[Intro] At the fjord’s black edge, the iron tide is turning [Verse 1] My soles leave no print on the frost-bitten stair A blade at my sleeve and a braid in my hair You count every gate, every name, every breath I learned how to move where the watchmen forget I came down from the north with salt in my beard My shield split in two, but I carried no fear [Pre-Chorus] You take the road, I take the wall One low signal, then the sentries fall [Chorus] We meet where the cold sea breaks the stone Two sworn blades, but we stand alone No chain can bind what the night has made North wind, hidden hand—unafraid [Verse 2] Silk over steel, black thread through the seam I slip past the lanterns that guard your regime You speak with your shield; I answer with signs A cut at the rope and the gate falls in time I know every scar that the longships have earned You know every door that the keep has not turned [Pre-Chorus] You take the road, I take the wall One low signal, then the sentries fall [Chorus] We meet where the cold sea breaks the stone Two sworn blades, but we stand alone No chain can bind what the night has made North wind, hidden hand—unafraid [Bridge] When the horn sounds, don’t look for a flag. Look for the door left open. I’ll hold the pass until the last one’s through Then vanish at dawn before they know who [Final Chorus] We meet where the cold sea breaks the stone Two sworn blades, and we claim our own No chain can bind what the night has made North wind, hidden hand—unafraid [Outro] The tide remembers. So do we.
