Valhalla's Shore

(Prologue)

Upon the wind, a solemn horn

Cries out for those forever torn

Beneath cold stars, their stories rest

The silent oath, the final quest

Ancient runes upon the stone

Recall the names, the lost, the lone

In frostbound fields where shadows sleep

A promise sworn, a vow to keep

Verse I

Beyond the veil of northern light,

Where heroes feast in endless night,

I walk alone through shadowed halls,

Where echoes answer Odin's calls.

The golden mead, the battle's cheer,

Are hollow songs to mortal ear,

For though I dine with gods above,

My heart still mourns its mortal love.

Chorus

Through flame and frost, through night and pain

I cross the deathless fields again

The vales of hell, the storm's despair

Shall break before the love we share

Let angels weep and demons fall—

I'll brave the dark beyond it all

And when the gods close every door

I'll find her on Valhalla's shore

Post-Chorus

Ahh, ahh, Valhalla's shore

Ahh, ahh, forevermore

Verse II

She waits where mortal candles die

Beneath the fading, human sky

Her gentle voice, her trembling hand

Are lost beyond this ashen land

No glory's crown, nor trumpet's tone

Can still the ache that's all my own

For heaven's gates are cold and far

And love outshines the northern star

Pre-Chorus

Across the fire, across the stone

Her memory guides me, leads me home

Chorus

Through flame and frost, through night and pain

I cross the deathless fields again

The vales of hell, the storm's despair

Shall break before the love we share

Let angels weep and demons fall—

I'll brave the dark beyond it all

And when the gods close every door

I'll find her on Valhalla's shore

Post-Chorus

Ahh, ahh, Valhalla's shore

Ahh, ahh, forevermore

Outro

Soft falls the dusk on silent fields

Where ancient wounds at last may heal

The gods grow quiet, dawn draws near

In gentle arms, I feel her here

No sword to raise, no battles won

Our tale eternal, never done

Through endless stars, on silver tide

In love we rest, side by side

(Choir Refrain)

Ahh, ahh, forevermore

Ahh, ahh, Valhalla's shore

(Requiem)

The halls grow still, the torches low

As ancient winds begin to blow

Her hand in mine, our spirits twine

Beyond the bounds of death and time

A thousand years may ebb and flow

Yet here the endless embers glow

For every hero finds his peace

Where golden threads of longing cease

(Choral Finale)

Ahh, ahh, forever bound

Ahh, ahh, where love is found

Oooo, Valhalla's light

Oooo, endless night

(Epilogue)

If ever mortal hearts despair

Remember those who journeyed
