Valkyries Above Us

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
