[Intro]
[battle drums
Low chant building]
Blood on the bark
Breath in the frost
Names of the old ones
Carved in the moss (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Torches in the rain
Ash on my tongue
I call to the mountain
I call and it comes
Wolf-hide on my shoulders
Iron in my grin
I laugh at the thunder
I dare it to begin
[Chorus]
Ritual of the iron sky
Raise your scars
We never die
Fang and feather
Bone and cry
Ritual of the iron sky (woah)
Fire in the circle wide
Hate and hope stand side by side
Scream the vow
We’re sanctified
Ritual of the iron sky
[Verse 2]
She howls like a siren
High
Then higher still
He roars like an avalanche
Rolling down the hill
Skull-cup to the lips
Drink the burning cold
Every breath a battle
Every heartbeat bold (hey!)
[Breakdown]
[half-time
Chugs
Gang shouts]
One cut
Two cuts
Drip on the stone
Our pain
Our proof
Never alone (never alone!)
[Chorus]
Ritual of the iron sky
Raise your scars
We never die
Fang and feather
Bone and cry
Ritual of the iron sky (oh yeah)
Fire in the circle wide
Hate and hope stand side by side
Scream the vow
We’re sanctified
Ritual of the iron sky
