Tears in Valhalla

In Valhalla, where warriors rest
waiting for divine command
stand again to fight in Ragnarok  
in the battle of the twilight of the gods
there a warrior weeps bitterly  
for in death he sees the face
of a lost love in ethereal grace
a maiden of his village pure
 
In Asgard's realm unearthly beauty reigns
where walls of gold adorn the walls  
and dreams like gossamer threads
reaches into the soul and sings  
of love lost and forgotten treasures  
within the core of a mortal coil
he fought with valour boldly in battles
to earn his place in the halls of the gods
 
within Asgard he weeps, his tears flow
for he will never know his love's embrace
in Valhalla's halls where heroes dwell
he longs for the smell of her hair  
the way she whispers his name
the baby boy born of their union
fate has torn them worlds apart,
leaving him a warrior with a broken heart
