Frozen Shields

Frost in my beard
Iron on my breath
Steam from the longship
Like a beast in the depth
Ravens draw circles
Over steel-grey foam
Cold winter day
But my heart burns home

My Viking song
A cold winter day
I stand in the storm and I sing it my way
Odin
Can you hear me over crashing waves?
This is my oath
This is how I’m saved

Boots cut the shoreline
Shields on our backs
Runes on my fingers
Old gods in the cracks
Snow bites the knuckles
Ice in my hair
I laugh at the thunder
Dare the sky to tear

My Viking song
A cold winter day
I stand in the storm and I sing it my way
Odin
Can you hear me over crashing waves?
This is my oath
This is how I’m saved


Skál for the fallen
For the brothers at sea
For the fjord
For the fire
For the wild in me
One more raid
One more roar
Till the cold
Can’t reach my core 

My Viking song
A cold winter day
I stand in the storm and I sing it my way
Odin
Can you hear me over crashing waves?
This is my oath
This is how I’m saved

This is how I’m saved
