The North and the Storm King’s Thunder Original

[Verse 1] Oh gather close by firelight glow, and still your restless breath, I’ve walked the frozen northern roads where every step means death. Where broken crowns lie in the snow and ancient shadows grow, And whispers ride the bitter wind of truths we dare not know. The storm once bowed to kingly will, to hand and thunder tied— Now thunder rolls across the sky with no one left to guide. [Chorus] Sing of the North and the Storm King’s thunder, Sky torn wide and the peaks split asunder, Hold your flame when the night takes hold— Truth lies buried in the dark and cold. [Verse 2] The dragons fell, their fire undone, their queen cast down in flame, We thought the world was safe again, forever free from pain. But whispers spread from hall to hall, from stone to distant shore: “The giants stir in restless might like never seen before.” The ordning broke, the old laws fell, no guiding hand remained— And every lord now seeks the gods through chaos unrestrained. [Chorus] Sing of the North and the Storm King’s thunder, Sky torn wide and the peaks split asunder, Hold your flame when the night takes hold— Truth lies buried in the dark and cold. [Verse 3] A storm king ruled from ocean deep with justice hard and true, And by his side a gentle queen who saw the smallfolk through. She walked the shores in խաղաղ peace, with kindness in her hand— But vanished on a fateful tide and never reached her land. They found her slain on distant sands where none could hear her cry— And grief became a raging storm that darkened sea and sky. [Chorus] Sing of the North and the Storm King’s thunder, Sky torn wide and the peaks split asunder, Hold your flame when the night takes hold— Truth lies buried in the dark and cold. [Verse 4] The king was led by grief and wrath to hunt what he was told, False trails cast by hidden hands, by lies both cruel and cold. For in his court, behind the throne, where trust should safely lie— A serpent cloaked in giant’s form fed secrets dressed as lies. And deeper still, beneath the waves, where blackened waters churn, A kraken’s will set fate in motion none alive could turn. [Chorus] Sing of the North and the Storm King’s thunder, Sky torn wide and the peaks split asunder, Hold your flame when the night takes hold— Truth lies buried in the dark and cold. [Verse 5] Now one remains upon the throne, though doubt surrounds her name, A daughter true who seeks the light beyond deceit and flame. While elder blood in shadow moves with envy in their breath, And whispers coil through court and crown that reek of hidden death. The giants move, the smallfolk fear, yet none can clearly see— This is no war of open might, but veiled treachery. [Chorus] Sing of the North and the Storm King’s thunder, Sky torn wide and the peaks split asunder, Hold your flame when the night takes hold— Truth lies buried in the dark and cold. [Final Verse] But mark me now, the storm yet turns, the tale is not yet done, For truth may rise where lies were sown before the setting sun. A king still lives, though bound in dark, beyond the mortal sight— And those who seek with courage may yet restore the light. [Final Chorus – Clean Ending] Sing of the North and the Storm King’s thunder, Let truth rise up and tear lies asunder, Raise your voice, let the story be told— No fate is written, no truth controlled. (Final line – fade) The North still calls… through dark and cold…
