[Verse 1]
Black keel cuts the gray tide
Steel teeth in the foam
Ash on my knuckles
Salt in my bone
I hear the wolves in the mast
I smell the storm ahead
My fathers call from the black
Wake the dead
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise the oar
Raise the blade
No more fear
No more shade
The sky goes hard
The sea goes red
We march through ice
To the firelit hall of the dead
[Chorus]
Blood and ice!
Blood and ice!
We break the night
Blood and ice! (Blood and ice!)
Blood and ice!
Blood and ice!
Born to burn
Born to bite
[Verse 2]
Hearths roar gold in the dark
Runes carve the beams
Mead on the table
War in our dreams
A horn cracks loud by the gate
The shields all wake and ring
We take the oath in the flame
And the cliffs start to sing
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise the oar
Raise the blade
No more fear
No more shade
The sky goes hard
The sea goes red
We march through ice
To the firelit hall of the dead
[Chorus]
Blood and ice!
Blood and ice!
We break the night
Blood and ice! (Blood and ice!)
Blood and ice!
Blood and ice!
Born to burn
Born to bite
[Bridge]
Cold god, hear me now
I never bow
Snow on my face
Fire in the vow
Storm in my lungs
Iron in my veins
When the black waves rise
We rise the same
[Final Chorus]
Blood and ice!
Blood and ice!
We break the night
Blood and ice! (Blood and ice!)
Blood and ice!
Blood and ice!
Born to burn
Born to bite
Blood and ice!
Blood and ice!
Hear our cry
Hear our cry
