Valhalla for the Broken

I wore your name like a blade at my side;

A vow in the dark, a place to hide;

You smile like dawn, then turn to stone;

Left me to bleed in a kingdom of your own;

Now the fire in me will not kneel;

I'll learn the truth beneath the steel;

You made a ghost of what I knew;

And I will never crawl back to you;

I rise like thunder, I burn like rain,

I break;

These chains and I know my name;

No crown, no prayer, no lie to save;

The heart you stole will dig its grave;

I leave you in the cold alone;

I am my own Valhalla home;

I gave you my trust like a sacred vow;

You wore it thin then shattered it now;

Every promise fell;

Like ash to black;

You never left, you only held me back;

Now the fire in me will not kneel;

I earned the truth beneath;

The steel you made a ghost of what

I knew;

And I will never crawl back to you;

I rise like thunder, I burn like rain;

I wake these chains and

I know my name;

No crown, no prayer, no lie to save the heart you stole;

No, they'll dig its grave;

I'll leave you in the cold alone;

I am my own Valhalla home;

Let the shadows take your hollow plea;

I am the storm you could not see;

No backward glance, no final fight;

I walk away into the night;

What you broke will now defend;

A warrior heart you could not bear;

My rise like thunder, I burn like rain;

I break these chains and

I know my name;

Ain't no crown, no prayer, no lie to save;

The heart you stole will dig its grave;

I'll leave you in the cold alone;

I am my own Valhalla home;

I leave you and far behind;

With broken trust and sharpened mind;

I am the dark you cannot own;
