[Verse 1]
Ash on my tongue
Black in the snow
My hall is a grave
Where the warm winds go
No wolf in the yard
No smoke in the sky
Only broken shields
And a child’s last cry
[Pre-Chorus]
I knelt in the ruin
I bit through the pain
I took what was left
And I learned their names
One by one
I carved them deep
Now the dead wake up
When I cannot sleep
[Chorus]
Colder than my heart (colder than my heart)
I carry the spark
Colder than my heart
I will tear them apart
Hear my oath
Hear my roar
I was a man
Now I’m war
[Verse 2]
I crossed the fjord
With a split-beam blade
Their tracks in the mud
And the blood they made
I found their fire
I found their feast
I found my rage
At the edge of the beast
Every gate I break
Every lie they built
I bring the winter
And I bring the guilt
[Pre-Chorus]
I knelt in the ruin
I bit through the pain
I took what was left
And I learned their names
One by one
I carved them deep
Now the dead wake up
When I cannot sleep
[Chorus]
Colder than my heart (colder than my heart)
I carry the spark
Colder than my heart
I will tear them apart
Hear my oath
Hear my roar
I was a man
Now I’m war
[Bridge]
One last ember
Under my ribs
One last home
That the dark now ribs
I don’t ask mercy
I don’t ask why
I only ask
Who will die?
[Final Chorus]
Colder than my heart (colder than my heart)
I carry the spark
Colder than my heart
I will tear them apart
Hear my oath
Hear my roar
I was a man
Now I’m war
Colder than my heart (colder than my heart)
No peace left to start
Colder than my heart
Till their kingdom falls apart
