Horn of the North

[Intro]
[war horn blast, drums building]
Rise up
Shields high
Fire in the frostbite sky (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Boots pound, frozen ground shakes
Breath steam, every rib cage aches
Runes carved in my bare chest
Blood sings, we were built for this test
[Pre-Chorus]
Steel in our lungs, we roar as one
Thunder in time with the breaking sun
Are you ready for the storm we become? (oh!)
[Chorus]
Sound the war horn, tear the clouds
Let the valley echo loud
Raise your fists, we synchronize
One heart, one hate in our eyes
Sound the war horn, feel it burn
Every coward’s back will turn
Chain our voices, battle-cry
Tonight we live, or never die
[Verse 2]
Wolf pelts, blackened by smoke
Old scars, every line a joke
Cold wind cutting like a blade
Laugh hard, we’re never afraid
[Pre-Chorus]
Step to the front, don’t break that line
Rage in a rhythm, spine to spine
Are you ready as the sparks collide? (hey!)
[Chorus]
Sound the war horn, tear the clouds
Let the valley echo loud
Raise your fists, we synchronize
One heart, one hate in our eyes
Sound the war horn, feel it burn
Every coward’s back will turn
Chain our voices, battle-cry
Tonight we live, or never die
[Bridge]
Left, right, stomp in the snow
(ho!) (ho!)
Hear that drum in your bones
(ho!) (ho!)
Name your fear, let it go
(ho!) (ho!)
We are iron, we are stone
[Chorus]
Sound the war horn, tear the clouds
Let the valley echo loud
Raise your fists, we synchronize
One heart, one hate in our eyes
Sound the war horn, feel it burn
Every coward’s back will turn
Chain our voices, battle-cry
Tonight we live, or never die (never die)

metal, High-energy Nordic metal with galloping double-kicks, tremolo-picked melodic guitars, and massive gang shouts. Verses stay tight and rhythmic; chorus explodes with soaring lead lines and layered male vocals. Huge war-horn brass stabs and tom-heavy breaks for crowd-synchronized chants, ending on a drawn-out held note and cymbal wash.
