Herald of Darkness (Old Gods of Asgard cover) Lyrics


From what I've gathered, you grew up nice and sheltered

With mama's pretty stories and your own made up furies

And mama gave me a magic clicker

Well yes, I think it's true and fair to say

C'mon in and listen, lost words you've been missing

Of the fire you're bearing, the eye of the darkness, your light

So you were drawn to stories early on?

My dreams would light up my imagination

And you had nightmares night and day?

Yeah, but with the clicker I chased those frights away

Who knew?

So true...

So here is a clue of hope to remember

Visions, they come true, obeying the light switch too

Show me the Champion of Light

I'll show you the Herald of Darkness

Lost in a never-ending night

Diving deep to the surface, oh

And all your stories of crime and chilling thrillers

Of hardboiled killers became best-sellers

(And the award goes to... Alan Wake!)

It was all too much, I had to get away

The story's the end-all, a piece of true fiction

Made meaningless in the face of creation

But there is more to it than meets the eye

I never meant for it to ruin my life that way

Would you say you lived a jaded lie?

Dark shades could never save the day

So sad...

But true!

Fighting the nightmares, torch and a light switch

A gift or a curse? A reality made of dreams

Show me the Champion of Light

I'll show you the Herald of Darkness

Lost in a never-ending night

Diving deep to the surface, oh
