Surprise
Green eyes
A clarion call
She speaks my name
No fear
She’s here
My worries they all
Fade to grey
But you have got me wrong, I am not some hero
See the gun in my hand, how it’s out of ammo
She’s on her horse waiting to ride
Anticipation she can’t hide
To take me to the other side
Valkyrie
Her sight’s not right
I’m not a man
I’m a shattered vase
But she smiles
Says I’m worthwhile
Says I’m taking her hand
And we’re leaving this place
But you have got me wrong, I am not some hero
See the gun in my hand, how it’s out of ammo
She’s on her horse waiting to ride
Anticipation she can’t hide
To take me to the other side
Valkyrie
I don’t want to mess you up too
‘Cause I’m broken, I will destroy you
Can’t imagine what you see
Some kind of good inside of me
I guess I’ll let you take the lead
Valkyrie

Chorus of the Einherjar

Strīth! Andlát! Ágæti!
Strīth! Andlát! Ágæti!
You are a lion, let’s hear your roar
A silverback giant, your muscles strong
You’ve got the spirit of an einherjar
A legendary warrior
Let’s hear your story
War, death, glory
Raise your voice and sing
You’ve got the spirit of an einherjar
Let no one break you now
Fierce as a grizzly and fast as a horse
Renowned as the jötnar, your legend grows
And you’re only getting started
Your best is still yet to come
Ride out and meet your fate
Great battles still to be won
Embrace your destiny
Einherjar
A legendary warrior
Let’s hear your story
War, death, glory
Raise your voice and sing
You’ve got the spirit of an einherjar
Let no one break you
Sunder or forsake you now
You are invincible | Segja ykkarr saga, sǫngr!
You are an einherjar now
Strīth! Andlát! Ágæti!
Strīth! Andlát! Ágæti!

Pull You Down
03:11
|

|
I don’t know who you think you are
Pride pumped up like a superstar
And I don’t know where your head went wrong
But lying to my face doesn’t make you strong
And I want you to know that every word you say
Will only dig you deeper down into that grave
Every little alibi that you create
Will pull you down
It’ll pull you down
The sky is cracked where the Bifröst split
The burden of a cheater walking over it
My heart is stained by the thought of you
Breaking from our promise for a rendezvous
And I want you to know that every word you say
Will only dig you deeper down into that grave
Every little alibi that you create
Will pull you down
It’ll pull, pull you down
It’ll pull, pull you down
And I want you to know that every word you say
Will only dig you deeper down into that grave
Every little alibi that you create
Will pull you down
And I don’t want to hear another apology
Dripping with the venom of a two-time snake
When every single cover-up that you could make
Will pull you down
It’ll pull, pull you down
It’ll pull, pull you down

The Sun is at Our Backs

The sun is at our backs
The sun is in our front
Everywhere I look shadows fall apart
The sun is in my eyes
But I’m never blind
When I’m with you
We’re falling down, down, down, down, down
Singing down, down, down, down, down
But
The sun is at our backs
The sun is in our front
Everywhere I look shadows fall apart
The sun is in my eyes
But I’m never blind
When I’m with you
The sun is at our backs
The sun is in our front
Everywhere I look shadows fall apart
The sun is in my eyes
But I’m never blind
When I’m with you
The sun is in my eyes
But I’m never blind
When I’m with you
‘Cause the sun comes from your eyes

I come downtown just to feel alive
There's a kind of magic in these streets
Kicking to a beat, tripping on a high
Sipping on the ichor of this city
Sun on my skin, not a cloud in the air
Nothing on my list to do but be here
I come downtown just to energize
There's a kind of magic in these streets, yeah, and I know, I know
You can have the countryside
I'll take the concrete
Give me the city lights
'Cause I can go there every night
And there'll be something for me
There's something for me
In these streets
But I can't work it out
In these streets
I work it, work it out
Come on and move with me
And work it, work it out
Flex and just strut your feet
And work it, work it out
I used to want to run from my hometown
I took it to the west coast and made it my home now
I had a lot of drive, never cried, never broke down or took breaks
Never crashed, I never slowed down
Nothing feels better to me than all that concrete
Surrounded by palm trees with the sun shining on me
The possibilities are always feeling so endless
Might be surrounded by pavement but I was never cemented
'Cause I was so free, soul searching for purpose
Running from all of my doubts while getting lost in the circus downtown
With no shirt, no shoes, getting service
Forgetting all of my burdens waiting behind all the curtains
To get a chance just to go shine
Might take a couples L's but I know I'll be fine
In love with the process I've never been afraid to grind
I'mma keep on going 'til the city is mine, until the city is mine
Oakes
You can have the countryside
I'll take the concrete
Give me the city lights
'Cause I can go there every night
And there'll be something for me
There's something for me
In these streets
Take it to the west coast
But I can't work it out
In these streets
Take it to the west coast
I work it, work it out
Get a chance just to go shine, might take a couples L's but I know I'll be fine
Come on and move with me
Come on boy, come on and walk out, come on girl, come on and work out
And work it, work it out
Come on boy, come on and walk out, come on baby girl, come and work out
Flex and just strut your feet
Come on boy, come on and walk out, come on girl, come on and work out
And work it, work it out
I'mma keep on going 'til the city is mine, until the city is mine

