[Intro]
[drums and claps building]
Ho!
Ho!
Ho!
[Verse 1]
Boots in the frost
Iron on wool
We were born in the borderlands
Raised by the pull of the fjord
Smoke on the hill
Salt on our tongues
Every story our fathers told
Burns in the breath of our lungs
[Chorus]
Northern fire
Golden sky
We rise
We rise
Shouting ancient names in the wind
Till the echoes reply
Raise your hearts
Raise your cry
We rise
We rise
From the stone and the storm
To the northern fire
Golden sky
[Verse 2]
Ale on the boards
Maps on the wall
Every river a road we swore
Someday our hands would recall
Laugh through the fear
Laugh through the scars
We are louder than thunderheads
Brighter than fields of stars (hey!)
[Chorus]
Northern fire
Golden sky
We rise
We rise
Shouting ancient names in the wind
Till the echoes reply
Raise your hearts
Raise your cry
We rise
We rise
From the stone and the storm
To the northern fire
Golden sky
[Bridge]
Ho! Ho!
Sing it for the ones gone under
Ho! Ho!
Sing it for the hearts outnumbered
Ho! Ho!
Every shadow feeds the wonder
We don’t break
We don’t break (oh no)
[Chorus]
Northern fire
Golden sky
We rise
We rise
Shouting ancient names in the wind
Till the echoes reply
Raise your hearts
Raise your cry
We rise
We rise
From the stone and the storm
To the northern fire
Golden sky
