Waiting
I lie here
On this blood soaked field
Of battle
Waiting
No life remains
No breath sighs
No heart beats
I am waiting
I know they come
The wind from their
Steeds’ wings
Stirs my hair
My clothes
I am waiting
Sure I will be next
To know the touch
The rise
To join the feast
To be lifted for the flight
Of final victory
Yet I am waiting
The Valkyries come for my
Fallen comrades
Each one brave
Each one found
Still I lie
Waiting
The Gods do not come
All chosen
All but me
Even Hel has forgotten
I lie here
Waiting
I scream within
My desperate pleas
I lived with honor!
I fought with fury!
I died with courage!
No heads turn
To me
The warrior left to lie
Waiting
