Jack Daniels & Jesus Lyrics


This dirt road communion sure won’t lead me to revival
Between the black label and the letters in red
I’ve felt what livin’ is and what it’s like to live dead

I’ve taken a ride in the devil’s Cadillac
I’ve been so high thought I wasn’t comin’ back
And just when I think I’m too far-gone
A ringing in my head’s the 23rd psalm
I’ve seen the light, I’ve seen the darkness
Only God knows where my heart is
I’ve got my strength, and Lord knows I’ve got my weakness
Oh, I’m lost somewhere between Jack Daniel’s and Jesus

It’s my fault that I ain’t called my momma in a month on Sundays
She’d smell the whiskey through that phone
I can’t stand to hear her heart break
Next week I see my brother Casey for the first time
Since it all went down and I blacked his eye the night after our daddy died

I’ve taken a ride in the devil’s Cadillac
I’ve been so high thought I wasn’t comin’ back
And just when I think I’m too far-gone
A ringing in my head’s the 23rd psalm
I’ve seen the light, I’ve seen the darkness
Only God knows where my heart is
I’ve got my strength, and Lord knows I’ve got my weakness
Oh, I’m lost somewhere between Jack Daniel’s and Jesus

I ain’t afraid to admit I’ve hit rock bottom
If you wanna see a lifetime full of sins
Just look at me, I’ve got ‘em

I’ve taken a ride in the devil’s Cadillac
I’ve been so high thought I wasn’t comin’ back
And just when I think I’m too far-gone
A ringing in my head’s the 23rd psalm
I’ve seen the light, I’ve seen the darkness
Only God knows where my heart is
I’ve got my strength, and Lord knows I’ve got my weakness
Oh, I’m lost somewhere between Jack Daniel’s and Jesus

Jack Daniels & Jesus Song Chart
  • Chase Rice is known for his love of partying and alcohol but this piano ballad shows another side of him.

    I've seen the light, I've seen the darkness
    Only God knows where my heart is
    I've got my strength and Lord knows I've got my weakness
    Oh, I'm lost somewhere between Jack Daniels and Jesus


    "It's my life in a song," he told Taste of Country . "It's a pretty down time in my life."
  • Rice told Radio.com this is the most honest song on Ignite the Night. "My brother's name is in the song. I didn't hold back at all on that one," he said. "When it comes to music, I want to show them exactly who I am,. It goes into depth about my family, my dad passing away, drinking too much sometimes."

    "For me, alcoholism has never been a problem but there are people out there who have related to 'Jack Daniels and Jesus' who have said its changed their lives," he continued. "They said it made them throw the bottle down. If I held back on that song maybe it would have never happened and their lives would have never been changed. That's why I never choose to hold back on any of my songs."

    This Night Lyrics


    Didn't I say
    I wasn't ready for romance?
    Didn't we promise
    We would only be friends?
    And so we danced
    Though it was only a slow dance,
    I started breaking my promises right there and then

    Didn't I swear
    There would be no complications?
    Didn't you want
    Someone who's seen it all before?
    Now that you're here
    It's not the same situation,
    Suddenly I don't remember the rules anymore

    This Night is mine
    It's only you and I
    Tomorrow is a long time away
    This night can last forever

    I've been around
    Someone like me should know better
    Falling in love
    Would be the worst thing I could do
    Didn't I say
    I needed time to forget her?
    Aren't you running
    From someone who's not over you?

    How many nights
    Have I been lonely without you?
    I tell myself
    How much I really don't care
    How many nights
    Have I been thinking about you?
    Wanting to hold you
    But knowing you would not be there

    But this night you're mine
    It's only you and I
    I'll tell you to forget yesterday
    This night we are together

    This night is mine
    It's only you and I
    Tomorrow is a long time away
    This night can last forever

    This night
    Ooh
    Ooh

    Tomorrow is such a long time away
    This night can last forever

    No More Lyrics


    The light is shining
    Still I'm not so surprised
    One thousand voice mails
    For one thousand lies

    Blind faith, lost trust
    All along it was plain to see
    Years passed, lost touch
    Leads the path to insanity

    Take another shot, show me what you got
    It was never gonna last forever
    Open your eyes, try and realize
    Once is enough so tonight now I say

