Stonebound Voices — Ember of Midgard — Nordic Folk Rock

[Verse 1] We walked where the cold earth trembled, With the weight of years below. Every scar became a promise, Every step began to show. Through the valleys carved by ages, Past the halls our fathers knew, We could hear their distant voices, Saying, “Stand and carry through.” [Pre-Chorus] When the road is hard beneath us, When the sky is closing in, We remember who came before us, And the strength beneath our skin. [Chorus – Male Lead and Viking Choir] We are the stonebound voices, We are the shield and song. Side by side we carry on, Together we are strong. Raise your hands, raise your voices, Let the ancient mountains know: We are the stonebound voices, And we will never let go! [Verse 2] Heavy drums across the distance, Call the scattered clans as one. Melodic strings awaken, Like the breaking of the sun. Not for gold and not for glory, Not to wear a kingly crown, We will stand for those beside us, When the walls come crashing down. [Pre-Chorus] When the road is hard beneath us, When the sky is closing in, We remember who came before us, And the strength beneath our skin. [Chorus – Male Lead and Viking Choir] We are the stonebound voices, We are the shield and song. Side by side we carry on, Together we are strong. Raise your hands, raise your voices, Let the ancient mountains know: We are the stonebound voices, And we will never let go! [Bridge] Hear the hammers, hear the heartbeat, Hear the drums beneath the ground. Every brother, every sister, Let your battle cry resound. Though the years may try to break us, Though the world may turn away, What is carved within our spirit Will not fade or fall today. [Final Chorus – Full Viking Choir] We are the stonebound voices, We are the shield and song. Side by side we carry on, Together we are strong. Raise your hands, raise your voices, Let the ancient mountains know: We are the stonebound voices, And we will never let go! We are the stonebound voices, Hear the thunder of our song. As long as we stand together, Our name will carry on. Raise your hands, raise your voices, Let every distant valley know: We are the stonebound voices, And we will never let go! [Outro] Stone by stone, Name by name, We guard the bond That still remains. Hand in hand, Through wind and snow, We are the voices That never let go.
