[Verse 1] Snow on the shield, black as coal. Your trail in the grass leads to the threshold. Who is walking there through the crunch of bones? God of war, I call you quickly. Wind in the face, ash on the lips. I don’t ask — I stand in the teeth. [Pre-Chorus] I hear footsteps behind my back. Old blood speaks to me. Grip your hand, don’t drop the blade. The night is waning — the east will rise. [Chorus] God of war, lead (lead, lead) God of war, look (look, look) We won’t leave (won’t leave) We haven’t broken (haven’t broken) God of war, burn (burn, burn) God of war, live (live, live) [Verse 2] In the damp pit, the copper of the shield is silent. Your name cuts the lips. Blood on the belt, salt on the temples. I am not alone — you are in my hands. An old rite, a smoky bonfire. Every step I take — is your expanse. Rage is silent, like a wolf’s tongue. But when it’s time, it will scream. [Pre-Chorus] I hear the blow on the ground in the distance. This isn’t fear — this is us coming. Stand behind me, don’t look back. The god of war is counting our ranks. [Chorus] God of war, lead (lead, lead) God of war, look (look, look) We won’t leave (we won’t leave) We haven’t broken (we haven’t broken) War God, burn (burn, burn) War God, live (live, live) [Bridge] [Spoken] I saw how darkness settled on the field. I saw how fear begged for mercy. But your name keeps my mouth open. Your name leads us through the steel. [Breakdown] Palm to palm. The earth trembles. Who calls us? He stands here. Black rite. Red trail. If we fall — then into the light. [Final Chorus] God of war, lead (lead, lead) God of war, look (look, look) We won’t leave (we won’t leave) We haven’t broken (we haven’t broken) God of war, burn (burn, burn) God of war, live (live, live) God of war, lead (lead, lead) God of war, watch (watch, watch)
