Valhalla's Hall Holds His Forgiven Heart
Valhalla's Hall Holds His Forgiven Heart
Fallen warrior, his dreams exist no more
just a lone grave in a circle of trees
Great victories, only he kept the score
better had life given him calmer seas.
Across the field shields lay broken and stained
remnants of big clashes harder than stones
Old relics and tales all that remained
his grave now empty, war dogs stole his bones.
Night-winds blow on his lonely resting place
fate's reward for heart fallen and so true
His life, a savage trek with no disgrace
paradise found, even if overdue.
Death is but a storm that has blown apart.
Valhalla's hall holds his forgiven heart.
