Where the Long Roads Meet — Ember of Midgard — Nordic Folk Rock

Full English Lyrics [Verse 1 – Male Vocal] The frozen fields lie far behind, I carry your voice within my mind. Through mountain paths and oceans wide, Your promise marches by my side. The cold may cut, the days may bend, But every road must have an end. I hear your name in every drum, And know the day will surely come. [Pre-Chorus – Male Vocal] No mile can break what we have made, No winter steals the vows we gave. [Chorus – Duet] Where the long roads meet, I will stand with you. Through the snow beneath our feet, Our hearts will carry through. Where the long roads meet, No distance will remain. Hand in hand, we will defeat The cold, the dark, the pain. Where the long roads meet, I will find you there. [Verse 2 – Female Vocal] I watch the pale moon cross the stone, But in my soul, I’m not alone. I keep your words beside my bed, And hold the dreams we always said. The winds may shake the wooden walls, The heavy silence sometimes falls. But every dawn that warms the sky Brings your returning footsteps nigh. [Pre-Chorus – Female Vocal] No fear can take the hope we save, No winter steals the vows we gave. [Chorus – Duet] Where the long roads meet, I will stand with you. Through the snow beneath our feet, Our hearts will carry through. Where the long roads meet, No distance will remain. Hand in hand, we will defeat The cold, the dark, the pain. Where the long roads meet, I will find you there. [Verse 3 – Alternating Vocals] Male: I crossed the valleys carved in white. Female: I kept the candle through the night. Male: I heard your song beyond the sea. Female: I knew your steps would come to me. Male: No broken bridge could turn me round. Female: No silent year could pull us down. Together: Two separate paths, one vow complete, Leading where the long roads meet. [Bridge – Duet Building into Choir] Female: When the sky grows heavy— Male: When the mountains stand— Female: I will call across them— Male: I will take your hand. Together: Let the great drums answer, Let the old horns sound. What the years have tested Will not fall to ground. Viking Choir: Hold the vow! Hold the line! Your road returns to mine! [Final Chorus – Duet with Viking Choir] Where the long roads meet, I will stand with you. Through the snow beneath our feet, Our hearts will carry through. Where the long roads meet, No distance will remain. Hand in hand, we will defeat The cold, the dark, the pain. Where the long roads meet, Let the mountains hear. Every step and every beat Has brought us safely here. Where the long roads meet, I have found you there. [Outro – Soft Duet with Distant Choir] Male: No road was walked in vain. Female: No winter could remain. Together: Through every distant year, I knew I’d find you here. Choir: Where the long roads meet… Where the long roads meet…