    No More, from a voice that breaks the awkward silence
    No more, never heard so loud before
    Made the same mistakes a thousand times
    Never meant to be like this so I say
    No more tonight
    And it feels all right

    Dark nights, long passed
    Waking up from a pointless dream
    Brighter days, brighter times
    Hides the fatal reality

    Questions, answers
    False addiction to nothing real
    Lights fade, crushed to dust
    Desperation in tragedy

    Take another shot, show me what you got
    It was never gonna last forever
    Open your eyes, try and realize
    Once is enough so tonight now I say

    No more, from a voice that breaks the awkward silence
    No more, never heard so loud before
    Made the same mistakes a thousand times
    Never meant to be like this so I say
    No more tonight
    And it feels all right

    (No more) Same old game we play together
    (No more) Time will pass, we'll still remember
    (No more) But tonight this game is over
    (No more) Strangers in the night forever

    No more, from a voice that breaks the awkward silence
    No more, never heard so loud before
    Made the same mistakes a thousand times
    Never meant to be like this so I say
    No more tonight
    And it feels all right

    And it feels all right

    No More Song Chart
  • Guitarist Herman Li explained the song's meaning to AMH Network : "The lyrics are not about a sad relationship breakup," he said. "It's more like a 'I don't really care about it, why did I care in the first place' kind of song."
  • This features guest vocals by Matt Heafy of Trivium. It was one of three Maximum Overload tracks that he contributed towards. Guitarist Herman Li explained to MetalInsider : "The way we were recording the new album, we got to the point where we needed different kind of backing vocalists in certain songs, like 'The Game,' 'Defenders,' and also 'No More.' Somehow, we just thought of Matt's name all of a sudden, and we just asked him basically."

    "He was really cool, he recorded so much stuff, so many different vocals and rough, and harmonized his own voice, and black metal, thrash metal versions, it was really awesome that he was able to take the time while he was off tour to do the backing vocals spots for our songs."

    Sussudio Lyrics


    There's this girl that's been on my mind
    All the time, Sussudio oh oh
    Now she don't even know my name
    But I think she likes me just the same
    Sussudio oh oh

    Oh if she called me I'd be there
    I'd come running anywhere
    She's all I need, all my life
    I feel so good if I just say the word
    Sussudio, just say the word
    Oh Sussudio

    Now I know that I'm too young
    My love has just begun
    Sussudio oh oh
    Ooh give me a chance, give me a sign
    I'll show her anytime
    Sussudio oh oh

    Ah, I've just got to have her, have her now
    I've got to get closer but I don't know how
    She makes me nervous and makes me scared
    But I feel so good if I just say the word
    Sussudio just say the word
    Oh Sussudio, oh

    Ah, she's all I need all of my life
    I feel so good if I just say the word
    Sussudio I just say the word
    Oh Sussudio I just say the word
    Oh Sussudio I'll say the word
    Sussudio oh oh oh

    Sussudio Song Chart
  • On a 1997 episode of VH1 Storytellers, Collins said: "This is one of those examples of improvising lyrics. You know, sometimes you can use the lyric, other times you're in big trouble, because what you write doesn't mean anything. So I set up this drum-machine pad, and I got some chords, and I started to sing into the microphone, and this word came out, which was "sus-sussudio." It just literally came out, at the time... that was back when I could dance, so I kind of knew I had to find something else for that word, then I went back and tried to find another word that scanned as well as "sussudio," and I couldn't find one, so I went back to "sussudio."

