[instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Lay still, brave daughter, your time is near The frost has kissed your breath so clear The iron in your wounds runs deep And yet you smile—refuse to weep The ground is cracked with gods’ applause You’ve held the line without a pause But mortal flesh must break and bend And all true sagas have their end [Pre-Chorus] So hush thy heart, let go thy fear The drums of Asgard thunder near [Chorus] Die not in sorrow, but in flame For the halls shall chant your name! No longer shieldmaid, nor mere kin— Valhalla crowns thee Queen within! Your death is written in divine breath A gift, a throne beyond this death! [instrumental break] [Verse 2] The Norns have spun your crimson thread A path that only queens may tread The mead is poured, the torches high The Einherjar shall raise your cry Not every soul earns wings in flight But you, O sister, burn so bright Your scars shall gleam in golden halls Where even kings shall heed your calls [instrumental break] [Pre-Chorus] So do not flinch, do not despair For glory waits in star-forged air [Chorus] Die not in sorrow, but in flame For the halls shall chant your name! No longer shieldmaid, nor mere kin— Valhalla crowns thee Queen within! Your death is written in divine breath A gift, a throne beyond this death! [instrumental break] [Bridge – Spoken, Over War Drums] You fought not to survive, But to be remembered. And remembered you shall be— Not as one who fell, But as she who rose Above the ashes of Midgard. [Final Chorus – Slower, Triumphant] Die not in sorrow, but in flame For the halls shall chant your name! The ravens call, your fate is sealed— The Queen of Valhalla now revealed! [Outro] So close your eyes, O war-born flame For death is not the end—but claim. With sword in hand and soul alight, Ride now, my Queen, into the night.
