[Intro] Raise the oars Let the cold wind sing We came up hard With the north in our veins [Verse 1] Boots on stone By the harbor gate Salt in our beards And the dawn won’t wait Ash in the camp Fire in our eyes One heavy road Under open skies [Chorus] We rise, we rise Like iron on the fjord We rise, we rise With a roar no man can board Hold tight, hold tight Hear the whole line call We rise, we rise And we don’t fall [Verse 2] Hands on shields When the dark rolls in Old songs wake In the bones of men Mothers prayed By the pinewood door Now we march For the ones before [Bridge] [Nyckelharpa solo] Through the black pine smoke Through the frozen rain Every scar we wear Turns to a name Hear that ancient cry Cut across the years We are still alive We are still here [Chorus] We rise, we rise Like iron on the fjord We rise, we rise With a roar no man can board Hold tight, hold tight Hear the whole line call We rise, we rise And we don’t fall [Chorus] We rise, we rise Like iron on the fjord We rise, we rise With a roar no man can board Hold tight, hold tight Hear the whole line call We rise, we rise And we don’t fall [Outro] Raise the oars Let the cold wind sing We came up hard And we’ll come back kings
