Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Child of mine I washed your face in glacier water Braided courage in your hair Named you for the coming storm I have stood Between the blade and your first footsteps Spat red earth upon the ground Swore the world would fear your name [Chorus] I am the mother of the burning shore Shield in my left hand You in my right I stand unbroken when the ravens roar I’ll be the wall in the black of night I am the mother of the burning shore Steel in my spine as the arrows fly If all the gods fall and fade from war I’ll be the last one to raise your cry (hey!) [Verse 2] Hear the drums They call the weak to turn and scatter I just tighten up my grip Trace your rune upon my skin Let them come With their banners Smoke And thunder Every step they take toward you Carves their fate into the ice [Chorus] I am the mother of the burning shore Shield in my left hand You in my right I stand unbroken when the ravens roar I’ll be the wall in the black of night I am the mother of the burning shore Steel in my spine as the arrows fly If all the gods fall and fade from war I’ll be the last one to raise your cry [Bridge] If they ask Who taught you not to tremble Say my name Let it cut through bone Every scar On your skin or on your memory I would wear it I would wear it On my own (ooh) [Chorus] I am the mother of the burning shore Shield in my left hand You in my right I stand unbroken when the ravens roar I’ll be the wall in the black of night I am the mother of the burning shore Steel in my spine as the arrows fly If all the gods fall and fade from war I’ll be the last one to raise your cry
