Shield Maiden

You fight in this life like a Valkyrie,                    
I see your indominable spirit,                                      
but I know there's fear in your heart,                                      
of memories unforgiven,
sins numbered one by one,                                                                           
believing you are all alone,                                      
fighting demons on your own,                                      
bringing grace and defiance to a battle,                                      
that's been lost many times before.                                      
Tiring you seek for Valhalla                                  
to lay down the sword                                                     
Stay                                      
on this earthly plain,                                      
that I might fight by your side                                      
in this endless war for love,                                      
but love                                        
can be such an empty word,                                      
meaningless until we draw our swords  
entering the battle hand in hand                                      
so if you should fall,    
I will fall with you                                              
let us fight one last time                          
for love
