[Verse 1]
Braids tight
Steel on my spine
Smoke from the fields
Salt on the brine
Crows spin
Over our hall
I was raised by winter
I don’t flinch at the call
[Chorus]
I am the queen of the frozen shore
Blood on my hands and I still want more
Fighting
Surviving
I answer the horn
Married to the king but a warrior born
Oh-oh
Queen of the frozen shore
[Verse 2]
Scar down
The length of my hip
Gift from a raid
When the oars lost grip
He wears
Iron and gold
I wear the stories
That never were told
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register
Almost spoken]
I kissed him in armor
Ash in his hair
Swore on the fjord
That I’d always be there
[whispered vocals]
If he falls in battle
I rise in his place
Shield on my shoulder
Warpaint on my face
[crescendo]
[Chorus]