    Then I thought OK, let's give it a meaning, what is it? The lyrics are based on this schoolboy crush on this girl at school. It's happening with my daughter now, she's eight years old and she loves this boy, but she won't tell him, like in the lyrics this boy loves her but they don't talk about it... how do they know? 'I know she likes me, I know she likes me, doesn't know my name, doesn't know I exist, but I know she likes me'... So that's what the song is about, so "sussudio" became a name for this person, and since it's become a name for a horse. My older daughter's got a horse called Sussudio, and I'm sure there are children all over the world with the name Sussudio, so I apologize for that."
  • As was the rest of the album, this was recorded in Collins' living room shortly after he married his second wife.
  • When this was released in 1985, critics assailed Collins for its similarity with Prince's hit "1999." Collins responded by saying that he was a "big Prince fan" and that his original version of "Sussudio" sounded even more like Prince.
  • "Sussudio" is a girl's name in the lyrics, but it is also the name Collins gave to the song's drum track.
  • This was the second US #1 hit from the No Jacket Required album. The first was "One More Night."
  • Collins recalled to The Mail on Sunday: "This is me trying to write a dance tune! It always fascinated me that the horn players would come in and play a song of mine and suddenly make it R&B. It was influenced by Prince, of course, and was the first time I worked with dance synth programmers."
  • Collins used The Phenix Horns on this track, who were famous for their work with Earth, Wind & Fire. Collins started working with them in 1981 when he put them on his solo track "I Missed Again" and also on the Genesis song "No Reply At All."
  • John Potoker, who was Collins' go-to guy for remixes, created the extended remix of this song that was released as a 12" single. Potoker says his work on "Sussudio" is some of his best, and that he was thrilled to learn that Collins was using this arrangement on his tour.
  • Like the clip for "One More Night," the music video was filmed at The Princess Victoria, a London pub owned by Virgin Records' founder Richard Branson. Collins and his band (guitarist Daryl Stuermer, drummer Chester Thompson, and bass player Lee Sklar) woo a bored crowd with a performance of the song.
  • In the video for Collins' ...But Seriously track "Hang In Long Enough," he and the band perform aboard a Titanic-like ship called the "S.S. Udio," a reference to this song.
  • This features in the movie American Psycho in a scene where Christian Bale's serial killer Patrick Bateman puts it on after doing a monologue about the brilliance of Phil Collins and Genesis. He says, "This is 'Sussudio.' Great, great song. Personal favorite."

    The Genesis song "In Too Deep" is also used in and discussed in the film.

    Defenders Lyrics


    Life's uncertain, a rat-race of pain
    Endlessly searching for more
    Hopeless and needless, held back the chains
    'Till we can't take anymore

    Hold on, Stay strong
    Breaking out from the past life fading
    No more, what for
    All we got is to keep on praying

    Pray for the done for, the lives in dismay
    Witness the final decay
    Suffering in silence for years we were blind
    But now we git something to say

    Hold on, stay strong
    'Till the end a fate of dying
    No more, what for
    Nothing left but to keep on fighting

    United, incited, not misguided
    We'll fight through time before our one true destiny
    Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided
    This day foretold now here for all to see

    So free in the blue skies with time marches on
    Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold
    Strangers in a strange world, Defenders through time
    Cursed in our kingdom of unholy fire

    Legends of darkness will be on the grave
    Spill their blood under the sun
    Voices are calling with anger and rage
    The final war now has begun

    Hold on, stay strong
    'Till the end a fate of dying
    No more, what for
    Nothing left but to keep on fighting

    United, incited, not misguided
    We'll fight through time before our one true destiny
    Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided
    This day foretold now here for all to see

    So free in the blue skies with time marches on
    Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold
    Strangers in a strange world, defenders through time
    Cursed in our kingdom of unholy fire

    Hear our call, save us all
    Standing tall tonight

    The flame will slowly fade away
    The shadows of our lives
    Will ash away the memories
    Before the last sunrise

    We'll keep holding on
    In the sands of changes
    Standing strong against the winds
    Until the end of time

    Hold on, stay strong
    'Till the end, not afraid of dying
    No more, what for
    Nothing left but to keep on fighting

    United, incited, not misguided
    We'll fight through time before our one true destiny
    Benighted, ignited, still strong and undivided
    This day foretold now here for all to see

    So free in the blue skies with time marches on
    Once more maybe we'll find our peace to behold
    Strangers in a strange world, defenders through time
    Cursed in our kingdom of unholy fire

    Defenders Song Chart
  • This rapid-fire rocker features guest backing vocals by Matt Heafy of Trivium, who also contributed to "The Game" and "No More" on Maximum Overload. In our interview with DragonForce guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman , Li explained: "Matt had been a friend of ours for quite a few years now, and he's got a great voice and so many diverse tones. It just came about that we decided, 'Hey, why don't we just ask Matt if he'll do it?' And he did an amazing job. He did so many different voices, like death metal, black metal, pop, and thrashy metal - different backing vocals for these songs."
  • This was one of the first tracks DragonForce finished recording for Maximum Overload. Herman Li told Loudwire the story of the song: "The idea for this song was to create a contrast, by fusing some thrash metal style riffs with DragonForce's big epic choruses and high speed twin guitars solos," he said. "Our friend Matt Heafy from Trivium helped us out with some aggressive backing vocals in the pre choruses."

