Oath of Iron Fjord

I was born where the black tide bites

Under split-wood roofs and raven skies

Salt on my hands, ash in my teeth

Cold steel dreams under frozen wheat

I watched the sons from the longboats rise

Painted in blood and winter pride

Old bones rattled in the dockside mud

We fed the storm with iron and blood

Hear the oars in the dark

Hear the wolves at the shore

We don't bow to the frost

We just ask for more

Oath of iron

Oath of fire

We rise, we rise

Through the pyre

Oath of iron

Call us higher

We sing, we sing

Like a warrior choir

My brother fell by the fjord-side stones

I took his ring and I took his bone

Held it high when the horns came in

Swore to the night we would not yield

Mothers crowned us with braided grief

Fathers taught us to bite the grief

Every scar was a map, a mark

Every name carved deep in the dark

Hear the oars in the dark

Hear the wolves at the shore

We don't bow to the frost

We just ask for more

Oath of iron

Oath of fire

We rise, we rise

Through the pyre

Oath of iron

Call us higher

We sing, we sing

Like a warrior choir

If the sea takes me

Let it take my name

If the sky breaks open

I will stand in flame

Stand in flame

Stand in flame

Oath of iron

Oath of fire

We rise, we rise

Through the pyre

Oath of iron

Call us higher

We sing, we sing

Like a warrior choir

Oath of iron

Oath of fire

We rise, we rise

Through the pyre

Oath of iron

Call us higher

We sing, we sing

Like a warrior choir
