Valkyrie Three

This female three
Of Norse myth
Bring their chosen ones
To be with
 
The fallen ones
In the afterlife hall of the slain
Where in Valhalla
They will remain
 
These daughters of royalty
With their ravens so black
To be with their warriors
Who can't go back
 
These einherjar
Bravely, in battle died
Where they feast on the Saehrimnir 
Viking pride
 
Herja, Svipul
Herfjotor, the three
Attested to 
Norse Mythology
 
The chooser of the slain
These Valkyrie select
To live with the gods
Ultimate elect
 
As they enter the hall
Beside Odin and Thor
Baldr, Bragi 
And Dellingr
 
Not to become gods
But in Norse afterlife
To die by the sword
In battle strife
