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
