Blood of the North
Thunder rolls across the sea
Longships cut through destiny
Axes raised beneath the storm
Warriors made and legends born
Wolfskin on my battle worn back
No fear of the point of attack
Odin watch as ravens fly
We live with honour or we die
Raise the horns and let them ring
Hear the songs our fathers sing
Fire in our veins tonight
Born to stand and born to fight
Chorus
We are the blood of the north
Forged in ice and carried by storms
No king can break these bones
No god can claim these souls
Through the crashing waves we ride
With the old world at our side
When the final battle calls
We’ll be standing through it all
Steel collides and shields will crack
There is no turning back
The mountain shakes beneath our feet
As enemies fall beneath the beat
Brothers roaring to the sky
Laughing in the face of death’s cold eye
Every scar a story told
Every heartbeat made of gold
Verse
Blackened sails against the dawn
We hunt until the night is gone
Salt and blood upon our hands
Searching for forgotten lands
Children raised on ancient tales
Of serpent seas and winter gales
Taught that courage lights the way
When darkness steals the light of day
The skalds will sing of battles won
Of desperate stands and deeds we’ve done
Of shield walls locked in driving rain
And warriors rising once again
Pre Chorus
Hear the ravens calling loud
Stand together stand us proud
If fate has written how we fall
We’ll answer with a thunderous call
Chorus
We are the blood of the north
Forged in ice and carried by storms
No king can break these bones
No god can claim these souls
Through the crashing waves we ride
With the old world at our side
When the final battle calls
We’ll be standing through it all
Bridge
I hear the drums beneath the earth
Calling every soul of worth
Ancestors whisper through the flame
Carry on the family name
Strike the iron shape the blade
Remember every vow we’ve made
Fear is only winter’s breath
A fleeting shadow before death
If tonight becomes our last
Raise the horn and drain the glass
For the ones who sailed before
Waiting in Valhalla’s hall once more
Breakdown
We were carved from northern stone
Tempered hard and left alone
Beneath the aurora’s burning light
We learned to love the endless fight
No surrender no retreat
The frozen ground beneath our feet
With wolfish hearts and battle cries
We’ll greet the gods with fearless eyes
Final Chorus
We are the blood of the north
Born of thunder forged by storms
The sea may take our flesh and bone
But never claim the hearts we’ve grown
Raise your axes to the sky
Let the old gods hear us cry
From the fjords to distant shores
Our legend echoes evermore
We are the blood of the north
The last ones standing through the storm
And when the final raven flies
We’ll meet Valhalla side by side
Hey Hey
Raise the horns and let them ring
Hey Hey
Hear the songs our fathers sing
Hey Hey
Blood and glory through the night
We were born to live and fight
Valhalla waits beyond the flame
Remembe
