Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Iron bound and the timber bends,
Where the dark sea breaks and the earth ends.
Shields up high in the freezing spray,
We carve our fate at the break of day.
Oaths recorded in the ice and stone,
Each man standing, but none alone.
Salt on our lips, ash in the sail,
We steer through the teeth of the northern gale.
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise the mast and mark the shore,
We have crossed the waves before.
[Chorus]
Hold the line when the black tide rises,
Hold the line through the wind and fire.
No crown, no grave, no god decides us,
We are the hands that lift the iron higher.
When the first light cuts the water,
When the gulls wheel over broken ground,
Call our names across the roaring,
We will answer from the battleground.
[Verse 2]
Leather creaks and the oarlocks groan,
Every heartbeat becomes a stone.
Far-off horns through the salt-white rain,
Someone waits on the other plain.
Underfoot, hear the old boards cry,
Overhead, a torn red sky.
If the sea takes the names we bear,
Let it carry our vow everywhere.
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise the mast and mark the shore,
We have crossed the waves before.
[Chorus]
Hold the line when the black tide rises,
Hold the line through the wind and fire.
No crown, no grave, no god decides us,
We are the hands that lift the iron higher.
When the first light cuts the water,
When the gulls wheel over broken ground,
Call our names across the roaring,
We will answer from the battleground.
[Bridge]
One breath, one blade, one course ahead,
One promise kept for the living and dead.
The storm may strip the mast bare,
Still we stand beneath the open air.
[Final Chorus]
Hold the line when the black tide rises,
Hold the line through the wind and fire.
No crown, no grave, no god decides us,
We are the hands that lift the iron higher.
When the first light cuts the water,
When the gulls wheel over broken ground,
Call our names across the roaring,
We will answer from the battleground.
[Outro]
Iron bound and the timber bends,
Still we sail where the earth ends.
