[Intro]
Back from the dead like we never left
Ancient blood in my veins, that’s a family crest (yeah)
Put respect on the name when you say it, bless
If you come for one of us, better bring your best
[Verse 1]
Walk in, whole room get cold, that’s Klaus in the doorway
Paint stained shirt, cracked smile, that’s warplay
Eyes on the throne, got a plan for the whole day
But touch my kin, I’ma turn it to a warzone, okay
Elijah with the cufflinks, clean as a confession
Suit sharp, mind sharper, every word a weapon
Calm voice, but the code is protection
You break one rule, that’s a death sentence, no question
Kol with the grin like trouble on tap
Dice in his hand, ace up in the back
Playful, lethal, coin flip snap
One joke, two jokes, then the whole place black
Finn in the shadows, old wounds in his bones
Long time gone, but he still feels home
Even when he’s distant, even when he roams
Blood calls blood, and it pulls him back strong (yeah)
[Chorus]
Always and forever, that’s the law we wrote
Carved in the walls and the words we spoke
Fight with each other but we ride as one
If you bleed one brother, then the war just begun
Always and forever, say the vow out loud
Brothers in the fire, still we stand too proud
Hate us, fear us, run from what we’ve done
But we stand in the ruin till the rising sun (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Long road, from the forests to the brick-built streets
Every promise that we broke, every ghost we meet
We got scars that a thousand years can’t bleach
But the bond underneath, yeah, that’s out of reach
We argue, we shatter, we burn, we betray
Stab in the back, then we still say “stay”
You can tear down the house, we’ll rebuild in a day
Put the matches in our hands, we’ll light our own way
See, the world keeps calling us monsters and myths
But a monster still loves, still bleeds, still drifts
We lose, we learn, we fall, we lift
Turn pain into power, that’s a family gift (ooh)
If I turn my back, I know who’s there
When the whole town prays that we disappear
Four silhouettes in a smoky mirror
Every time I look close, they get clearer
[Chorus]
Always and forever, that’s the law we wrote
Carved in the walls and the words we spoke
Fight with each other but we ride as one
If you bleed one brother, then the war just begun
Always and forever, say the vow out loud
Brothers in the fire, still we stand too proud
Hate us, fear us, run from what we’ve done
But we stand in the ruin till the rising sun (yeah)
[Bridge]
Raise your glass to the broken crown
To the battles that we lost but we still stood ground (still here)
To the nights on the run, to the cities we found
To the brothers that I’d die for again right now (right now)
[Chorus]
Always and forever, that’s the law we wrote
Carved in the walls and the words we spoke
Fight with each other but we ride as one
If you bleed one brother, then the war just begun
Always and forever, say the vow out loud
Brothers in the fire, still we stand too proud
Hate us, fear us, run from what we’ve done
But we stand in the ruin till the rising sun
