Shadows of the Valley |
| Wandering aimlessly in a cold dark mist I follow |
| Walking in a dark world that’s been |
| Kissed with sadness |
| Without sunlight things are born |
| To the dead of nightmares |
| Soulless demons laughing in a sea of madness |
| Listen closely to the raven’s call |
| Praying hard for our world not to end |
| Try as might to make sense of it all |
| Will it be for the penance of men |
| Follow north for the call of the wild |
| Look all out for a small wayward child |
| Lay in fear as the dark raven crows |
| Look for guidance from the one who knows |
| He lived on this earth for a time and a half |
| Playing a tune to the old man’s laugh |
| The fear that’s inside the men of the oath |
| In the script of the book that he wrote |
| Ask them the questions |
| Tell them no lies |
| A cry for freedom |
| Praying that they wouldn’t die |
| Mind over matter |
| Cry over sins |
| Their lives are over now |
| Ended before they begin |
| As the raven again passes by |
| I can hear all the wake fathers cry |
| That the first born of all men will die |
| That their lives will be taken from them |
| Face the danger a battle of wills |
| Strength and courage a cure for all ills |
| We believe in that thou shall not kill |
| But others are ready to spill |
| The hearts of all men since beginning of time |
| Living with temptation |
| Wanting and crime |
| A walk in the shadow of the valley of death |
| Knowing I’ll take my last breath |
| Ask them the questions |
| Tell them no lies |
| A cry for freedom |
| Praying that they wouldn’t die |
| Mind over matter |
| Cry over sins |
| Their lives are over now |
| Ended before they begin |
| The hearts of all men since beginning of time |
| Living with temptation |
| Wanting and crime |
| A walk in the shadow of the valley of death |
| Knowing I’ll take my last breath |
| Ask them the questions |
| Tell them no lies |
| A cry for freedom |
| Praying that they wouldn’t die |
| Mind over matter |
| Cry over sins |
| Their lives are over now |
| Ended before they begin |
| Into the valley of death fear no evil |
| We will go forward no matter the cost |
| Into the valley of death follow me now |
| Bring me your souls and I’ll make it our last |
| Ask them the questions |
| Tell them no lies |
| A cry for freedom |
| Praying that they wouldn’t die |
| Mind over matter, cry over sins |
| Their lives are over now |
| Ended before they begin |
