Valkyrie's Lament
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
