[Verse 1] My Village, burned to the ground The invaders took me, now I'm night bound I'm filled to the brim with anger and pain Those who made me have all been slain But a Shield Maiden I still remain It's the only thing keeping me sane For the weak, for the lost I'll protect them, no matter the cost [Pre-Chorus] In the dark of night, I remember the fright Blood loss, skin like frost As the sun rises, I stay out of sight The girl I was, forever lost [Chorus] Dark Valkyrie Cry out my name Dark Valkyrie I rose from the flame Dark Valkyrie I still defend I guard the graves I do not bend [Verse 2] I wander, I roam, after sunset Trying to find some purpose, found none yet Justice or Vengeance to whom I encounter Always appear in the darkest hour I know the pulse of steel I know the scent of fear I know the ones who kneel And those under my heel I kept my father's sword I kept my sister's prayer What made me still strikes a chord My cold heart can still care [Pre-Chorus] The ravens and crows follow, close behind I'm the Darkness, the Dread, and your End I can be cruel or I can be kind To Hel, your soul, I will send [Chorus] Dark Valkyrie Cry out my name Dark Valkyrie I rose from the flame Dark Valkyrie I still defend I guard the graves I do not bend [Bridge] If dawn comes for me Let it blind my sight I have kissed the edge I've made my peace with the night None can ever tame me No saint can save me now I was forged in dying And I wear the vow [Final Chorus] Dark Valkyrie Cry out my name Dark Valkyrie I rose from the flame Dark Valkyrie I still defend I guard the graves I do not bend Dark Valkyrie (VALKYRIE) Hear me rise Dark Valkyrie (VALKYRIE) With ocean eyes Dark Valkyrie (DARK VALKYRIE) Till the end I guard the graves I will not bend
