Shadows of the Valley

Wandering aimlessly in a cold dark mist I follow

Walking in a dark world that’s been

Kissed with sadness

Without sunlight things are born

To the dead of nightmares

Soulless demons laughing in a sea of madness

Listen closely to the raven’s call

Praying hard for our world not to end

Try as might to make sense of it all

Will it be for the penance of men

Follow north for the call of the wild

Look all out for a small wayward child

Lay in fear as the dark raven crows

Look for guidance from the one who knows

He lived on this earth for a time and a half

Playing a tune to the old man’s laugh

The fear that’s inside the men of the oath

In the script of the book that he wrote

Ask them the questions

Tell them no lies

A cry for freedom

Praying that they wouldn’t die

Mind over matter

Cry over sins

Their lives are over now

Ended before they begin

As the raven again passes by

I can hear all the wake fathers cry

That the first born of all men will die

That their lives will be taken from them

Face the danger a battle of wills

Strength and courage a cure for all ills

We believe in that thou shall not kill

But others are ready to spill

The hearts of all men since beginning of time

Living with temptation

Wanting and crime

A walk in the shadow of the valley of death

Knowing I’ll take my last breath

Ask them the questions

Tell them no lies

A cry for freedom

Praying that they wouldn’t die

Mind over matter

Cry over sins

Their lives are over now

Ended before they begin

The hearts of all men since beginning of time

Living with temptation

Wanting and crime

A walk in the shadow of the valley of death

Knowing I’ll take my last breath

Ask them the questions

Tell them no lies

A cry for freedom

Praying that they wouldn’t die

Mind over matter

Cry over sins

Their lives are over now

Ended before they begin

Into the valley of death fear no evil

We will go forward no matter the cost

Into the valley of death follow me now

Bring me your souls and I’ll make it our last

Ask them the questions

Tell them no lies

A cry for freedom

Praying that they wouldn’t die

Mind over matter, cry over sins

Their lives are over now

Ended before they begin
