[Intro]
Cold stone
Iron tombs
Names carved shallow
Under drifting dust
Breath that is not breath
Frozen in their chests
Dreams caught
In cables and chains
Low tide of memory
Pulling through the dark
Wolf-song on the edge
Of a rusted heart
[Verse 1]
Dream of Fenris
Snow in the lashes
Salt on the wind
Old ice cracking
Longships leaning
Under a red dawn haze
Voices by the shoreline
Calling out their names
Ash on the anvil
Sparks in the beard
Oaths spoken once
Still hanging in the air
Runes on the mead-bench
Glow like embers
Stories of the dead
Told a thousand winters
[Chant]
We are the blood
We are the fang
We are the storm
That carries your name
We are the blood
We are the fang
We are the storm
That carries your name (hey!)
[Pre-Chorus]
Stone lids tremble
Rust bolts groan
Old gods listening
Deep in the hull
Do you hear
The hearth-fire crack?
Do you feel
The world come back?
[Chorus]
Awaken
Wolf
From iron sleep
The sky remembers how you sing
Fenris calls across the deep
Through frozen stars
Through broken wings
Rise
Old hound of the Allfather’s hall
Claws of metal
Heart of flame
Awaken
Wolf
Answer the call
The hunt begins again in His name
[Verse 2]
Oil-stained visions
Armor on the rack
Brothers in the training yard
Laughing at your back
Shield-wall breathing
Steam in the cold
Flagstones shaking
As battle-hymns rolled
Smoke of burned worlds
Metal and bone
Howl in the hull
When you charged alone
Last sight
Last stand
Crimson on the snow
Then steel and silence
Buried what you know
[Chant]
We are the blood
We are the fang
We are the storm
That carries your name
We are the wound
We are the scar
We are the cry
That cuts through the dark (oh!)
[Bridge]
[Drums begin to thunder
Horns swell]
Lenses flare
Coffin lights burn
Cables tense
Pistons turn
One by one
The giants wake
Chain-teeth rattling
Like a quaking grave
Names like thunder
Rolled through the vox
Grim and forgotten
Now break their locks
“By fang and frost”
They speak as one
“By ash and oath
We rise
We come”
[Chorus]
Awaken
Wolf
From iron sleep
The sky remembers how you sing
Fenris calls across the deep
Through frozen stars
Through broken wings
Rise
Old hound of the Allfather’s hall
Claws of metal
Heart of flame
Awaken
Wolf
Answer the call
The hunt begins again in His name
[Final Chant]
Fang and father
Steel and stone
Wolf and warrior
All are one
Fang and father
Steel and stone
Wolf and warrior
Marching home (hey!)
