Lightning flashed across my midnight sky
A Valkyrie with flowing hair
My heart was pounding, I blinked my eye
But no, she still was there

She took possession of my soul
I knew I was lost right then
What did she want, what was her goal?
It was beyond my mortal ken

I was to ride her windy horse
This puny human, a wreck of a man
I asked her why, she said, of course
“It is because you can”

I doubted I would stay on board
the horse bucked, but I clung to her back
The future is what we rode toward
Around us lightning cracked

We rode and rode, a never-ending trail
Our steed twisted and I stuck
I heard the fates scream and wail
“Keep riding, she's your luck”

Some paths taken, were all wrong
Many times we lost the track
But though the trail has been so long
I still look fondly back

The path is so much smoother now
and we ride slower, this is true
I must let you know somehow
I was saved because of you

You're still my Valkyrie, my love
I still ride upon your windy horse
I thank the gods that sent you from above
I love you, yes, of course!
