Nichole: I'm not usually a fan of remixes, but I enjoy all of the Valkyrie edits on this album. The other tracks on it are a pleasure to listen to, as well!

Olivier: This single is so different from earlier work, I still have to get used to it

Valkyrie

The definition of truth
Is lost in the telling
Objectively cold
To an unwilling tide
So who are you now?
Were you wounded by living?
Have you buried perspective
Screaming inside?

I see the choosers of the fallen
I see the promises they bind

God knows that I am fighting still
Each step defining who I am
God knows that fate is armed with arrows
And she watches the battlefield

And if I fall give me the strength to rise unbroken
And where I stand, the courage and will to fight...
That when I dream...
These eyes discern my purpose and believe
That should I die, self-sacrifice becomes this victory

There’s a fragment of me
In the words that I'm giving
A doorway is opened
If you listen too long
So who have you dreamed
With the power of being
Do you like who you are?
Do you like what you've done?

Valkyrie!

God knows that I am fighting still
Each step defining who I am
God knows that fate is armed with arrows
And she watches the battlefield

And if I fall give me the strength to rise unbroken (My Valkyrie)
And where I stand, the courage and will to fight...(My Valkyrie)
That when I dream...
These eyes discern my purpose and believe
That should I die, self-sacrifice becomes my Valkyrie

My Valkyrie
My Valkyrie
My Valkyrie

Valkyrie!

God knows that I am fighting still
Each step defining who I am
God knows that fate is armed with arrows
And she watches the battlefield

And if I fall give me the strength to rise unbroken (My Valkyrie)
And where I stand, the courage and will to fight... (My Valkyrie)
That when I dream...
These eyes discern my purpose and believe
That should I die, self-sacrifice becomes my Valkyrie

And if I fall give me the strength to rise unbroken (My Valkyrie)
And where I stand, the courage and will to fight... (My Valkyrie)
That when I dream...
These eyes discern my purpose and believe
That should I die, self-sacrifice becomes this victory

Anthem

Note: The following lyric is transcribed by ear, it is possible that there are errors, if you have a correction please send it our way! Or wait till the physical release in november.

Beyond the doubt and confusion
Beyond the sting of betrayal
Survives the core of a nation
Trapped in a state of denial

Do you hear the calling
A voice from deep within
The forgotten heart of an anthem
Like whispers on the wind
It calls the shameful to honor
It calls the darkness to dawn
It calls the captive with a will to be free
And the anthem marches on

There is nothing like a blind man's memory
Losing colors we used to see
I blame the smoke and the mirrors now
Living life across an endless screams
And I am sure there is no eternal
But there recession is a step away
If your mourn becomes a technicality

The only chance we have
Is chance we take (take)

The work is all that compliance
As being discarded a dream
And such silence masking liberty
They take away by degrees

But I still hear the calling
A voice from deep within
The forgotten heart of an anthem
Like whispers on the wind
It calls the shameful to honor
It calls the darkness to dawn
It calls the captive with a will to be free
And the anthem marches on

Strange Skies

Strange skies
Strange skies
The sun burns through the windows
Rising from the stones
Placed here as ancient clockwork
To mark our time alone
As order moves to chaos
So time cannot reverse
Watching from the tower spire
A finite universe
And all our burning questions
And all our greatest fears
They look to find the evidence
But they will not find it here
Strange skies
Strange skies
Science and religion
Upon each other’s thrown
Naive to thought beyond their box
They cannot stand alone
And all our burning questions
And all our greatest fears
They look to find the evidence
But they will not find it here
For all of our deepest secrets
Distilled in heartfelt prayers
Only concludes to claim as true
What consciousness may bear
Strange skies
We're living in the age of reason
I'm not convinced you understand
For all the insight in your hands (We're living in the age of reason)
I'm not convinced you comprehend
The consequence -----we are (We're living in the age of reason)
To boldly reach without support
A premise bridged on nothing more (We're living in the age of reason)
Than what you've seen
And then believe is real...
For God is not contained
God is not contained
Strange skies
God is not contained
Strange skies
Strange skies
Because a dream to quantum space
A particle to love
Cannot conclude to prove as true
What we know nothing of
And all our burning questions
And all our greatest fears
They look to find the evidence
But they will not find it here For all of our deepest secrets
Distilled in heartfelt prayers
Only concludes to claim as true
What consciousness may bear
Strange skies
We're living in the age of reason
I'm not convinced you understand
For all the insight in your hands (We're living in the age of reason)
I'm not convinced you comprehend
The consequence -----we are (We're living in the age of reason)
To boldly reach without support
A premise bridged on nothing more (We're living in the age of reason)
Than what you've seen
And then believe is real...
For God is not contained
God is not contained
We're living in the age of reason
I'm not convinced you understand
For all the insight in your hands (We're living in the age of reason)
I'm not convinced you comprehend
The consequence -----we are (We're living in the age of reason)
To boldly reach without support
A premise bridged on nothing more (We're living in the age of reason)
Than what you've seen
And then believe is real...
For God is not contained
