Digital Valkyrie

Lyrics

[Intro]
Cold glass, iron sky,
Static snow falls through my eyes.
Circuits thread the carved runes bright,
Neon aurora bleeds over ice.

[Verse 1]
I woke in a vault of lightless chrome,
Heartbeat soldered to a metronome.
Ghosts of thunder coded in my bones,
Wing frames folded, steel-gray tones.
Runes cut deep along the carbon seam,
Fill with fire like an ancient dream.
Silence humming, cold and wide,
I am the blade on the data-tide.

[Pre-Chorus]
Pulse… two clicks… then thunder comes,
War drums hidden in the RAM of drums.
Names in frost on a shattered screen,
Mouths of the fallen I’ve never seen.
I hear them calling through the static choir,
“Will you carry us home, through wire?”

[Chorus]
Rise — Digital Valkyrie, carry me through the wire,
Cut through the burning sky, lift us from the fire.
Chrome wings open, scars like stars, higher—
Rise — Digital Valkyrie, carry me through the wire.
I won’t be the reaper for a kingdom made of ash,
I choose the living, not the harvest’s grasp.
Rise — Digital Valkyrie, carry me through the wire.

[Verse 2]
My visor paints the snow with code,
Neon blood in the cracks of the road.
Resurrected echoes circle my head,
Not for taking—I guard their breath instead.
War-ink circuitry threads through runes,
Old-world oath beneath machine-moons.
I descend where the cold flames climb,
To tear the lost from a dying line.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Pulse becomes a drum I own,
Human thunder in a copper throne.
I taste the salt of a buried sea,
Hear the violin wake inside of me.
Ravens made of pixels wheel and cry,
“Not tonight—no more shall die.”

[Chorus]
Rise — Digital Valkyrie, carry me through the wire,
Cut through the burning sky, lift us from the fire.
Chrome wings open, scars like stars, higher—
Rise — Digital Valkyrie, carry me through the wire.
I won’t be the reaper for a kingdom made of ash,
I choose the living, not the harvest’s grasp.
Rise — Digital Valkyrie, carry me through the wire.

[Build]
Heart to kick, breath to click—sync the veins to the grid,
Hands of winter on my shoulders, I refuse what they bid.
Ritual sparks on the steel of my palms,
Rings of data like old-world psalms.
Chant low under thundered tires:
[Chant: hey! hey! hey! hey!]
I’m the one who steals back fires.

[Drop]
[Violin screams through stormed bass — Nordic melody over growling half-time, war-stomp choir under, chrome wings ignite in the surge]
[Chant: hey! hey! HEY! — hey! hey! HEY!]
Rise—rise—rise—(bow cuts like light through wire)

[Bridge]
Strip me down to bone and string,
Piano snow, a single wing.
If I was forged to ferry night,
I’ll bend the code toward morning light.
Lay down the scythe the circuits made,
Lift up the shield my hands once stayed.
In the hush between the ticks of time,
I hear my name in human time.

[Violin Solo]
[Solo electric fiddle — raw D minor lament to battle-hymn, glacial to blazing, the bow whispering then roaring like a northern wind]

[Final Chorus]
Rise — Digital Valkyrie, carry me through the wire,
Cut through the burning sky, lift us from the fire.
Neon aurora crowns our scars, higher—
Rise — Digital Valkyrie, carry me through the wire.
I will not number bodies for a ledger in the dark,
I’ll light the runes inside their hearts, a living spark.
Rise — Digital Valkyrie, carry me through the wire.
Carry the breathing, shield the weak, defy the pyre—
Rise — Digital Valkyrie, carry me through the wire.
(Bring them home, bring them home, set the sky on fire)
Rise — Digital Valkyrie, carry me through the wire.

[Final Drop]
[Full war engine ignites — taiko + live drums + distorted guitar drive, electric violin leads the anthem, male chant choir stomps beneath]
[Chant: hey! hey! HEY! — hey! hey! HEY!]
Rise—rise—rise—(bow carves the storm; chrome wings blazing)

[Outro]
Static fades to a living drum,
Snow to ash, then spring to come.
A single pulse, no longer hired—
I walk the earth, unrewired.
