**Verse 1** My roots run deep, before the dawn, Carved in stone where the wild winds yawn. From fjord to prairie, through buffalo plains, Ancient spirits call me by name. **Throat Chorus** – Hoooo-yaa… Hoooo-yaa… Ancient blood, hear the call… Hoooo-yaa… Hoooo-yaa… Before the dawn, we stand tall. **Verse 2** Under northern lights, I chase the moon, Through endless pines where the lone wolves croon. Tipis and longships both carved my soul, Thunderbirds dance where the thunder rolls. **Throat Chorus** Hoooo-yaa… Hoooo-yaa… Ancient blood, hear the call… Hoooo-yaa… Hoooo-yaa… Before the dawn, we stand tall. **Bridge** I carry the axe, I carry the bow, Sacred smoke rises where the wild rivers flow. One fire burns in this blood of mine, Nordic thunder, indigenous spine. **Verse 3** From the midnight sun to the great plains’ call, Eagle and raven fly over it all. Heritage woven in earth, wind, and bone, I sing to the roots that I’ll never outgrow. **Final Throat Chorus** Hoooo-yaa… Hoooo-yaa… Ancient blood, hear the call… Hoooo-yaa… Hoooo-yaa… Before the dawn… we stand tall.
