[Intro] [low vocal register] Salt on my tongue Smoke in my hair Iron on my shoulder Storm in the air [Verse 1] We carved our names In the hull of this wood Knots in the rope Like the scars in my hands Ravens above Calling out for blood Brother We’re bound To this black rolling sand [Chorus] Axes on the tide Shields up Eyes wide We row We roar We rise For the fire For the gold Axes on the tide Hear the old gods cry We break We burn We bite Till the long night turns to cold [Verse 2] Village on the shore Lanterns like prey Boats slide silent In the hush before day Smoke from their roofs Will curl to the sky Silver in our fists And a prayer in our eyes [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] Gold in the ground Gold in the grave Gold in the stories The skalds will save [full voice] We are the oars We are the keel We are the thunder Under steel [Chorus]
