Lyrics [Verse 1] Fire wakes beneath the snow War drums call, the cold winds blow Ravens circle through the night Black wings guide us to the fight Iron shields and hearts of flame Every brother knows my name Through the mountains, through the rain We will rise and stand again [Pre-Chorus] Hear the thunder over stone No one fights the storm alone Raise your shield and hold the line The northern fire will never die [Chorus – Male Lead with Powerful Viking Choir] When the iron sky breaks We rise, we rise! Through the fire and the waves We rise, we rise! Raise the hammer, raise the flame Let the whole world know our name When the iron sky breaks The North will rise again! [Verse 2] Longships cut the raging sea Storm and steel will set us free Lightning burns across the mast We will face the storm at last Side by side, we fear no fall Brotherhood will hold us all From the shoreline to the throne We defend the northern home [Pre-Chorus] Hear the thunder over stone No one fights the storm alone Raise your shield and hold the line The northern fire will never die [Chorus – Male Lead with Powerful Viking Choir] When the iron sky breaks We rise, we rise! Through the fire and the waves We rise, we rise! Raise the hammer, raise the flame Let the whole world know our name When the iron sky breaks The North will rise again! [Instrumental Break] Heavy melodic guitar riff, tagelharpa rhythm, deep bass, war drums, horns and nyckelharpa melody. [Bridge – Deep Male Vocal] Let the ravens cross the sun Let the final drums be heard We were born beneath the storm We will never leave this earth From the ashes, from the cold Rise the warriors, brave and bold One heart beating, one strong sound Shake the sky and shake the ground [Final Chorus – Full Viking Choir] When the iron sky breaks We rise, we rise! Through the fire and the waves We rise, we rise! Raise the hammer, raise the flame Let the whole world know our name When the iron sky breaks The North will rise again! We rise, we rise! Hear the northern thunder roar We rise, we rise! Stronger than we were before Raise the hammer, raise the flame Let the whole world know our name When the iron sky breaks The North will rise again! [Outro] The storm may darken every shore But northern hearts will beat once more Through fire, steel and endless night We rise together into light The North will rise again!
