Echoes of the North

[Verse]
The frost-bitten wind howls
Sharp and wide
Under the ash tree
Where shadows bide
A raven’s wing cuts the sky in twain
Oaths are whispered
Bound in pain
[Chorus]
Echoes of the North
They rise and fall
Through the fjords
The cliffs
The hall
Odin’s eye
It watches still
Through ice
Through fire
Through blood we will
[Verse 2]
Sails are torn
But the sea’s our kin
The longboats creak with tales of sin
Thor’s hammer strikes where the thunder's torn
Under the moon
The wolf is born
[Prechorus]
The runes they carve
A fate so deep
The gods
They wake
From ancient sleep
[Chorus]
Echoes of the North
They rise and fall
Through the fjords
The cliffs
The hall
Odin’s eye
It watches still
Through ice
Through fire
Through blood we will
[Bridge]
Skalds sing of Freyja’s weeping gold
Of Loki’s lies
Of warriors bold
The mead flows thick
The stories grow
In Valhalla’s light
Our spirits glow
