The Shieldmaiden

One last time, learning to live once again After saving myself from these demons of mine I escaped my own prison as I couldn't see All my life I was carried away with the stream After losing myself in the dead of the night Away with the stream The dead of the night Stormy is the wind that we walked, weeping our tales Memories of a dawn burned up too late Through the stars we'll rise again Bringing our fire over the land Standing proud until the end Hurt me, I'll bleed It won't break my will I'm not afraid of this fighting As long as I breathe Walking on the fields Holding my shield so they all can see The lightning that shines over me Out of mind, out of soul Far away from the places I know Far away from the people I always believed in And I'll never see once again I'm the daughter of hatred and snow I was raised by the storm and I'm living To serve my own pride
