To battle I will lead
My warriors back home
I know my love awaits
For me to take my throne
The victory march
I must take alone
Fighting for myself
Is all I have known
The battles I could have won
You are fighting in my name
Knowing all too well that the dead
Will rise again in my hall of fame
Nine realms I have searched
For a love like stories told
And every time that you leave
I am left with tears of gold
I gave my heart to you
But then you went away
I wander these woods
The path takes me astray
The pain of missing you
Is more than I can bear
The silence breaks
By cries of my despair
The battles I could have won
You are fighting in my name
Knowing all too well that the dead
Will rise again in my hall of fame
Nine realms I have searched
For a love like stories told
And every time that you leave
I am left with tears of gold
I've given you all my years and all my grace
But you left me without a trace
No matter how high I hold the flag of victory
I've learnt that loneliness is the cost of being free
Battles I could have won
You're fighting in my name
Nine realms I have searched
I am left with tears of gold
The battles I could have won
You are fighting in my name
Knowing all too well that the dead
Will rise again in my hall of fame
Nine realms I have searched
For a love like stories told
And every time that you leave
I am left with tears of gold
