Heart of Bone

Letra

[Intro] Hush now, the fjord holds its breath Hear the old names under the ice [Verse 1] You carved your vow in a split pine door Salt on your sleeve, iron on the floor The winter counted each step you made We answer now from the cairn and cave [Pre-Chorus] Raise the mark, let the cold wind know One by one, we come below [Chorus] Hey—carry the fire through the snow Hey—wake the roots beneath the stone We are the hands that will not let go We are the storm with a heart of bone [Verse 2] You heard the ravens above the ridge Your mother’s braid on the old ash bridge The shield rims rang as the red dawn rose And every lost one stood in rows [Pre-Chorus] Raise the mark, let the cold wind know One by one, we come below [Chorus] Hey—carry the fire through the snow Hey—wake the roots beneath the stone We are the hands that will not let go We are the storm with a heart of bone [Bridge] Low voices: Under the mountain Lead: You called us home Low voices: Out of the silence Lead: We claim our own All: Hold fast, hold fast, through ash and snow Hold fast, hold fast, the old roots grow [Breakdown] No crown, no chain No fear, no shame Your name is carried Your blood remains [Final Chorus] Hey—carry the fire through the snow Hey—wake the roots beneath the stone We are the hands that will not let go We are the storm with a heart of bone Hey—let every cold horizon know Hey—we rise where the dark winds blow [Outro] Hush now, the fjord remembers We leave no name alone
