about

Starting as a song about the battlefield, about looking after comrades and brothers and sisters in arms – a haunting and sad melody about being left on the battlefield.. forgotten in battle...

But as the tune developed in the Heilege Krabbe (The Holy Crab) Tavern Valeria intruded upon the song, and a counter melody emerged – and she stole Vollsanger’s heart…

She walked like a dancer – she stood like a Queen

lyrics

Counting them out - Counting them in
You know where they are - you know where they've been
But it's a shame - really a sin
If you don't count them out - you can't count them in

Before the battle - as you step on the field
Your blood it is racing - no quarter no yield
Surrounded by comrades - each axe, sword or shield
You know some will fall - they'll die if not healed..

So I'm counting them out....

Out in the darkness, you know you must go
You may take it careful - you may take it slow
You may charge in fearless, the red mist aglow
You may tread in silence - with nary a blow...

But I'm counting..

She stood at the window
There were Shadows within
The flicker of firelight
Tattooing her skin
So Still and so Silent
Her gaze far away
If I close my eyes tightly
I can see her today...

Love is a battle - you know you must go
You may take it careful - you may take it slow
You may charge in fearless, the red mist a-glow
You may tread in silence - with nary a blow...

She sat at the table
Her head in her hands
Her gaze it was distant
Far places far lands
But her smile it was gentle
She saw through it all
A band of bright scarlet
O'er her eyes pierced my soul

But I'm counting..

She walked like a dancer
She stood like a Queen
With Fur at her shoulders
So lithe and so lean
Stark Elven features
A haughty disdain
Brings me back to the Crabbe
Again and again..