You and your forced smiles
You think you're sly
Sneaking 'em by, meanwhile
I, I'm churning inside
You never shout
Never reach out, now I
I'm waiting for
The little moment when I hear your call for help
The little moment I can do something
You've got to let go
Of all the hate inside
In this life there's nothing better
You can't keep your heart closed forever
You can shout no
And you'll be safe inside
But your soul will shake its fetters
You can't keep your heart closed forever
I still remember how
You pulled that gun
Thinking you're done, shot out
But you've got another chance to
Feel content, but it depends on you
I'm gunning for
The little moment when you hear your calls for help
The little moment when you do something
You've got to let go
Of all the hate inside
In this life there's nothing better
You can't keep your heart closed forever
You can shout no
And you'll be safe inside
But your soul will shake its fetters
You can't keep your heart closed forever
You've got to let go
You've got to let go
Of all the hate inside
In this life there's nothing better
No there's nothing, no there's nothing, no there's nothing
You can't keep your heart closed forever
You can shout no
And you'll be safe inside
And you'll be safe, you'll be safe inside
But your soul will shake its fetters
You can't keep your heart closed forever
Closed forever
Gotta open
And let me in
Let me into your heart
You can't keep your heart closed forever

You and I are one of a kind
Everyone wants a piece of us for themselves
But I wouldn’t give you up for anyone, anyone else
You and I are destined to be
Aphrodionysical fantasy, it’s a dream
And when the chips are down
You’ll see me coming around
I’ve got the time to take your road
Where will you lead me, I don’t know
I want to learn your truths
And reveal mine too
‘Cause I’ve got the will to know your soul
Find out what makes you beautiful
Is that a future I see
In eyes of blue and green
You and I are leading the pack
Everyone wants the love we’ve got for themselves
But I wouldn’t give it up for anything, anything else
You and I are weather machines
Clouds evaporating to green and blue symmetry
And when the stars come out
Baby we’ll light up the town
I’ve got the time to take your road
Where will you lead me, I don’t know
I want to learn your truths
And reveal mine too
‘Cause I’ve got the will to know your soul
Find out what makes you beautiful
Is that a future I see
In eyes of blue and green
Yeah, my future is you
I’ve got the time to take your road
Where will you lead me, I don’t know
I want to learn your truths
And reveal mine too
‘Cause I’ve got the will to know your soul
Find out what makes you beautiful
Is that a future I see
In eyes of blue and green

How Angels Die
02:36

|
Breathe in
I need to get some, get some oxygen
Because my god, my god I’m panicking
I’m watching my love die, I’m watching my love die
And still I do nothing
I just sit still, meanwhile she’s clinging to life
I’ve got no power, a coward, no good in a fight
And even when I pull the trigger I shoot too late
And now I know the way that angels die
I’m a mannequin
I’m frozen, frozen as she’s struck again
Her sword is swinging but she’s staggering
She’ll never win this one, she’ll never win this one
She is my champion
My lover’s effort is Atlantean
So in the end it doesn’t mean a thing
She’s gonna lose this one, she’s gonna lose this one
And still I do nothing
I just sit still, meanwhile she’s clinging to life
I’ve got no power, a coward, no good in a fight
And even when I pull the trigger I shoot too late
And now I know the way that angels die
Yeah, I just sit still, meanwhile she’s clinging to life
I’ve got no power, a coward, no good in a fight
And even when I pull the trigger I shoot too late
And now I know the way that angels die
And now I know the way that angels die
And now I know the way that angels die

Empty

I don’t know
How long I’ve felt this way
Not overnight
But gradually’s come creeping in
Deer in the headlights
I face my challenges head on
I’m ready for a fight
But I don’t know who to punch
I kind of feel empty
But why, I don’t know
I haven’t cried because I can’t define why I feel this low
I could stitch a wound
I could bridge a break
If I could tell why I’ve fallen away
But some trapeze keeps that sight from me
And I only feel empty
Is it love
Yeah that’s been hard for me
Could be my art
I fail over and fail again
Deer in the headlights
I face my challenges head on
I’m looking for a fight
But I don’t know who to punch
I kind of feel empty
But why, I don’t know
I haven’t cried because I can’t define why I feel this low
I could stitch a wound
I could bridge a break
If I could tell why I’ve fallen away
But some trapeze keeps that sight from me
And I only feel empty
Some barricade always blocks my way
And I only feel empty
Guide me, teach me, show me, hold me
Love me, want me, fix me, break me
Devastate me just so I can feel something, feel something
I’ll take loss but not a draw
Lend me passion, strip me raw
I’d take it all and thirst for more
Just to feel something
Let me feel something

Rísa, valkyrja
Þú est réttr, valkyrja
Nú rísa
Nú rísa
Staa
I was the boy in the plummeting cage
To burst on the ground
Collision, that vision, it was my escape
From a life with no sound
But when the bullet bit me
It wasn’t what woke me up
That was your voice, singing melodies
Of something beyond a life that you’d cut short by choice
Look at the journey we’ve been on
Somewhere on this road I fell in love
But here at the end where we have it all
I want to say
I need to say
If it meant we’d be where we are right now I’d do it again
If it meant we’d be where we are right now I’d do it again
If it meant we’d be where we are right now I’d do it again
Let’s do it again, let’s do it again
Let’s do it, let’s do it again
Strīth! Andlát! Ágæti!
Strīth! Andlát! Ágæti!
Ykkarr saga, sǫngr!
I know I should thank you for bringing me back to life
By going through the old route
But I’m not the girl I was last night
‘Cause even though you took my immortality
I discovered something better along the way
And I know that it’s selfish of a valkyrie
But I am staying down
In these streets
I worked it, worked it out
I’m in love
My heart is open
You taught me that
My soul is waiting
Your other half
The sun is in our eyes
But we both stare right back
We’re ready for a fight
To take the road we want to track
We’ve got the time now to be us
We’ve got the room now to lift off
We’ve got the will now to share a life
So let me give you everything
All that I am and all that I bring
The sun at our backs, a beautiful scene
A future made of blue and green
Ást! Alla! Ævi!
Ást! Alla! Ævi!
Yeah, my future is you
Ást!
