[Verse 1]
I met you by the iron gate
Hands full of blood and rain
You wore a crown of broken light
And said my name like a flame
Your kiss was a warning sign
Your touch was a drawn blade
I was already yours
Before the battle came
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the horns are calling
And my chest is shaking
If I fall tonight
You know I’m not forsaking
[Chorus]
Take me up
Take me home
Valkyries, don’t leave me alone
Take me up
Through the fire
Love and war in the same desire
Valhalla, Valhalla
(Valhalla, Valhalla)
[Verse 2]
We rode through the ash and stone
Under a bruised red sky
Your laughter cut through steel
Like you could make death lie
I saw your spear in the dark
I saw my heart in your hands
If the world burns down around us
We’ll still make our stand
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the wind is rising
And the night is breaking
If you call my soul
You know I’ll keep on waking
[Chorus]
Take me up
Take me home
Valkyries, don’t leave me alone
Take me up
Through the fire
Love and war in the same desire
Valhalla, Valhalla
(Valhalla, Valhalla)
[Bridge]
If this is the last road
Then let it be ours
Let the black sky split open
Let it pour down stars
I won’t beg for mercy
I won’t back away
I’d die in your arms
Just to live one more day
[Chorus]
Take me up
Take me home
Valkyries, don’t leave me alone
Take me up
Through the fire
Love and war in the same desire
Valhalla, Valhalla
(Valhalla, Valhalla)