    "In terms of lyrics, here we went for our classic fantasy approach similar to our first album," Li added.

    I Wanna Sex You Up Song Chart
  • This song's bass line is sampled from Betty Wright's "Tonight is the Night," which chronicles a young woman's very first "intimate encounter" with a man. In that song, which was recorded during a live performance, Ms. Wright is heard telling her audience the story of how she came to write the song, and how her mother did not exactly approve of her performing it in public. According to Ms. Wright, her mother, properly mortified by the song's subject matter, righteously exclaimed, "I KNOW you're not gonna sing THAT song!" That line ("I KNOW you're not gonna sing THAT song.") can be heard throughout "I Wanna Sex You Up." (thanks, Robin - Birmingham, AL)
  • This was the debut single for both the group and the record label, Giant Records. It was a huge hit, but it did offend the sensibilities of some listeners. At a few radio stations, they referred to the song as "I Wanna Love You Up."
  • This was written for the 1991 movie New Jack City starring Wesley Snipes and Ice-T. When they were looking for songs for the film, the producers wanted the modern R&B sound - "New Jack Swing" - that artists like Bobby Brown and Jodi Watley were using. To get it, they contacted the producer/songwriter Elliott Straite, who had written the Bell Biv Devoe hit "Poison."

    They showed him the film and let him pick a scene to soundtrack; he chose one where the character Uniqua (Tracy Camilla Johns) does a striptease for Nino, the kingpin played by Snipes. He wrote this sexy song specifically for the scene.
  • Bryan Abrams, Kevin Thornton, Mark Calderon, and Sam Watters formed the group (originally called Take One) at Northwestern High School in Oklahoma City. They made their debut at a high school talent show singing a jingle from a jeans commercial. When they were starting out, the group was known for its impromptu auditions, having sung without notice to Ronnie Milsap, Huey Lewis, Sheila E, The O'Jays, Jon Bon Jovi, Kool & the Gang, and Tony! Toni! Tone!
  • Color Me Badd's next two singles went to #1 in the US - "I Adore Mi Amor" and "All 4 Love."
  • This was used on Color Me Badd's first album, and also on the New Jack City soundtrack. The version on the soundtrack is rougher and a little more raunchy, with a spoken interlude where one of the guys tells a girl to "just lay back and enjoy the ride."

    I don't think I'm goin' out anymore
    You better find some other body to comfort.
    When I was trembling baby you was a diamond,
    But you ain't a diamond no more.

    So what you wanna say is my head is a hurricane
    Well l-l-l-let me sleep on that, uh huh, alright.
    You say I'm hopelessly devoted to misery
    Well I don't wanna be so devoted no more, aw yeah

    And all of my friends wanna get into heaven
    And all I keep thinkin' is "I wish you were here"
    I heard that they been callin' me "The Great Depression"
    Rollin' And Tumblin', breakin' my own heart again

    Shimmy shimmy shake baby right in my blood stream
    I don't know what it was that got in my room.
    My ticker-tape heart broke and everything shook in here
    But I learned it could be worse.

    So what you wanna say is my head is a weather-vane
    Spinning with the wind chime, right.
    Baby I was born on the fourth of July,
    Exploding like a firework, aw yeah

    And all of my friends wanna get into heaven
    And all I keep thinkin' is "I wish you were here"
    I heard that they been callin' me "The Great Depression"
    Rollin' and tumblin'

    And all of my friends wanna get into heaven
    And all I keep thinkin' is "I wish you were here"
    I heard that they been callin' me "The Great Depression"
    Rollin' and tumblin'

    So should I take everything, all your temporary medicines?
    Should I take your reds, your blues, and your cocaine?
    Should I take something to try on the weekend?
    Should I take anything, or did you mean everything?
    When I hit the wall, wrecked from it all
    You put flowers down on the cold ground
    And cry me a river
    And assure me I'm crazy
    While you question the answers
    And then you lean on my best friends
    Until you find better weather
    And you take a vacation
    I hope you got all my letters
    Signed "The Great Depression"

  • Brian Fallon sings here: "You say I'm hopelessly devoted to misery. But I don't want to be devoted anymore." Radio.com asked him if he thought hope could be punk? The Gaslight anthem frontman replied: "I think so. If you look at some of the bands when I was growing up, take The Clash. 'Stay Free'? I think that's a very hopeful song."

