I walked beneath a golden sky
Believing every whispered lie
A kingdom built within my mind
A dream too beautiful to find
The faces smiled
The voices sang
Yet hidden knives behind them rang
The world I knew began to fade
And truth emerged from every blade
The higher that I used to fly
The harder came the fall from high
The gods were silent in the storm
As illusions lost their form
Beyond the gates of Helheim
I wandered all alone
Through shattered dreams and broken bones
Far away from home
Beyond the gates of Helheim
Where every shadow calls
I searched for strength within the dark
After I had lost it all
The battlefield became my fate
Steel and sorrow intertwined my days
Many battles came and went
Leaving scars where hope had been
Brothers fallen in the snow
Names the cold winds still recall
And when my final shield was torn
I felt a different war be born
Not against a sword or spear
But every doubt and every fear
The greatest battle I would face
Was staring at my own disgrace
