lyrics

Hey Freyja
(© 2000 Walter Ehresman)

Freyja, those dead heroes at your side;
Sacrifice to you,
and even still my well runs dry;
We all tied our hopes to you,
forgot the blank look in your eye.

Hey, Freyja, does it ever bring you down?:
The sacred things to you
cannot exist in one go-round;
The riptide contradictions
tearing all your temples down.

[chorus]
Oh.........
Hey Freyja.......
