Out there - someone is dying, among the twisted trees 
She's walked too long, then she crawled - on badly bruised knees 
Along this stretch cracked skulls lie - death on every face
Reminding us, that hell dwells in this dark place

Shadows with no sound
Drive her to the ground
Awaits her fate at
Valhalla's cruel gate 
Can you see her, hear her, look at the state she's in
Can you see her, feel her, just look at the state she's in

He grips the wheel - too tight, bony knuckles white
Staring out into the night, headlights burn so bright
Wishing he was somewhere else, not driving in the dark
As black crows fly high above, waiting to make their mark

A tortured lost soul
For whom the bell tolls
There's no debate at
Valhalla's cruel gate 
Can you see her, hear her, look at the state she's in
Can you see her, feel her, just look at the state she's in

He pulls over, when he sees her lying by the road
She whispers a song, not too long, no one could ever forebode
He feels her breath  - leave her, now he's standing alone
Now he must leave her, whereabouts unknown

Death she cannot cheat
On that dark street
Laying in wait at  
Valhalla's cruel gate 
Can you see her, hear her, look at the state she's in
Can you see her, feel her, just look at the state she's in
Can you see her, heal her, just look at the state she's in
