Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You kneel to the cross,
I call on the old gods.
Your prayer is white stone,
mine is pine and blood.
We carve different names,
in the same hard wood.
Same mother’s hands,
same winter hunger.
[Pre-Chorus]
When the wolves come near,
we do not ask why.
When spears find the dark,
we stand side by side.
[Chorus]
Brother, I will come
(come)
Brother, I will come
When the ash is high,
I’ll hold the line for you.
Brother, I will bleed
(bleed)
Brother, I will bleed
Your faith, my faith too,
won’t break this bond in two.
[Verse 2]
You wear your cross
over mail and scars.
I wear Thor’s storm
in my clenched-up jaw.
But when the raid horn cries,
and the shields all shake,
your hand finds mine first
in the snow and smoke.
[Pre-Chorus]
Let the priests speak,
let the old trees groan.
We have one duty
to bring each other home.
[Chorus]
Brother, I will come
(come)
Brother, I will come
When the ash is high,
I’ll hold the line for you.
Brother, I will bleed
(bleed)
Brother, I will bleed
Your faith, my faith too,
won’t break this bond in two.
[Bridge]
If Odin takes the field,
if your Christ takes the sea,
we’ll still share one fire,
we’ll still share one shield.
Not by the same sky,
but by the same hand,
I will drag you back
if you cannot stand.
[Final Chorus]
Brother, I will come
(come)
Brother, I will come
When the ash is high,
I’ll hold the line for you.
Brother, I will bleed
(bleed)
Brother, I will bleed
Your faith, my faith too,
won’t break this bond in two.
Brother, I will stay
(stay)
Brother, I will stay
Till the last breath leaves,
I’ll fight the world for you.
