“Weh! Weh!
Süssestes Weib!
Du traurigste aller Getreuen!
Gegen dich wütet
in Waffen die Welt:
und ich, dem du einzig vertraut,
für den du ihr einzig getrotzt,
mit meinem Schutz
nicht soll ich dich schirmen,
die Kühne verraten im Kampf?
Ha, Schande ihm,
der das Schwert mir schuf,
beschied er mir Schimpf für Sieg!
Muss ich denn fallen,
nicht fahr' ich nach Walhall:
Hella halte mich fest!”
- Richard Wagner, Die Walküre
Arturo Toscanini conducts Richard Wagner's 'Ride of the Valkyries', 1948.
A modern horror film about the potential and fear of the space age styled like a 1950s B-horror movie, in which we discover the Perseids are actually a form of alien invasion. It turns out a small race of aliens living just outside the solar system associate earth with their version of Valhalla, and the Perseids are the annual sending of their greatest warriors into the afterlife. Scientists all over the world freak out, as they had no idea we were so close to aliens and never realized it.
saying "if everything goes well..." 5/10 boring and vague and shows your lack of desire to get into the things that could go bad
saying "if everything goes according to plan..." 10/10 mysterious and cool and exciting and makes people think "haha that phrase is being used in real life instead of fiction how funny" and then they laugh
saying "if everything goes accordion to plan..." 7/10 people ask too many questions. 10000/10 if you use it before pulling an accordion from behind you and launching into Ride of the Valkyries
Hjoggum vér með hjörvi.
Hitt vas æ fyr löngu,
at grafvitnis morði.
Hjoggum vér með hjörvi.
Hafa gátu þá rafnar
œrna bráð at slíta.
Hjoggum vér með hjörvi.
Hörð kom ríð á skjöldu,
Hjoggum vér með hjörvi.
Hitt sýnisk mér raunar,
at forlögum fylgjum,
fár gengr of sköp norna.
Fýsumk hins at hætta,
heim bjóða mér dísir,
hefr Óðinn mér sendar.
Glaðr skalk öl með ásum
í öndvegi drekka,
lífs eru liðnar stundr,
læjandi skalk deyja.
Hjoggum vér með hjörvi.
Drekkum bjór af bragði
ór bjúgviðum hausa;
sýtira drengr við dauða
Hjoggum vér með hjörvi.
grimt stendr grand af naðri,
sonum mínum man svella
sinn föður ráðinn verða;
Fýsumk hins at hætta,
heim bjóða mér dísir,
hefr Óðinn mér sendar.
Glaðr skalk öl með ásum
í öndvegi drekka,
lífs eru liðnar stundr,
læjandi skalk deyja.

We swung our sword hard.
That was ever so long ago,
to slay the dig-wulf.
We swung our sword hard.
The sea got ravens
who suddenly break by.
We swung our sword hard.
Hard came riders onto shields,
We swung our sword hard.
It seems to me truly,
that we follow fate,
few avoid the destiny of the norns.
We now wish to end,
home I invite the dísir,
which Odin sendt me.
Glad shall I drink ale with the æsir
in excellence I will drink,
lifes moments are passing,
laughing shall I die.
We swung our sword hard.
Soon we will drink beer
of deep horns;
a warrior moans not at death
We swung our sword hard.
fierce stands that grand serpent
my sons will rise high
their fathers advice befalls:
We now wish to end,
home I invite dísir,
which Odin sendt me.
Glad shall I drink ale with æsir
in excellence I will drink,
lifes moment are passing,
laughing shall I die.

Metropolitan Opera Orchestra – Wagner: Ride of the Valkyries - Ring (Official Video)
I haven't seen anyone say this before, so I might be imagining it, but I think Classic Builds from the Loki Score by Natalie Holt is based of Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries it sounds almost exactly the same, like someone took Ride of the Valkyries and made it into a more dramatic movie score.
