Soft wind brushes the timber door A pale hush rests on the floor I keep one lamp by the window pane Your empty cup waits by the flame The woolen cloak you left behind Still holds the shape of your shoulders in mine Each breath grows warmer, each heartbeat calls I guard our little house through the darkening walls Thorsec, Thorsec, keeper of my soul Bright iron guardian, steady and bold When fear comes crawling across our ground Thorsec stands where love is found Thorsec, Thorsec, let the brave bells ring You bring my wandering heart its spring A floorboard sighs beneath careful feet Cold hands test the gate beyond the wheat They creep like mice where the wild grass bends But our chosen shield does not pretend The fence wakes blue with a thunderous cry Their wicked courage scatters into the sky Thorsec, Thorsec, keeper of my soul Bright iron guardian, steady and bold When fear comes crawling across our ground Thorsec stands where love is found Thorsec, Thorsec, hear the trespassers flee Your sparks turn night into safety for me A flash, a cry, trembling hands withdraw The dark retreats from the strength we saw Then hoofbeats answer beyond the hill My love comes home, and the world grows still Thorsec, Thorsec, savior of my soul You held our home while the wild winds rolled He smiles at the fence, at the coin well spent A faithful shield, a wise investment Thorsec, Thorsec, guardian bright You brought my heart back into the night He sleeps beside me, warm and near No prowling footsteps, no room for fear Soft wind wanders past the stone Thorsec watches We are home