    "Early hardcore stuff, the melodic stuff that was coming out in our neck of the woods and Oregon, was actually really positive," Fallon continued. "'This is trouble, but it's not gonna hold me down.' Almost like a soul message, from the '60s. That real self-power thing. And for me, it also comes out of gospel music. I don't know if it's punk, but it's definitely where I'm coming from. And that line was like, 'I'm just sick of being miserable.' The Hell with this! Enough!"

  • This was written by Berry Gordy and Tyran Carlo (Roquel "Billy" Davis). The royalties from this song (and two hits by Marv Johnson) enabled Gordy to borrow the money needed to start up Motown Records.
  • This was the first chart single for Wilson, a native of Detroit. He had been in the group The Dominoes, but this was his first release as a solo artist.
  • The title comes from a Louis Jordan movie with an all-black cast called Reet, Petite, and Gone.
  • In 1986, this was re-released in the UK and rocketed to #1 after millions of Britons saw a Miller beer commercial featuring a plasticine-animated Jackie Wilson singing this song.
  • Van Morrison wrote and recorded a song called "Jackie Wilson Said," which was covered by Dexys Midnight Runners . The first line in that song is: "Well, Jackie Wilson said, it was Reet Petite..."
  • In British slang, "Reet" means "Righteous."
  • This song holds the record for taking the longest time to reach #1 in the UK. Released in 1957, it finally topped the charts in 1986. (thanks, Ray - Nuneaton, United Kingdom)

    Early Morning Rain Lyrics


    In the early mornin' rain
    With a dollar in my hand
    With an aching in my heart
    And my pockets full of sand
    I'm a long ways from home
    And I missed my loved one so
    In the early mornin' rain
    With no place to go

    Out on runway number nine
    Big seven o seven set to go
    Well I'm stuck here on the grass
    Where the pavement never grows
    Where the liquor tasted good
    And all the women all were fast
    There, there she goes my friend
    She's rolling down at last

    Hear the mighty engines roar
    See the silver wing on high
    She's away and westward bound
    For above the clouds she'll fly
    Where the mornin' rain don't fall
    And the sun always shines
    She'll be flying over my home
    In about three hours time

    This ol' airport's got me down
    It's no damn good to me
    And I'm stuck here on the ground
    As cold and drunk as I can be
    Can't jump a jet plane
    Like you can a freight train
    So I best be on my way
    In the early mornin' rain
    Can't jump a jet plane
    Like you can a freight train
    So I best be on my way
    In the early mornin' rain

    Early Morning Rain Song Chart
  • The first Gordon Lightfoot composition to become well known, this song was composed by the Canadian singer-songwriter in 1964. The tune describes a down-on-luck man far from home, observing the takeoff of a Boeing 707 plane. According to some sources, it was inspired by Lightfoot seeing off a friend at the Los Angeles airport.
  • One of Gordon Lightfoot's most covered songs, this was first featured on Judy Collins' Fifth Album, before its release by the Canadian singer-songwriter. Not much later it was recorded both by Ian & Sylvia as the title track of their 1965 album and by Peter, Paul & Mary for their See What Tomorrow Brings set. Other notable covers include ones by Bob Dylan on his 1970 Self Portrait LP, Elvis Presley, whose version can be heard on his 1972 Elvis Now disc and Paul Weller, whose interpretation reached #40 in the UK in 2005.

    Peter, Paul & Mary's version reached #91 on the US pop charts, the only time the song has reached the Hot 100.
  • Elvis Presley also performed the song during the USA airing of his 1973 Aloha From Hawaii via Satellite TV show. Lightfoot recalled during a 2014 Reddit AMA that it was the favorite cover of any of tunes. "I got a lot of attention on that song," he recalled. "I tried to meet him once, but Elvis had left the building. I never got to meet him, I never did, I almost got to meet him but I never got to meet the guy."
  • Gordon Lightfoot told Mojo magazine regarding Bob Dylan's cover: "I was totally blown away that he would record one of my songs in the first place. It helped my career - I'd not had a hit single myself at that point. His cover was a linchpin in that whole process because it made people in the industry aware that I was producing good songs."

