Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was raised on frost and fire

Under a hammer in the sky

Read the runes on an old pine table

While the church bells rolled by

My hands know ash and iron

My knees know dirt and flame

I bow to the thunder above me

And I carry my own name

[Pre-Chorus]

But my brother wears a cross

Like a badge on a worn-out coat

He prays with a steady jaw

And he keeps that temper close

[Chorus]

Ride for my brother

Ride hard, ride true

I call on Thor

And he calls on the Lord too

Hammer in my heart

Prayer in his hand

Two old souls

On one hard land

Ride for my brother

Ride, ride for my brother

[Verse 2]

He’ll calm a barroom brawl

With a look and a lowered voice

I’ve seen him stand like a church door

When the room got mean and noisy

I bring the storm and the wild

He brings the peace and the light

When my blood runs hot as July

He keeps me straight all night

[Pre-Chorus]

He says grace over supper

I lift my mug to the stars

Different roads to the same fire

Same scars and stubborn hearts

[Chorus]

Ride for my brother

Ride hard, ride true

I call on Thor

And he calls on the Lord too

Hammer in my heart

Prayer in his hand

Two old souls

On one hard land

Ride for my brother

Ride, ride for my brother

[Bridge]

If the dust turns thick at sunset

And the wolves get near the pen

I’ll be the first through the gate

I’ll ride with him again

Let the altar and the oak tree

Stand where they’ve always stood

One brother made for battle

One brother made for good

[Final Chorus]

Ride for my brother

Ride hard, ride true

I call on Thor

And he calls on the Lord too

Hammer in my heart

Prayer in his hand

Two old souls

On one hard land

Ride for my brother

Ride, ride for my brother
