and our resolve will prevail

(Bridge)
They stand united, strong and fierce, their eyes ablaze with fire
No longer will they bend the knee, their spirit will not tire

(SOLO)

(Chorus)
Feel the anger of the Northerners
A force unleashed, we are the berserkers
Feel the anger of the Northerners
A force unleashed, we are the berserkers
With every icy gust and biting gale
We will rise and our resolve will prevail

The banners wave, the drums they roll
A rumble deep within our soul
The call to arms, a thunderous sound
As we stand tall, on sacred ground

(Chorus)
Stand beside our mighty king
His strength and grace, a guiding thing
With loyalty, our hearts ablaze
We'll fight for him, through all our days

The battle lines, they form and clash
Our swords they sing, a fearless flash
No fear we hold, no doubt we know
For victory's song, will surely flow

His strength and grace, a guiding thing
With loyalty, our hearts ablaze
We'll fight for him, through all our days

(Verse 1)
The castle walls are silent, the banners hang in shame
The trumpets sound a mournful song, a whisper of his name
The king is dead, the king is dead, the news spreads like a fire 
Across the land, a somber hush, the kingdom's heart desires

(Chorus)
The king is dead, long live the king
The power shifts, the ring changes hand
A throne left empty, a crown to claim
A nation waits, to call out his name

(Verse 2)
The court in mourning, black and grey, the courtiers shed a tear
But in their eyes, a flicker burns, of ambition and of fear
A empty throne, power waits, a prize for those who dare
To seize the crown, to break the chains, and claim the kingdom's land

(Chorus)
The king is dead, long live the king
The power shifts, the ring changes hand
A throne left empty, a crown to claim
A nation waits, to call out his name

(SOLO)

(Chorus)
The king is dead, long live the king
The power shifts, the ring changes hand
A throne left empty, a crown to claim
A nation waits, to call out his name

The King Is Dead

(Verse 1)
In the land where the mountains rise
Underneath the stormy skies
With the winds that howl like ancient ghosts
We gather strong, we are the hosts
With our hearts entwined in loyalty
Brothers and sisters, wild and free
Through the frost and fierce, unyielding cold

(Chorus)
We are the warriors from the north
Born of the ice, where true strength is forged
With fire in our souls, and courage in our veins
We are the warriors from the north 
Born of the ice, where true strength is forged
With the spirit of the ancients
We'll stand together, break these chains
We are the warriors

(Verse 2)
From the fjords to the forests deep
Through the trials and secrets we keep
With the thunder rolling from our battle cries
We'll forge our destiny, we’ll touch the skies
With a sword in hand and pride in our stance
We’ll dance with the flames, we’ll take our chance

(Chorus)
We are the warriors from the north
Born of the ice, where true strength is forged
With fire in our souls, and courage in our veins
We are the warriors from the north 
Born of the ice, where true strength is forged
With the spirit of the ancients
We'll stand together, break these chains
We are the warriors

(Solo)

(Chorus)
We are the warriors from the north
Born of the ice, where true strength is forged
With fire in our souls, and courage in our veins
We are the warriors from the north 
Born of the ice, where true strength is forged
With the spirit of the ancients
We'll stand together, break these chains
We are the warriors

Warriors From The North

(Verse 1)
In the heart of the night, where the shadows fall
We stand with our blades, answering the call
The steel in our hands, a reflection of our will
In the dance with fate, blood must spill

(Chorus)
We die by our swords in the wars we wage
With honor we fight, with honor and might!

(Verse 2)
From our birth to our death
Back to earth on our last breath
We live by the code and we pledge to fight
In the realm of the brave under the pale moonlight

(Chorus)
We die by our swords in the wars we wage
With honor we fight, with honor and might!

(Bridge)
The scars that we wear, the tales that we tell
Instill the fear in the foes we will fell
As the battle carries on!

(Solo)

(Chorus)
We die by our swords in the wars we wage
With honor we fight, with honor and might!
We die by our swords in the wars we wage
With honor and might, towards the light!

We Die By Our Swords

(Verse 1)
The wind whispers tales of battles won and lost
Of empires crumbled, a heavy cost
But the echoes remain, a haunting sound
Blood on my sword, staining the ground

(Chorus)
Blood on my sword, a crimson stain
A testament to sorrow, a bitter pain
Each drop a life, a soul to bear
A weight I carry, heavy and cold

(Verse 2)
Through fields of carnage, I fought my way
With blade in hand, I wouldn't sway
The screams of the fallen, a symphony of fear
Blood on my sword dries with a tear

(Chorus)
Blood on my sword, a crimson stain
A testament to sorrow, a bitter pain
Each drop a life, a soul to bear
A weight I carry, heavy and cold

(Bridge)
Will this ever end, this endless fight?
Will peace ever dawn, a guiding light?
The blood on my hands, it won't wash away
A constant reminder of the darkest day

(SOLO)

(Chorus)
Blood on my sword, a crimson stain
A testament to sorrow, a bitter pain
Each drop a life, a soul to bear
A weight I carry, heavy and cold

A Crimson Stain

LORRIDI is a Folk/Viking Power Metal one-man band by Jan Magne Garte. Taking inspiration from the sagas of the viking age and norse mythology, Garte creates vivid images of the old gods and warriors through his music and lyrics.

Born in Norway, 1971. At the age of 16, Jan Magne Garte played bass in different bands starting in the mid '80s. Growing in popularity and opening for some of the most popular Norwegian Rock bands at the time. By the early 2000s, Garte started expanding his repertoire by singing songs himself and switching from bass to guitar.

Around the same time his parental duties would start to take the focus from the music, and his career as a musician   took a hiatus for almost two decades. Now after all this time, his love for making music has truly rekindled and the old musician has returned. 

All of his music is heavly influenced by the songs of his youth, from genres such as '80s hard rock, heavy metal, thrash, but also taking notes from the next generation of musicians.

Garte also has another solo project under his own name. 
All tracks were composed, arranged, recorded and mastered by Garte himself.
