Valkyries Above

The clouds hang heavy in the air - The air it smells like rain

I lie here waiting - Fever dreams - A shelter from the pain

Not long ago I was alive - A man so full of dreams

Now soon the dark will fall on me and death will set me free

I have no fear - In limbo trapped - My life so far beyond

My mind so blank - My heart so cold - Yes - Soon I will be gone

No hymns of praise - No words of grief - Alone in hell I'll die

No light to guide - No help in sight - I see no valkyries fly

Are the valkyries above us

The battlefields lies cold and dead - I hear no screams or sound

I see them move - I see them run - To fight another round

Is there still hope - I don't believe - Just sadness black within

A wasted life - A wasted fate - I hear no valkyries sing

Are there valkyries above us - Don't see their shadows fly

Comrades fall - Yet all is mute - We poor will count the cost

Valhalla waits just for the pure - No valkyries above us

The songs we sang - The lords we hailed - The words we thought were true

All meaningless - just utter lies - They led us to our doom

Many die and many bleed - The clouds bleed heaven dry

A vision comes - The last I see before my inner eye

A frozen stare - A manic grin - Unburied in the frost

The valkyries ride and leave me here to rot - Yes - I am lost
