[Verse 1]
Boot prints burned in the battlefield mud
Ragnar walks where the quiet once was
Scarred-up shield
Cracked like old bone
Helm full of dents from the skulls he's thrown
Blood on the blade
He don't wipe it clean
Names on a list that he'll never read
He laughs when they ask what he's fighting for
“Point me at something I can break some more”
[Chorus]
Ragnar the Unbroken
Seen much
Killed many
Eyes stay open
Every swing
A shattered prayer
You hear his name
He's already there (already there)
Ragnar the Unbroken
War drums pound in the words he's spoken
When he roars
The brave lose breath
Big as a mountain
Married to death
[Verse 2]
Chains on his wrists from a raid gone wrong
Snapped like twigs when the rage came on
Steel can't hold that storm inside
He chews through fear
Turns the tide
He don't chant
He don't plead or beg
He just charges straight for the softest neck
Armor folds like paper plates
Tonight the gods can count what he takes
[Chorus]
Ragnar the Unbroken
Seen much
Killed many
Eyes stay open
Every swing
A shattered prayer
You hear his name
He's already there (oh yeah)
Ragnar the Unbroken
War drums pound in the words he's spoken
When he roars
The brave lose breath
Big as a mountain
Married to death
[Bridge]
How many ghosts in his shadow now?
How many crowns on the trampled ground?
He only grins when the odds go bad
That's the closest thing to calm he has (hey!)
[Chorus]
Ragnar the Unbroken
Seen much
Killed many
Eyes stay open
Every swing
A shattered prayer
You hear his name
He's already there
Ragnar the Unbroken
War drums pound in the words he's spoken
When he roars
The brave lose breath
Big as a mountain
Married to death
