Valkyria
Absidia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In time of borning a Goddess war
And it might happen this storm would be endless
But gods have stopped this Hell.
You are waiting destiny
And losing all hope in life in the kin
And going through forest to be a warrior
With you
So far the venom of his words drive away.
Shout for Valkyria, sing the legend
About a russian Women warrior
Fear for Viking, the bellicose maiden,
She's waiting destiny & love.
The horrid wild & icy dust
In the time of death Valkyria's fate
And it might happened this storm is endless,
But Goddess way has stopped Her death.
And chief of tribe & warrior overcomes old Woman death & continues life.
The lyrics of Absidia's "Valkyria" describe a mythical warrior woman of Russian and Viking origin who is facing an endless storm of despair and hopelessness. The first verse portrays the chaos of the battlefield as the goddess of war is born and the possibility of an endless storm, which is then stopped by the gods. The second verse talks about the singer losing all hope and waiting for destiny while preparing to become a warrior. They are joined by their brother, who is initially bound by ties of blood but drives the venom of his words away to stand by their side. The chorus calls out to Valkyria and sings of her legendary status as a Russian and Viking warrior, while simultaneously referencing the fear felt towards her.
In the third verse, the storm returns, this time marking the death of Valkyria. The notion that the storm might be endless is repeated but is stopped by the Goddess way, indicating that the singer's faith and belief in a higher power helps them overcome the storm. The final verse portrays the chief of the tribe and warrior overcoming death to continue living. The entire song deals with themes of hopelessness, despair, and the power of faith.