    C'Mon Everybody Lyrics


    Well C'Mon Everybody and let's get together tonight
    I got some money in my jeans and I'm really gonna spend it right
    Well been a-doin' my homework all week long
    And now the house is empty and my folks have gone
    Ooo c'mon everybody

    Well my baby's number one but I'm gonna dance with three or four
    And the house'll be a-shakin' from the bare feet a-slappin' on the floor
    When you hear that music you can't sit still
    If your brother won't rock you then your sister will
    Ooo c'mon everybody

    Well we'll really have a party but we gotta put a guard outside
    If the folks come home I'm afraid they're gonna have my hide
    They'll be no more movies for a week or two
    No more runnin' round with the usual crew
    Who cares, c'mon everybody

    C'mon everybody

    Neglected Space Lyrics


    Hello
    I watch you come and go
    I know you can hear my voice
    Don't walk away
    Come daydream with me
    In closed loops and future-proof cardboard to caviar
    Let's show them how good we are
    If you look after me, I'll look after you

    Sonar, night vision or desperate lovers
    Seeking privacy for their forbidden
    I am their defenseless host
    Through my open wounds they let themselves in
    Sheltered (sheltered), they mock me (they mock me)

    If you stand up for me, I'll stand up for you

    I'm weather-beaten in a losing battle punctured by nature, becoming organic
    The air in here ages me, ungracefully!
    But if you take care of me, I will take care of you

    Oh, my crumbling heart!
    If you'll be good to me,
    I'll be good to you

    I'm amidst
    I could be the best decision you ever made, a beacon, your peaceful corner
    Find me, cherish me, take me on or pull me down
    You choose (Wait!)

    Oh, safe in the ache of soul-decay!
    'Cause I will remember you
    Will you (Remember me?)

    Bespoke to broken, this interwoven tapestry of tragedy,
    Crooked frames and cracked glazing
    Slithers of wistful window gazes glint in borrowed light

    Where doorways with no door stage a ballet of leaves,
    Who pirouette in the footsteps of once glorious days

    By peeling paint, I'm a sunken ceiling,
    I'm cracking up, and can seem threatening

    I'm falling apart

    I'm scary at night
    Take dark, forbidden
    Keep out, keep out!
    No, no, no go forth

    A has-been, a once was, the leftovers, an eyesore, bleeding, oxidising,
    A few remaining, unloved, emotionally damaged, a waste of space,
    A nuisance, I haven't had time to become, unwanted!
    What's gone? I'm losing it
    This is not what I stand for
    This is not what I stand for
    This is not what I stand for

    It was a perfectly good grand piano

    Stop in the name of love!
    I've got just what you're looking for!
    I've got tree-lined interiors,
    Where we can dine with the biosphere

    If you'll take care of me, I'll take care of you
    If you be good to me, then I'll be good to you

    I'm a story in mourning, and you're the author
    So pour out your masterpiece

    Entropy increasing, how long before I'm dust?

    Can we discuss?

    Halls of Valhalla Song Chart
  • In Norse mythology Valhalla is a giant hall, where the souls of warriors slain in battle are taken by the Valkyries. A form of heaven where they are ruled over by the god Odin, the fallen combatants spend their days fighting safe in the knowledge of never being permanently harmed.
  • Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford told the story of this song to Classic Rock Revisited : "I've written about a lot of things in my life as a lyricist and I'm always trying to go one step further and into different places.," he said. "There is a series on American TV called The Vikings. I love that. I loved going to Scandinavia and I love to check out the culture and the history of that place and the other places I visit. The Norse mythology of Scandinavia and Denmark and Sweden and some of England...I think about these things and then about four o'clock in the morning I wake up wondering what I can write about to go with this great music."

    "Out of the blue came this word, 'Valhalla,'" Halford continued. "I categorized that as a bullet word, and I realized that was my focus. I write and I write and I write. I always overwrite my lyrics. Who knew that the Metal God would be singing about being on the North Sea and heading to Denmark or Sweden searching for Valhalla? That's the great adventure that we have in Priest."
  • Other songs that reference the giant hall of Valhalla include Manowar's "Swords In The Wind," Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song (the lyric "Valhalla I am coming") and for those of a more classical bent, Richard Wagner's "The Ride Of The Valkyries."
