[Verse 1]
Frost on the steel in my hand
Breath turns to ghosts in the air
Snowline marked by fallen shields
Red on the white everywhere
Cold wind carves your name in my lungs
Drums in my chest start to pound
I grip the hilt till my knuckles crack
One voice rising over the sound
[Chorus]
Wolves at my heel
I run toward the thunder (hey!)
Steel in my fist
I tear through the fear I feel
If the sky falls black
I’ll drag back the hunger
I don’t back down
Wolves at my heel
[Verse 2]
First clash
The earth starts to shake
Face to scarred face in the storm
Iron screams and armor splits
Fire where the courage was warm
They circle close
Teeth in the dark
Breath on my neck
Heavy
Hot
I taste the dirt
Then I stand again
Swear I give everything I’ve got
[Chorus]
Wolves at my heel
I run toward the thunder
Steel in my fist
I tear through the fear I feel
If the sky falls black
I’ll drag back the hunger
I don’t back down
Wolves at my heel
[Bridge]
Blades get heavy
Lungs burn dry
Every strike feels twice as high
Every step
A mountain wall
Still I rise
Still I don’t fall (oh!)
Hear them howl
They want me tired
Teeth and terror
Rage and fire
I bare my throat to call their bluff
I am the storm
I am enough
[Chorus]
Wolves at my heel
I run toward the thunder
Steel in my fist
I tear through the fear I feel
If the sky falls black
I’ll drag back the hunger
I don’t back down
Wolves at my heel
[Outro]
Last one kneels
Drops rust to the ground
Snow drinks the noise
Swallows the sound
I raise my sword to the pale gray sun
Wolves fall silent
The battle’s done
