Valkyries in the Sky Lyrics – All for Metal

[Verse 1]
They are fierce and beautiful
Every swordsman knows their name
Maidens sent by Odings will
To be choosers of the slain
Take us down
And further down the line
As we fight

[Pre-Chorus]
Sure I don’t have to see them to know they are there
I feel the tension a movement in the air

[Chorus]
Watch out! Valkyries in the sky!
Watch out! They hear your battle cry!
They’re coming for those who fought bravely and died
Guiding their souls to Valhalla tonight
Watch out! Valkyries in the sky!
Watch out! You’re gonna take a ride!

[Verse 2]
High above the battlefield
Silhouettes against the sky
Legends tell they can foresee
Who gets killed and who survives
They come down
To where the heroes fight
Side by side

[Pre-Chorus]
We are holding our ground and it won’t be in vain
Lead us to glory, through agony and pain

[Chorus]
Watch out! Valkyries in the sky!
Watch out! They hear your battle cry!
They’re coming for those who fought nravely and died
Guiding their souls to Valhalla tonight
Watch out! Valkyries in the sky!
Watch out! You’re gonna take a ride!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Watch out! Valkyries in the sky!
Watch out! They hear your battle cry!
They’re coming for those who fought bravely and died
Guiding their souls to Valhalla tonight
Watch out! Valkyries in the sky!
Watch out! You’re gonna take a ride!
