Valkyries Above

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.
