Valkyries' Bane (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

I was born for the killing frost, forged in ash where heroes fall

Skald's ink dripped from my fingers as I watched them all

Brynhild on my shoulders whispered what no man knew:

This is not your battle — this is yours to take

I carved the runes into my sword hilt with every blade that came

The ravens in the rafters counted as each one fell

Sword-song echoing off the ice as I rose above it all

Fenrir's jaws are open, letting me step through

Chorus

Valkyries' bane — they're hunting the best

Valhalla's empty, and I am not at rest

Cold steel in my hand, a wolf in every fight

I'll outlast them all before dawn breaks light

Verse 2

Freya's favor came when they thought me done for dead

She put her fingers on the pulse of this cold war instead

Hrunting on my hip now hums with an otherworldly might

Fate has made a champion in the darkness of our right

When the battlelines run red and everyone thinks it's won

I'll be the one standing tall, where every other man is gone

Bragi's verse etched itself upon my spine as they fell

No one remembers who he was, but he's forever now — I'm his name to tell

Now Odin's ravens fly as if drawn by the same wind

That brought the Northmen marching on this blood-soaked line

Pre-Chorus

(Odin... Odur!) Let it fall apart (fall apart)

(Brynhild... Brynhild!) Hear my final heart (final heart)

Chorus

Valkyries' bane — they're hunting the best

Valhalla's empty, and I am not at rest

Cold steel in my hand, a wolf in every fight

I'll outlast them all before dawn breaks light

Bridge

(Fenrir... Fenrir!) Unleash what you keep hidden (what you keep)

(Odin... Odin!) Call the greatest hunter to your side (to your side)

No one takes this from me, not even when I fall (not even then)

Chorus

Valkyries' bane — they're hunting the best

Valhalla's empty, and I am not at rest

Cold steel in my hand, a wolf in every fight

I'll outlast them all before dawn breaks light
