Lady of the Slain

Wanton wager
On a war torn way
Take my treasure
For another day
Fettered felines and a battle swine
Feast like there’s no future now, showing no restraint
Mead and mayhem, golden drink divine
Let me in your heathen hall, lady of the slain
Tears of red gold she cries
Tales have her realm far beyond the skies
And if a battle was your demise
May come the night when you see she cries
Tears of red gold
Pain and pleasure
My reality
Life of leisure
Or a fantasy
Burning beauty hung above her breast
Moments in her company, high and holy pain
Flaming fairness, I will find no rest
Until I have reached your hall, lady of the slain
Tears of red gold she cries
Tales have her realm far beyond the skies
And if a battle was your demise
May come the night when you see she cries
Tears of red gold
