[Verse] God, take my heart from the palm of my hand You can keep it, this body is done I’ve got no strength and my soul cannot stand Shield torn apart and my visor is gone No more will left to keep fighting in night No more light left in this hollowed world No more thoughts, they were eaten alive No pulse remains, just a chest ripped and torn God, give me mercy, forgiveness, release Let me fall from the cliffs into black Strength just to crawl to my homeland in peace And finally rest when there’s nothing to lack [Chorus] Take me, O darkness, if light never finds me If my faith is in shards and my heart doesn’t beat I scream to the heavens, but no one will hear me And ghosts of my battles will come me to meet Tear me apart or just grant me oblivion I’m tired of breathing in shadows of death If there’s even a spark, give it life or deliver it Or let me just fade in a funeral breath Storm is my name and my title is wrath Am I a hero, or only restrained By the cruel hand that has chosen my path Drifting with glory to reach for the heights Becoming the pride, or the pain of them all Falling to hell on the wings of my fights Or rising again through the blood and the fall To be someone’s light or be lost in the void Or to drown in the depths of disgrace What will the herald of curses avoid What will the godless angel now trace What kind of pattern will fate intertwine Only my sister, the Fatum, can see [Chorus] Take me, O darkness, if light never finds me If my faith is in shards and my heart doesn’t beat I scream to the heavens, but no one will hear me And ghosts of my battles will come me to meet Tear me apart or just grant me oblivion I’m tired of breathing in shadows of death If there’s even a spark, give it life or deliver it Or let me just fade in a funeral breath [Bridge] If valkyries light up the path that I wander Then these wounds are the marks of my fate I will hear how my ancestors call me from thunder Through the cold and the breath of the gray If the gods remain silent, it’s time to decide Death is close, I can feel its embrace I am ready to fall just to rise once again And reclaim my lost name from its face If I fall, let it be carved in sagas of fire If I live, like a storm I will rise And though I must burn to be born from the pyre My hand grips the sword till the end of my life [Chorus] Take me, O darkness, if light never finds me If my faith is in shards and my heart doesn’t beat I scream to the heavens, but no one will hear me And ghosts of my battles will come me to meet Tear me apart or just grant me oblivion I’m tired of breathing in shadows of death If there’s even a spark, give it life or deliver it Or let me just fade in a funeral breath
