No bitching just wanna hear your screams“(crowd cheers) “ I can’t fucking hear you” ( loud roaring cheer) “Your fucking getting better” as A Valkyrie I Ride!” [Intro] (Wind… distant war horns… pounding drums…) [Spoken Word – Kate] “The world cries out for those who cannot fight for themselves… Tonight… I answer the call.” (Band crashes in.) ⸻ [Verse 1] Across the frozen northern sky Aurora burns where ravens fly My armor forged in winter’s flame Every helpless soul calls out my name From mountain peaks to stormy seas I hear their whispered desperate pleas Where darkness rises, I appear To face the monsters without fear ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Raise your sword against the night Stand your ground and join the fight ⸻ [Chorus – As a Valkyrie I Ride] (Crowd sings chorus) As a Valkyrie I ride! On winged steed Yourkal through the sky With the Spear of Foreshadowing held high Justice is my battle cry “Raise the fucking roof people “ As a Valkyrie I ride! No innocent will stand alone The wicked tremble at my side Through heaven’s storm… As a Valkyrie I ride! ⸻ [Verse 2] I shield the daughters of the earth Every life has endless worth Against the hatred, fear, and lies I’ll meet them looking in the eyes They laugh before the battle’s begun Certain they have already won But when my spear begins to shine Their fate has already crossed the line ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] The future whispers in the wind Some battles end before they begin ⸻ [Chorus – As a Valkyrie I Ride] As a Valkyrie I ride! On winged steed Yourkal through the sky With the Spear of Foreshadowing held high Justice is my battle cry As a Valkyrie I ride! No innocent will stand alone The wicked tremble at my side Through heaven’s storm… As a Valkyrie I ride! ⸻ [Twin Guitar Solo] (First guitar: soaring melodic lead. Second guitar: harmonized response. Builds into a fast, galloping finale.) ⸻ [Bridge] I have seen tomorrow’s page Before the battle leaves the stage You mocked the signs… ignored the warning… He didn’t see that coming. The spear was cast before he knew The future pierced him straight and true Every shadow leaves a trace Every lie must meet its fate ⸻ [Final Chorus – As a Valkyrie I Ride] As a Valkyrie I ride! Across the skies with wings spread wide Yourkal carries me through fire and ice Never asking for the price As a Valkyrie I ride! The Spear of Foreshadowing lights the way When evil thinks it’s safe to hide It learns too late… He didn’t see that coming… As a Valkyrie… I RIDE! ⸻ [Outro] (Galloping drums… harmonized twin guitars… gang vocals chanting:) “Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride!” (Ends with one massive sustained power chord. “ Damn it you guys are fucking wild “
