The Valley Down Below

From the Legendary UnderWorld Contest
 
"Layin here, Drinkin wine;
Lookin at the world through half open eyes,
Living life, misunderstanding all I see,
From the halls of the hammer into the[/font] mouth of madness[/font], "
 
I went down, to the valley down below, where my father is waiting,
Let her go, Let her go, my Love, God Bless her soul,  
Yes I went down, to where the souls are ruined, an many, left crying for a day,
Let my loved ones go, let them go, God Bless them; God bless their soul;
For they will never find another son, of the House, of Rising Sun, like me
Just one more battle for my sword, one more battle for my soul,
Come you, mother and son, Come and weep for me,
Dying of sickness because my love has left me,  
My past glory is now forgotten, fighting for a way of life, an faith,  
But taking my life, has left this Northman, Straight for Hells gates,  
Down, to Niflheim, Let Hel consume me,  
She over sees her kingdom, in hate and in remorse,
She is Down cast ugly and fierce Lord,  
Her Flesh half dead, half pail, black, sour and gloom,  
Her eyes burn through my soul, like a flaming sword never satisfied,
Looking beyond her fiery ice world underworld mansion,  
For more poor heartbroken, sick drunken mothers sons, fools to take from glory an song,
My soul endlessly wonders, an has no time for hope or laughter,  
Where her Gates, are so high, strong, cold and built of the dead,  
The Thresholds a stumbling block, and dishes made of hunger,  
Await a Northman who dies not in battle, No songs of glory of my name sung,
But who goes down into the valley below, No honor, no glory found,
For those serving down in the valley below
