This is the death of love And the love of the dead Born and we're fucked Fuck to be bred It's like a palindrome Going on in my head I'm not sure I understand it yet God is a dog Such a loyal friend Satan nat as We're dying again Who gives a fuck It's not good to dwell There's death on my clothes It leaves such a smell And that's why I believe When I hold on tight Yeah, I'll surely break it That's why I believe That the threat of loss Is hard to take in That's why I believe That all your heroes Will only hurt you And that's why I believe When I hide away It's because I have to I feel like a model But I don't know my role A packed out theatre With no kind of show A magazine, poster Billboard, a tattoo Those wordless icons You all bow down to They say that our pictures Speak a thousand words But I haven't found one That makes my voice heard My zipped up mouth Leaving all words forgotten There's death on my clothes And it's smelling rotten And that's why I believe When I hold on tight I will surely break it That's why I believe That the threat of loss It's hard to take in That's why I believe That all your heroes Will only hurt you And that's why I believe When I hide away It's because I have to And that's why I believe When I hold on tight Yeah, I'll surely break it That's why I believe That the threat of loss It's hard to take in That's why I believe That all your heroes Will only hurt you And that's why I believe When I hide away It's because I have to

She enters the scene with her large entourage Black suits, black hearts and long black cars Looks like a funeral, with the power of birth You'd never know she was covered in scars Temperatures hotter than her homemade molotovs My heart is on fire, so much greater than love Nothing else matters, we've all come so far Our time has Kombat, maligned as the stars Kings and Queens! Kombat Sings Her words are weaved, With a tone that stings No time for questions, We all knew why Everyone could hear our battle cry The aristocrats, the rich elite All become humbled, the world at our feet The cracks in the pavement, The democratic lie Today we all realised, we're prepared to die Kings and Queens! Kombat Sings Her words are weaved, With our hopes and dreams No time for questions, We all knew why Everyone could hear our battle cry The aristocrats, the rich elite All become humbled, the world at our feet The cracks in the pavement, The democratic lie Today we all realised, we're prepared to die In the heat of the moment, where'd we all go wrong? When we're raised as lambs but grow into wolves? Right now it didn't matter, how we got here, where we're from Never back down as the tear gas swallows In the heat of the moment, where'd we all go wrong? When we're raised as lambs but grow into wolves? The loudest sound, isn't the atom bomb But the sounds you remember, the screams that follow Kings and Queens! Kombat Sings Her words are weaved, With a tone that stings No time for questions, We all knew why Everyone could hear our battle cry The aristocrats, the rich elite All become humbled, the world at our feet The cracks in the pavement, The democratic lie Today we all realised, we're prepared to die Kings and Queens! Kombat Sings Her words are weaved, With our hopes and dreams No time for questions, We all knew why Everyone could hear our battle cry The aristocrats, the rich elite All become humbled, the world at our feet The cracks in the pavement, The democratic lie Today we all realised, we're prepared to die

Ok, hi there friend I think I probably should say Since you came into my life I think the darkness went away Things aren't always great for me But now I start to feel alright I feel like sharing everything I love to waste your precious time And now we're considered underground Because the heavy sun is too bright There's a weight on our shoulders But we're keen to stay alive We know we cannot make a change If we don't continue on Remember every dent you make Is another battle won We're into a situation where I feel like I should hide Its a dog eat dog world But you're still here by my side I feel a little sick To think I could have died But now I'm feeling oh so warm I've gained a strength I feel inside And now we're considered underground Because the heavy sun is too bright There's a weight on our shoulders But we're keen to stay alive We know we cannot make a change If we don't continue on Remember every dent you make Is another battle won And now we're considered underground The nocturnal and night owls There's a weight on our shoulders But they know we won't back down We know we cannot make a change If we don't continue on Remember every dent you make Is another war that's won And now we're considered underground Because the heavy sun is too bright There's a weight on our shoulders But we're keen to stay alive We know we cannot make a change If we don't continue on Remember every dent you make Is another battle won

Too long women have been held back Now is the time to make attack We are the Valkyries Thrilled to kill My friends are real We are the Valkyries The higher power Has let us flower We are he Valkyries Fulfilling the needs For hearts to bleed We are the Valkyries I always thought I was made to lose But the higher power Has shown the truth As long as I live You cannot die Now I can do What you want me to Too long women have been held back Now is the time to make attack We are the Valkyries Thrilled to kill My friends are real We are the Valkyries The higher power Has let us flower We are he Valkyries Fulfilling the needs For hearts to bleed We are the Valkyries I learnt it quick I learnt to fight This is the only way To make things right Alina and Gween Gave me advice My past was nice But my future is knife Too long women have been held back Now is the time to make attack We are the Valkyries Thrilled to kill My pain is real We are the Valkyries The higher power Has let us flower We are he Valkyries Fulfilling the needs For hearts to bleed We are the Valkyries We are the Valkyries We are the Valkyries

The warp is woven With warriors' guts And heavily weighted With the heads of men Spears serve as heddle rods Splattered with blood We will beat with swords Our battle web Polly sets to weaving And Sound Eater And Alina And Gween With swords drawn Shafts will splinter Shields shatter The dogs of helmets Devours shields We wind and wind The web of spears Which the young king Has carried on before Let us go forth Amongst the fighters When our dear ones Deal out blows We wind and wind The web of spiders There where the banners Of bold women go forth We must not let Their lives be lost Valkyries decide Who lives or dies The women who inhabited The outer headlands Will now be leaders In the lands I declare the mighty king Doomed to death The earls have fallen In the face of spears And the patriach will Endure an evil time Which will never lesson As long as men will live Now the web is woven And the war-place reddened The lands will learn Of the loss of men Now it is gruesome To gaze around As blood-red clouds Cover the sky The heavens will be garish With the gore of men While the slaughter-wardens Sing their song May he who listens Learn from this The tones of spear-women And tell them to men Let us ride swiftly On our saddle-less horses Hence from here With swords in hand The women then pulled down the cloth and tore it to pieces, And each of them kept the piece she was holding in her hand.
