Ten Town 5

[Verse 1]
In the dark of Icewind Dale
Where the whiteouts bite and gnaw
Five names cut through the blizzard
Like a blade held to the jaw
Argyle walks with roots and rage
Snow on his cloak, frost in his beard
Lil Quickclaw slips through shadows
And the danger disappears
[Pre-Chorus]
When the lanterns go out
They don’t back down
When the black ice cracks
They turn around
[Chorus]
Ten Town 5, Ten Town 5
(ride or die)
Ten Town 5, Ten Town 5
(stand alive)
Argyle, Lil Quickclaw
Jasper, Nuriya, Skrinog now
Ten Town 5, Ten Town 5
Hold the line
[Verse 2]
Jasper swings like avalanche
Boots hit hard, and shields bend back
He laughs right in the face of cold
Then smashes through the pack
Nuriya calls the old gods down
Warm light on the frozen stone
Skrinog tastes the blood-red trail
And follows where the fears have gone
[Pre-Chorus]
When the rime comes down
They don’t fold
When the cave mouth roars
They’re all bold
[Chorus]
Ten Town 5, Ten Town 5
(ride or die)
Ten Town 5, Ten Town 5
(stand alive)
Argyle, Lil Quickclaw
Jasper, Nuriya, Skrinog now
Ten Town 5, Ten Town 5
Hold the line
[Bridge]
By the lake where the ice won’t yield
They made a vow in the storm
Five hearts beat under wolfskin steel
Five names keep the northlands warm
If the dark wants one of them
It will find a wall instead
'Cause every trail they leave behind
Turns the ice to red to lead
[Final Chorus]
Ten Town 5, Ten Town 5
(ride or die)
Ten Town 5, Ten Town 5
(stand alive)
Argyle, Lil Quickclaw
Jasper, Nuriya, Skrinog now
Ten Town 5, Ten Town 5
Hold the line
[Outro]
Hold the line
Hold the line
Ten Town 5
Hold the line

Folk-rock adventure anthem with driving midtempo stomp, handclaps, and a rolling drum pulse; verse rides acoustic strums and bass harmonies, pre-chorus strips to voice and floor tom, chorus hits with gang chants and fiddle lines. Lead vocal is gritty and close-mic with doubled hook words, group shouts in parentheses, and short call-and-response ad-libs. Frosty wind swells, sword-rack clangs, and a snapped snare pickup bridge sections. Bright, punchy, tavern-crowd mix.
