[Intro] Talk is cheap. Honor ain't. --- [Verse 1] You paint a picture, I built the frame. You chase applause, I built a name. I walk the road one god once trod, Still paying dues to the One-Eyed God. He gave one eye, then hung for truth. I learned that lesson back in my youth. No empty flex, no borrowed fame. Honor's the fire that forged my name. A loud-ass mouth don't make you tough. The first hard wind? You fold and bluff. The ravens watch every oath you make. They know the real from the polished fake. You sell your soul for likes and views. Then wonder why your people choose The one who'd stand when the cold wind blows. Óðinn walks with the man who knows. --- [Chorus] Your mouth writes checks Your spine won't cash. The first hard storm, You fold and crash. My word is iron. Yours is smoke. You break your oath... You end up broke. Stand on truth Or stand alone. A hollow man Ain't worth a throne. --- [Verse 2] I don't wear Mjölnir just for style. That weight reminds me every mile To earn respect with work and scars, Not cheap-ass words or rented stars. Týr gave his hand to bind the beast. What have you risked for yours at least? You scream you're loyal, loud and proud, Then disappear when shit gets loud. I've seen men kneel for silver stacks. I've seen them smile while stabbing backs. I'd rather feast in Valhöll's hall Than live a coward fearing the fall. When fear comes knocking at your gate, Do you bend... or carry weight? Every choice becomes your brand. Every step leaves tracks in sand. --- [Bridge] You call yourself a warrior? Bullshit. A warrior doesn't stab his brothers for a better seat. He doesn't sell his honor for a pocket full of cash. He doesn't swear an oath with one breath And choke on it with the next. You ain't feared. You ain't respected. You're just another loud-ass coward... Trying to drown out the sound of your own empty soul. --- [Verse 3] So hear me clear before I leave. A lie's a debt that thieves receive. Truth cuts deep, but truth stands tall. Lies look big... then crack and fall. Walk like Óðinn, seeking more. Stand like Týr in righteous war. Fight like Thor when loved ones bleed. Give like Freyr to those in need. Honor Frigg by keeping home. Honor Heimdall standing lone. Stand so Hel won't hang her head When your footsteps join the dead. When they lower me beneath the sod, I'll face the gaze of the One-Eyed God. Let Huginn, Muninn tell this oath: "He kept his word... ...when keeping it hurt the most." --- [Final Chorus] Your mouth writes checks Your spine won't cash. The first hard storm, You fold and crash. My word is iron. Yours is smoke. You break your oath... You end up broke. Stand on truth Or stand alone. A hollow man Ain't worth a throne. --- [Outro] You can fake wealth. You can fake power. You can fake courage... ...for about an hour. After that... The truth starts talking.
