[Verse 1]
Snow in our teeth
Iron in hand
Bootprints burning
Through a frozen land
Old runes waking
Under shattered stone
Crows on the wind
Calling us home
[Chorus]
We are the Northbound Few
Standing where the sky splits through
If Helheim opens wide
We are the wall they meet tonight
Raise up your broken steel
Bleed till the mountains feel
Hold back the fall
The burning clock
Or a thousand years of war will rock
[Verse 2]
Ale on our breath
Smoke in our clothes
Laugh at the dark
Like it’s one of our own
Firelit faces
Scars that remember
Every dead winter
Every last ember
[Chorus]
We are the Northbound Few
Standing where the sky splits through
If Helheim opens wide
We are the wall they meet tonight
Raise up your broken steel
Bleed till the mountains feel
Hold back the fall
The burning clock
Or a thousand years of war will rock
[Bridge]
Will you run
When the red sky cracks? (hey!)
When the dead kings march
Will you turn your back?
Or plant your feet
In the teeth of night
And carve your name
In the throat of time
[Chorus]
We are the Northbound Few
Standing where the sky splits through
If Helheim opens wide
We are the wall they meet tonight
Raise up your broken steel
Bleed till the mountains feel
Hold back the fall
The burning clock
Or a thousand years of war will rock
[Outro]
Snow in our teeth
Iron in hand
Live or die screaming
For this cursed
Blessed land
