[Verse 1]
Ice in the throat
Ash in the beard
I walk the fjord
Where the dead are cleared
Horn on my back
Bone in my fist
Black salt prayer
In the blood-fog mist
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the gate crack
Hear the stone wake
Old names crawl up
Through the grave shake
[Chorus]
Black oath cairn
Raise it high
Black oath cairn
Burn the sky
Black oath cairn
We do not kneel
Black oath cairn
Blood made steel
[Verse 2]
Wolf on the helm
Rust in the eye
I feast on the lie
Of the winter sky
Runes in my mouth
Fire in the lung
Steel hymn roaring
From a dead world sung
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the gate crack
Hear the stone wake
Old names crawl up
Through the grave shake
[Chorus]
Black oath cairn
Raise it high
Black oath cairn
Burn the sky
Black oath cairn
We do not kneel
Black oath cairn
Blood made steel
[Bridge]
Abyssal mother
Open wide
Swallow the fear
Keep the rage inside
Choir of cinders
Rise and gnash
All we were
Becomes the ash
[Final Chorus]
Black oath cairn
Raise it high
Black oath cairn
Burn the sky
Black oath cairn
We do not kneel
Black oath cairn
Blood made steel
[Outro]
Hail the dark
Hail the pyre
Deep below
Nordic hellfire
