"Crack of doom no turning back / Burn away now all the tears / Pass the peace to those who lack / Liberate us from the fears / Of a thousand thousand years"

*Valhalla of the Slain* *Leaps the flame up bright and high* *Probing tongues to taste the sky* *Over Bifrost heroes wait* *In the halls of Asgard great* *From the battlefield below* *Kissed by maiden flame of fate* *Where their blood has soaked the snow* *To Valhalla of the slain* *There in peace the valiant know* *That their blood ran not in vain* *Slain in victory or loss* *Both refined alike from dross* *Spun from darkness into light* *Unalloyed and nothing less* *To the gold of everness* *They who fought by faith not sight* *Bore their triumph their defeat* *Both alike in mien and might* *Stood their ground with forward feet* *Bear the purity of right* *Here today no cowards burn* *See this leaping flame and learn* *Death and life are one my son* *Life is not to win nor lose* *But is never to refuse* *Death is life today begun* *That which must be must be so* *Light fears not the dark below* *March into the mouth of hell* *With a shout and drag them out* *Cowards cower in the dark* *Darklings hate what can create* *Flame enlightens strong and stark* *Darkling sons of he who fell* *Would but pervert and destroy* *By your blood Valhalla's joy* *Waits for you across the sky* *Heroes only seem to die* *Clarified by fire and pain* *Bearing torches in the rain* *Crack of doom no turning back* *Burn away now all the tears* *Pass the peace to those who lack* *Liberate us from the fears* *Of a thousand thousand years* *Leaps the flame up bright and high* *Probing tongues to taste the sky* *In the torchlight we attack* *We burn to be born again* *In Valhalla of the slain* *+Steven Curtis Lance* *Copyright MMV Silke LLC*
