The Valkyrie

I'm the Valkyrie...

Odin's female deity

I see the world

Through the eyes of a gnome,
A woman,
A spirit,
A soul... unbounded
Free
Immortal, I carry the souls of true heroes
Slain in the battle
And take them to Valhalla

But where have all the heroes gone?

Sing a song of heroism
And I'll listen...

Sing the tune of life
I'll sing along

And dance...
On the wings of wind
On the lap of waves

But no one sings the song of life
And heroism anymore
I just drag my feet on the ground
Wandering aimlessly...
Where have all the heroes gone?

Maybe I'm not dead yet

Driving through an invisible road
Where darkness lights the highway
We leave a trail of diamonds
On a road that never ends

Is there a jungle alongside?
Not when I open my eyes

Now I hear the sea
But there are no seas in this city
So is that seven thousand snakes hissing?
Or is that the angel sighing
As all the butterflies are dying.

We're on a ferris wheel
Spinning in the wrong direction
Now everything is very still.

I see his eyes. Bloodshot red
When he talks, he is droning
Or is that the engine moaning?
No, that's a mother mourning

The graveyard is cold and ancient

Very quiet we stay
Very still we lay
The soil on our tombstone is wet
I hear the funeral drum
Or is it my heart beat?
Maybe I'm not dead yet....
