The Valkyrie

from The SP EP by Jess Silk

lyrics

There's a second sun in the sky today; a portal to another place
That's altogether more familiar to me
As I come across your broken form, in the dark, on the floor
I cry out dispute everything that I've seen

I know I'm not a hallucination, a figment of your imagination
I can understand why you might be scared
They took you to another dimension, know it was never my intention
To leave you there

Take me by the hand, I'll lead you from this broken land
This battlefield that you can't stand upon
When they throw you to the lions I’ll be there to start the fires
I’ll show you how to run again

Well I’m stuck inside this labyrinth, in truth I’m trying not to think
I’m searching and low to find you
Running through these endless streets, suffering unnatural heat
They could be watching all that I do
You've spent your times constructing walls, terrified to hear their calls
When they come to pull your bones apart
You’re anchored to our other world, the detective and the girl
With our corrupted hearts

Take me by the hand, I'll lead you from this broken land
This battlefield that you can't stand upon
When they throw you to the lions I’ll be there to start the fires
I’ll show you how to run again

Take me by the hand, I'll lead you from this broken land
This battlefield your life has now become
When they throw you to the lions I’ll be there to start the fires
I’ll show you how to run again

Take me by the hand, lead me from this broken land
This battlefield that I can’t stand to see
We stand and fight the lions, both together side by side
The way it’s meant to be
I become the Valkyrie

Jess Silk is a guitarist, singer and songwriter from the Black Country. Her shouty but melodic brand of folk/punk music often has her being likened to a female Frank Turner or Billy Bragg, and it gets people sitting up and listening. Armed only with an increasingly sticker-covered acoustic guitar and a distinctive, gravely voice that many don’t expect, Jess plays to audiences up and down the UK. ... more
