Valhalla

By D.C. Young

Lord let me die a hero on the battlefield today,
where I’ll await the Valkarie to carry me away.

They’ll take me to Valhalla where I’ll join the Gods of war,
those Gods with names like Sigmund, Odin, Loki, Cain and Thor.

We’ll then prepare for Ragnarok…the destiny of Gods,
to fight in one last battle against overwhelming odds.

While in defense of our great cause we’ll fight until the end,
but most of us will not survive and never fight again.

I pray that then the Valkarie…the choosers of the slain,
will take me from that battlefield and bring me home again.

Return me to Valhalla where immortal I will be,
residing with the Gods of war throughout eternity.
