Ravens Over Red Fjords

Longship cuts the morning frost

Salt and iron on my tongue

Axes sleeping at our feet

Oaths like storm clouds on our lungs

Smoke still clings to distant farms

Wolves are howling at the prow

Old gods watching from the peaks

Can you feel them breathing now

Ravens over red fjords

Circle where our brothers fell

Raise your horn and call their names

Let it shake the ribs of hell (hey!)

Fire in our cracked shields

Blood upon the broken oars

We were born to break the storm

Ravens over red fjords

Frozen knuckles

Splintered wood

Laughing as the arrows rain

If this night becomes our grave

Carve our fury in the grain

I see home in flashes

Quick

Braids of gold and winter bread

If I never walk that shore

Let my saga walk instead (oh!)

Ravens over red fjords

Circle where our brothers fell

Raise your horn and call their names

Let it shake the ribs of hell

Fire in our cracked shields

Blood upon the broken oars

We were born to break the storm

Ravens over red fjords

If I fall

Don’t let me fade

Drag my body to the flame

Sing me loud above the waves

So the sea remembers my name

Ravens over red fjords

Circle where our brothers fell

Raise your horn and call their names

Let it shake the ribs of hell (yeah!)

Fire in our cracked shields

Blood upon the broken oars

We were born to break the storm

Ravens over red fjords
