[Intro]
[slow build, crowd chanting]
Ho!
Ho!
Ho!
Ho!
[Verse 1 – Viking]
Big beard, big roar, longboat dripped in frost
You got dust on your boots, I got runes in the moss
You sing campfire tunes, I sing war in the storm
I’ve been raiding whole coasts while you’re herding your corn
I drink thunder from a horn, let it crash in my chest
You just polish that buckle tryna shine like the best
I got wolves on my shield, you got cows on your land
You say “reach for the sky,” I say “fall where you stand”
[Chorus]
Axes and spurs, who’s louder tonight?
You talk about grit, I’ve lived through the fight
From the cold, from the dust, two worlds collide
Axes and spurs
Ride or die, we ride
[Verse 2 – Cowboy]
Listen here, fur coat, you just loud and lost
You need ten of your buddies just to get a coin toss
I ride solo, sunburn on my neck like a crown
You only feel brave when your crew’s around
You call it “raid,” I call it takin’ from the weak
I built towns, you burned ‘em then you called it mystique
I got calloused hands, scars from years in the field
You got stories in a saga ‘cause you fell, couldn’t yield
[Pre-Chorus]
[drums build, both trading]
[Viking] You a scarecrow in a hat, all straw, no soul
[Cowboy] You a costume in a play, all shout, no control
[Viking] I was carved for the cold, I was raised by the waves
[Cowboy] I was baked by the blaze, I was cut by the sage
[Chorus]
Axes and spurs, who’s louder tonight?
You talk about grit, I’ve lived through the fight
From the cold, from the dust, two worlds collide
Axes and spurs
Ride or die, we ride
[Bridge – Viking vs Cowboy]
[Viking]
I hear hooves in the dark?
That your posse in leather?
Cowboy choir tryna sing?
This is stormbringer weather
I’ve got helms, I’ve got hides, I’ve got thunder in my lungs (hey!)
You got tin-star pride and a dry little tongue
[Cowboy]
You got ships made of splinters, I got trails made of stone
You got kings that collapse, I got land of my own
You keep praying to the sky for a sign, for a call
I just tighten that rope, stand tall, don’t fall
[Final Chorus – Both]
Axes and spurs, who’s louder tonight?
From the fjord to the range, we’re ready to bite
From the cold, from the dust, two worlds collide
Axes and spurs
Ride or die, we ride
[Outro – Battle Charge]
[guitars double-time, drums gallop]
Cowboys holler, hats down low
Horses surge in a storm-kicked row
Hooves pound earth like a rolling drum
Spurs flash fire as the front lines come
[Viking gang chant]
Ho!
Ho!
Shields up, steel sky-high
Longboats roar from the shore, we fly
[Both – shout]
Steel versus leather, storm versus sun
We crash in the middle
Two legends, one run
