🛡️⚔️ THE WATCHMAN OF VALHALLA ⚔️🛡️

THE WATCHMAN OF VALHALLA

Intro

Another song at the gate

Another face to inspect

Another voice to measure

Verse 1

The Watchman of Valhalla

kept a ledger by the door

Every newcomer got questioned

like a hundred came before

"Who taught you?"

"Who allowed you?"

"How many winters did you bleed?"

As if the hall was built for proving

not for giving people seats

He spoke of sacred music

like he owned the ancient flame

But every time the benches filled

he started counting names

Too many cups on the table

Too many songs in the air

Too many people arriving

without asking if he cared

Pre-Chorus

Some men guard a doorway

Some men feed the room

Some men call it wisdom

when they only bring a rule

Hook

The Watchman of Valhalla

counting scars and counting songs

The Watchman of Valhalla

telling strangers they belong

or don't belong

He calls the feast a problem

when the hall gets loud and strong

The Watchman of Valhalla

hears a threat in every song

Verse 2

The Watchman loved old battles

he could name them one by one

Every road he'd ever walked

every war he said he won

If someone brought a new sound

he would hold it to the light

Not to hear what it carried

but to prove it wasn't right

He said the room was falling

when the room began to grow

Said too many hands were building

what he used to call his own

He blessed his own reflection

with a golden holy frame

Then called another maker false

for daring to create

Pre-Chorus

Some men build a table

Some men count the chairs

Some men fear abundance

when the feast no longer theirs

Hook

The Watchman of Valhalla

counting scars and counting songs

The Watchman of Valhalla

telling strangers they belong

or don't belong

He calls the feast a problem

when the hall gets loud and strong

The Watchman of Valhalla

hears a threat in every song

Bridge

The Watchman loved the sound of wisdom

when the wisdom came from him

Every road that led elsewhere

he swore was growing thin

Asked a hundred men their story

told a thousand of his own

And somehow every conversation

ended at his throne

Ended at his throne

Final Hook

The Watchman of Valhalla

counting scars and counting songs

The Watchman of Valhalla

telling strangers they belong

or don't belong

He calls the feast a problem

when the hall gets loud and strong

The Watchman of Valhalla

hears a threat in every song

Outro

The hall was standing long before him

The hall will stand when he is gone

No gatekeeper can own the fire

No crown can stop the song

The cups are full

The benches hold

The voices carry on

Valhalla was never his to grant

It opens when we sing
