Valkyrie's Lament

Album Cover

​Verse

I glide forlornly over fields

Where warriors clash and fate now yields

On our whim, the battle's won

My flight balletic 'neath the sun

Detached from all the strife and pain

I choose the worthy from the slain

Upon the field where heroes sprawl

Guide those of worth to Odin's hall

​

Chorus

Bound betwixt the realms alone

To shepherd men to Odin's throne

Yearning for more Earthly ties

Amidst the raven's plaintive cries

A tempest's grace, a bond now scorned

Shunned by Valhalla where I was sworn

Yet in my heart your flame still burned

Our foolish love, forever adjourned

​

Verse

One battle stirred within my breast

A hero fought, he stood the test

I picked him out for Odin's side

But fate's cruel hand, he could not bide

Where once a void, now love's lament

Descend to choose, my heart is rent

Valhalla's gates, we should have flown

Yet I couldn't leave you there alone

​

Chorus

Bound betwixt the realms alone

To shepherd men to Odin's throne

Yearning for more Earthly ties

Amidst the raven's plaintive cries

A tempest's grace, a bond now scorned

Shunned by Valhalla where I was sworn

Yet in my heart your flame still burned

Our foolish love, forever adjourned

​

Verse

Alone with you on blood-soaked land

I build a mound with trembling hand

Cursed we became, a tale of dread

You turned a draug, by vengeance led

Until they came with stones and flame

Destroyed our rest, defiled your name

Collected up, then cursed and burned

To Hel's dark realm, your soul was turned

​

Chorus

Bound betwixt the realms alone

To shepherd men to Odin's throne

Yearning for more Earthly ties

Amidst the raven's plaintive cries

A tempest's grace, a bond now scorned

Shunned by Valhalla where I was sworn

Yet in my heart your flame still burned

Our foolish love, forever adjourned
