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
