Verse 1 I was forged in the cold of a bitter black night, With the wolves at my heels and no end in sight. The wind cut my skin, the sea stole my name, But I carried the fire through the thunder and rain. The mountains stood high like the walls of the gods, Every step that I took left a trail through the frost. Many called for my fall, many prayed for defeat, But I learned how to stand on my bloodied feet. Pre-Chorus When the darkness came calling, I answered the cry. When the tempest was raging, I refused to die. Chorus Raise the horns to the sky! Let the northern winds roar! We are stronger than the battles That have come before. From the ashes we rise, Like the dawn after night. With the strength of a thousand warriors, We fight, we fight! Verse 2 I have sailed through the storms where the black waters churn, Watched the bridges I built crack and splinter and burn. Every scar that I carry is a rune on my soul, Every loss was a lesson that made me whole. The ravens flew over the fields of the slain, Yet I marched ever forward through sorrow and pain. For the heart of a warrior is not forged in ease, It is tempered in fire and the wrath of the seas. Pre-Chorus When the darkness came calling, I answered the cry. When the tempest was raging, I refused to die. Chorus Raise the horns to the sky! Let the northern winds roar! We are stronger than the battles That have come before. From the ashes we rise, Like the dawn after night. With the strength of a thousand warriors, We fight, we fight! Bridge Ohh-ohh-ohh! The chains are broken! Ohh-ohh-ohh! The oath is spoken! No king, no storm, no fear can bend me now! I stand before the heavens and I make this vow: I am the mountain! I am the sea! I am the thunder That was born in me! Final Chorus Raise the horns to the sky! Let the northern winds roar! We are stronger than the battles That have come before! From the ashes we rise, Like the dawn after night. With the strength of a thousand warriors, We fight, we fight! Outro The storm did not break us— It showed us our might. We are the stormborn, And we rise tonight! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! To Valhalla we ride! With victory at our side!
