[Verse 1]
Snow on the ворот,
boots in the mud.
Old iron hanging
cold in my blood.
Your name on my tongue
like a sharpened vow,
I held that fire
and I hold it now.
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the wolves answer
over the hill.
I was born in the ash
but I stand still.
[Chorus]
We sing the winter oath
(oh, oh, oh)
We burn through the frost
(oh, oh, oh)
No chain on my throat
No fear in my bones
We sing the winter oath
[Verse 2]
Black bread on the table,
salt on the knife.
Mother put steel
in the bones of my life.
Balalaika crying
through the broken door,
every hard step
makes the ground want more.
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the wolves answer
over the hill.
I was born in the ash
but I stand still.
[Chorus]
We sing the winter oath
(oh, oh, oh)
We burn through the frost
(oh, oh, oh)
No chain on my throat
No fear in my bones
We sing the winter oath
[Bridge]
Kneel for the thunder,
kneel for the flame,
I know the dark
and I know my name.
Choir of the fallen,
rise with me now
We do not break
We do not bow
[Final Chorus]
We sing the winter oath
(oh, oh, oh)
We burn through the frost
(oh, oh, oh)
No chain on my throat
No fear in my bones
We sing the winter oath
(we sing it loud)
