[Intro] [Male Vocal] From the fjord, I bring the winter in Iron on my shoulder, salt beneath my skin [Verse 1] [Male Vocal] I was raised where the black pines bend Where the longships sleep and the cold winds rend Now I cross the pass with a split shield rim And a promise I made when the lamps went dim [Verse 2] [Female Rap] You took the ridge, I took the wall Soft step, steel thread, no sound at all Red cord tied where the watchmen turn One breath held while the signal fires burn You meet the gate with your blade held high I cut the lock and the sentries go blind Different roads, same mark on the hand We came for the names they erased from the land [Pre-Chorus] [Male Vocal] The snow keeps every footprint The stone remembers names [Female Vocal] Count us out, then count again We’re still here, we remain [Chorus] [Duet] North wind, carry our warning Black tide, open the way He holds the line till morning She leaves no trace where she came One oath, two blades, one reckoning No crown can make us kneel North wind, carry our warning We are the wound that will not seal [Verse 3] [Female Rap] No banner, no boast, just a map in ash Three doors, one guard, one moment to pass He draws their eyes to the cliffside track I slip through the smoke and I don’t look back At the hall, their ledgers are stacked to the beams Every stolen winter, every silenced dream I set them alight; let the old names rise While he breaks the chain at the river’s divide [Bridge] [Spoken Male Vocal] If the ice takes the road, we make another. [Spoken Female Vocal] If they bury the truth, we bring it above. [Male Vocal] I’ll stand where the cold cuts through. [Female Vocal] I’ll move where the eyes can’t follow. [Final Chorus] [Duet] North wind, carry our warning Black tide, open the way He holds the line till morning She leaves no trace where she came One oath, two blades, one reckoning No crown can make us kneel North wind, carry our warning We are the wound that will not seal [Outro] [Male Vocal] The fjord keeps the secret. [Female Vocal] The blade keeps the answer.
