Intro - Deep Horns & Nordic Drums]
Cold wind riding on the northern tides,
Shadows falling where the grey wolf hides.
[Verse 1]
Iron bound and the timber bends,
Where the dark sea breaks and the earth ends.
Shields up high in the freezing spray,
We carve our fate at the break of day.
Oaths recorded in the ice and stone,
We sail the mist into the dark unknown.
[Chorus]
Rise from the ash, stand through the gale!
By the thunder's call, we set our sail!
No fear in the heart, no retreat in the eye,
Under northern lights where the brave don't die!
[Verse 2]
Oars strike deep in the churning black,
No turning home, there is no path back.
Blades aligned under stormy skies,
Where the ravens fly and the tempest cries.
Honor bought in the heavy fray,
Memories forged that will never fade.
[Bridge - Build with Fast Percussion]
Stand fast! Hold the line!
Through the frost, through the length of time!
Blood on the iron, fire in the air,
Answer the call that the wind will bear!
[Chorus]
Rise from the ash, stand through the gale!
By the thunder's call, we set our sail!
No fear in the heart, no retreat in the eye,
Under northern lights where the brave don't die!
[Outro - Fading Drums & Wind]
The horns fade out in the distant snow...
Only the echo remains below.
