You aren't a ghost following in my wake
You're the shield that holds when the mountains quake
A queen of the forest, a wolf in the fray
We march to the rhythm of the iron-grey
Equality carved in the runes we bare
The weight of the world is a weight we share
The ravens are watching from the ancient tree
I look at you and I see me
No step behind, no soul to leave
Together we plant the warriors seed
Gold in the fire, silver in the stone
Two halves of a heart making the circle whole
When the shields clash loud and the arrows fly
I got your back beneath the Northern sky
Through the thunder and the rain, through the mud and the strife
You are my Shield Maid, the breath of my life
And if we fall where the cold winds blow
Together to Valhalla we will go
They talk of the berserkers, the rage and the heat
But a man is a fool if his heart's incomplete
I honour your strength, I honour your name
In the halls of our home we are one and the same
When the line breaks thin and the danger is near
You're the silence of steel, the end of my fear
A bond forged in iron and a love beyond breath
We walk through Valley of the Shadow of death
My back bone, my brother, my lover, my light
The fiercest star in the darkest night
Gold in the fire, silver in the stone
Two halves of a heart making the circle whole
When the shields clash loud and the arrows fly
I got your back beneath the Northern sky
Through the thunder and the rain, through the mud and the strife
You are my Shield Maid, the breath of my life
And if we fall where the cold winds blow
Together to Valhalla we will go
I will never retreat, I will never look back
I'm the lightning that strikes in the middle of the pack
If you bleed, I bleed, if you stand, I stand
The fate of the Gods is held in our hand
Until the halls of gold
Side by side 'til Valhalla
