Valkyrie

I lay down my head and I dreamed of you
I’ve fought to remember the whole day through
The dream that smiles today, then, tomorrow dies
Sets me to longing then away it flies
Angel of woe standing by my side
I go where you go for to you I’m tied
I’ve tried to go home but you’ve led me astray
Though in my dreaming I may find a way

Backlit by the rising sun
Armor ablaze
Golden hair and eyes of blue
A sword at her side
I can only stand and stare in amazement
So bright is her light

I’ve come now to tell you of fate and a foe you know
The battles are over and won but you can’t let it go
You’ve clung to a memory of doom and cried out for war
You’ve clung to this murderous fiend to whom you’ve now swore
But know him for this he has served only evil, and evil he is to the core
To the very core

Angel of light what brings you here
The deeps of my heart are not for you
The view from here is not all it’s cracked up to be
As you can see

Always he is ravenous and all his deeds are dire
He’ll use you for a time and then just throw you to the fire
Soldier can you see him now, he’ll be the death of you
You fought the gods of pain and death
Slew all that crossed your path
Your heart was tried and tested true
In battle and in wrath
What came next was never meant to be
Can you not see?

To the very core
Armor ablaze
Golden hair and eyes of blue
To the very core
For goodness she was to the very core
