[Verse 1]
He wears the sun on his ring
I wear the cross on my chest
He pours out mead for the old gods
I fold my hands and rest
Different prayers in the rafters
Same cold wind at our door
Same cracked boots by the threshold
Same old floor
[Pre-Chorus]
When the midnight comes creeping in
And the world feels thin
I know your hand
I know where I begin
[Chorus]
Blood and bread, we stand
Blood and bread, hand in hand
You pray your way, I pray mine
Still I call you brother every time
Blood and bread, we stand
Through the fire, through the land
One house, two roads
Still we hold
[Verse 2]
You traced a rune in the dust
I traced a sign in the air
We laughed at the same hard winter
Split the last smoked hare
You tell me of giants and thunder
I tell you of grace and the Son
But when the axe met the dark wood
We swung as one
[Pre-Chorus]
If the night gets sharp and long
And the wolves come near
We don't bend apart
We just draw near
[Chorus]
Blood and bread, we stand
Blood and bread, hand in hand
You pray your way, I pray mine
Still I call you brother every time
Blood and bread, we stand
Through the fire, through the land
One house, two roads
Still we hold
[Bridge]
Let the doubters count our names
Let them try to split the flame
One heart in a fractured world
Still beats the same
If your road leads to the altar
If my road leads to the grove
We both know where we are going
Side by side we go
[Final Chorus]
Blood and bread, we stand
Blood and bread, hand in hand
You pray your way, I pray mine
Still I call you brother every time
Blood and bread, we stand
Through the fire, through the land
One house, two roads
Still we hold
Blood and bread, we stand
Blood and bread, hand in hand
One name for the bond we share
Brotherhood is living there
