In Norse mythology, Valhalla (from Old Norse Valhöll "hall of the slain") is a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled over by the god Odin. Chosen by Odin, half of those who die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by valkyries, while the other half go to the goddess Freyja's field Fólkvangr. In Valhalla, the dead join the masses of those who have died in combat known as Einherjar, as well as various legendary Germanic heroes and kings, as they prepare to aid Odin during the events of Ragnarök. Before the hall stands the golden tree Glasir, and the hall's ceiling is thatched with golden shields. Various creatures live around Valhalla, such as the stag Eikþyrnir and the goat Heiðrún, both described as standing atop Valhalla and consuming the foliage of the tree Læraðr.
Valhalla is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson, Heimskringla, also written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson, and in stanzas of an anonymous 10th century poem commemorating the death of Eric Bloodaxe known as Eiríksmál as compiled in Fagrskinna. Valhalla has inspired various works of art, publication titles, popular culture references, and has become a term synonymous with a martial (or otherwise) hall of the chosen dead.

Valhalla's where I'm waiting. I watch with loving eyes from far away,
It's where I need you. In my lullabies of sorrow you remain.
Valhalla's where you're coming, cause here this burning madness had to die.
My heart screams come to me, but here I can say nothingâ¦but goodbye.
If you're just another soldier, then battle elsewhere please.
But if not tear me from this earth, and take me to your seas.
Cause it's difficult to feel now, and I ache in every bone.
A twisted fate has left us both alone.
Valhalla's where I'm waiting, my devil and my angel too.
For they are joined and show themselves through you.
You lie beneath my skin now, you wear my piece of metal close,
Just as close as I could ever come to touch you there
If you are just a soldier, then battle elsewhere please.
But if not tear me from this earth, and take me to your seas.
'Cause it's difficult to breathe now, can't you hear it in my tone?
The life in me has hardened into stone.
Until we reach Valhalla, where I'll be your dear Persephone,
Look to shallow heavens and that's where I'll be.
Here I tempt the gallows, cause there this love would be an art.
