[Intro] [low vocal register]Cold wind Salt on the tongue Shields up Tonight we are sung[/low vocal register] [Verse 1] Black waves hammer the hull Iron hearts Iron lungs Storm-line carving the dark Hear the oarlocks drum like guns Helmsman Eyes like winter Breath turning straight to ice Ravens circle our mast We have already paid the price [Pre-Chorus] Blood on the tide Names on the blade We ride We ride Through fear we wade [Chorus] SAILS OF THE FALLEN ROAR INTO THE MAELSTROM (hey!) BROKEN BONES AND BURNING SUNS ABOVE THE FOAM ROW TIL YOUR HANDS TEAR SKY IS SPLIT WITH THUNDER DROWN ME DEEP AND DRAG MY SOUL TO VALHALLA’S THRONE [Verse 2] Frost burns under our nails Steel sings Eager to bite Old scars glow like embers As the sea swells up in white Skalds will carve this journey Into bark Into bone If we sink in this fury We still march to golden stone [Pre-Chorus] Blood on the tide Scars like a crown We rise We rise By going down [Chorus] [Bridge] [gang chants]VAL-HAL-LA VAL-HAL-LA VAL-HAL-LA TAKE US HOME[/gang chants] [whispered vocals]Let the deep be our pyre Let the cold be our guide Every breath Every cry Is an oath we cannot hide[/whispered vocals] [guitar solo] [Chorus]
