[Verse 1]
[M]
Snow on the shields
Blood on the pine
I was born by the fjord
With a fire in my spine
[F]
Runes in my palm
Salt in my hair
I carry the storm
Like a vow in the air
[M]
I do not bend
I do not bow
My father’s axe
Lives in me now
[F]
My mother said
“Stand like the stone”
When the long night calls
I’m coming home
[Pre-Chorus]
[M]
Hear the wolves sing
[F]
Hear the drums rise
[M]
Gold in the mead cup
[F]
Fire in our eyes
[M]
Old gods, guide me
[F]
Old gods, see
[M]
When the dark comes
[F]
Stand with me
[Chorus]
Old gods, hold us
Old gods, call us
We rise, we rise
Iron in our bones
Old gods, love us
Old gods, judge us
We run, we run
Back to the storming home
[Verse 2]
[M]
I’ve seen the ice
Split under boots
I’ve seen brave men
Speak with their wounds
[F]
I’ve seen the widows
Sing through the black
Tear on their cheeks
Sword on their back
[M]
Love is a spear
Passed hand to hand
Not a soft promise
Written in sand
[F]
Love is the feast
After the raid
Warm in the hall
Where the lost are named
[Pre-Chorus]
[M]
Hear the wolves sing
[F]
Hear the drums rise
[M]
Gold in the mead cup
[F]
Fire in our eyes
[M]
Old gods, guide me
[F]
Old gods, see
[M]
When the dark comes
[F]
Stand with me
[Chorus]
Old gods, hold us
Old gods, call us
We rise, we rise
Iron in our bones
Old gods, love us
Old gods, judge us
We run, we run
Back to the storming home
[Bridge]
[M]
If I fall, let the sea know my name
[F]
If I fall, let the fire stay flame
[M]
We are the sons of the broken rain
[F]
We are the daughters who outlast pain
[M]
No empty throne
[F]
No dead crown
[M]
We lift our hands
[F]
We won’t kneel down
[Final Chorus]
Old gods, hold us
Old gods, call us
We rise, we rise
Iron in our bones
Old gods, love us
Old gods, judge us
We run, we run
Back to the storming home
Old gods, hold us
Old gods, call us
We rise, we rise
Iron in our bones
Old gods, love us
Old gods, judge us
We run, we run
Back to the storming home
