[Intro]
Oath in the frost
Steel in the throat
Raise up, brothers
[Verse 1]
The fjord is black tonight
But our names are carved in bone
Boots on the frozen ground
We march where fear won't go
Axes on our shoulders
Blood-red cloth in the wind
We came from hard, hard winters
Now let the battle begin
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the shields collide
Hear the old gods call
Stand with me, stand tall
Or fall
[Chorus]
Raise the raven banner
Raise it high, raise it high
Rally the heroes now
We ride, we ride
Raise the raven banner
Let the thunder answer
Hearts like iron fire
Tonight we rise
[Verse 2]
The wolf pack at the gate
We don't blink, we don't bow
Salt on our broken hands
We are the storm right now
Brother, lock your shoulder
Keep your eyes on the line
If death comes for our country
Then death will find us fighting
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the shields collide
Hear the old gods call
Stand with me, stand tall
Or fall
[Chorus]
Raise the raven banner
Raise it high, raise it high
Rally the heroes now
We ride, we ride
Raise the raven banner
Let the thunder answer
Hearts like iron fire
Tonight we rise
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
One oath
One blade
One flame in the dark
One name
One hall
One war-torn heart
[Final Chorus]
Raise the raven banner
Raise it high, raise it high
Rally the heroes now
We ride, we ride
Raise the raven banner
Let the thunder answer
Hearts like iron fire
Tonight we rise
Raise the raven banner
(raise it high)
Rally the heroes now
(we ride, we ride)
