Carry Me Home

I see her eyes in the firelight
Hear my boy laugh in the hall
Small hands gripping wooden swords
Pretending he's ten feet tall

I taught him how to stand his ground
How to rise when broken bones
But I will not be there tomorrow
So guards he walks this road alone

The Odin keeper of the slain
Ride my saga in the smoke
But hear a father's final plea
Spoken through a shattered cloak

If a Valkyrie comes on wings of white
Let her wait just one heartbeat more
Let me speak their names once more
Before I cross that door

I will feast, I will fight again
When the final horn is blown
But watch my wife, watch my son
When I am gone

When I am gone

Thor, hear me
Breaker of mountains, father of thunder
Pour your strength into my son's bones
Let his hands be steady
Let his heart be fierce and kind

When storms rise, let him rise with them
When the world strikes, let him stand

Hammer to sky, hammer to blood
Hammer to bone and breathe and flood
What I was, make him more
When I can't fight no more

Now I feel the hands of mine
Steel and pain begin to fade
Valkyrie, lift me from this field
I am ready, unafraid

Tell the gods I died a man
Tell my son I stood my ground
And from Valhalla's burning gates
I will guard them

I will guard them
I will guard them

From the Sun
Evermore
Ravens fly
Evermore

Our father's love outlives us all
Evermore
Our father's love outlives us all
Evermore
