Where the Shieldmaiden fell

Lyrics:

She fell beneath the crimson sky
Her blade still warm, her breath ran dry
They called her name into the air
And left her soul to linger there

The wind still speaks in tones she knew
The fire rose, but never through

Where the shieldmaiden fell
The wolves remember well
Her vow was carved in silence
Her tale no bard could tell
She sang with eyes wide open
She stood where none would mourn
But still her voice is rising
From the ground where she was born

They wrapped her bones in linen black
And placed her helm upon the rack
The ravens watched, the forest wept
And still the ancient rhythm crept

The wind still speaks in tones she knew
The fire rose, but never through

Where the shieldmaiden fell
The wolves remember well
Her vow was carved in silence
Her tale no bard could tell
She sang with eyes wide open
She stood where none would mourn
But still her voice is rising
From the ground where she was born

No grave, no stone, no final cry
Just smoke beneath a northern sky
She sang what none recall or tell
The shieldmaiden… she hears it well

Where the shieldmaiden fell
The wolves remember well
Her vow was carved in silence
Her tale no bard could tell
She sang with eyes wide open
She stood where none would mourn
But still her voice is rising
From the ground where she was born

She hears it all…
She hears it all…
