[Verse 1]
East wind came with iron teeth
Black tide crossed the pale sea
My banners shook on the riverbank
My сынs fell fast in the mud and smoke
I heard the shields split clean in two
I saw my wolf-helms dragged through snow
[Pre-Chorus]
But I keep count
Of every scar
I learn the blade
I learn the plan
[Chorus]
Rise, rise, west king rise
Break their wall with a colder mind
Rise, rise, west king rise
Win by war and win by time
Rise, rise, west king rise
( Rise, rise, west king rise )
[Verse 2]
Their king wears gold like a winter sun
His riders move like a storm on the plains
I send a feast to the wrong gate
I send a name where a knife should go
I burn one bridge, I spare one road
Let them chase smoke and empty oars
[Pre-Chorus]
I do not swing
At every throat
I bend the trap
I bend the fate
[Chorus]
Rise, rise, west king rise
Break their wall with a colder mind
Rise, rise, west king rise
Win by war and win by time
Rise, rise, west king rise
( Rise, rise, west king rise )
[Bridge]
Hear my oath on the anvil stone
I was not born to kneel in ash
I’ll turn their pride against their pride
I’ll make their numbers feed the night
[Final Chorus]
Rise, rise, west king rise
Break their wall with a colder mind
Rise, rise, west king rise
Win by war and win by time
Rise, rise, west king rise
The east will learn my name tonight
Rise, rise, west king rise
( Rise, rise, west king rise )
