[Intro] [Low horn blast Distant war drums] Hoarfrost on the iron shield Breath like smoke in the rising field Ravens circle Sky turned steel We remember what they tried to steal [Verse 1] Boots in the snow Marching slow But the blood runs hot Old runes glow On the ash-wood haft of the axe I’ve got Names in the bark Of the birch where the brothers swore Wolves in the dark Sing along to the tread of war [Chorus] Hear the call of winter Through the ice Through the storm We rise Cold wind Our singer Carves our vow in the northern skies We don’t bow We don’t shiver Let the mountains carry our roar Hear the call of winter We are coming We are coming to your door (hey!) [Verse 2] Salt on the beard From the black-foam edge of the broken sea Fear disappeared When the first horn sounded the melody Fire in the hall Where the scarred and the young all meet If we should fall Lay our bones where the glaciers sleep [Chorus] Hear the call of winter Through the ice Through the storm We rise Cold wind Our singer Carves our vow in the northern skies We don’t bow We don’t shiver Let the mountains carry our roar Hear the call of winter We are coming We are coming to your door (woah-oh) [Bridge] [Music drops Low chant Hand drums] Hoist the shield Raise the spear Every scar Every fear Frozen ground Under heel Blood and snow Same steel Voices rise Like a flame Call our fathers By their name (hey!) [Chorus] Hear the call of winter Through the ice Through the storm We rise Cold wind Our singer Carves our vow in the northern skies We don’t bow We don’t shiver Let the mountains carry our roar Hear the call of winter Hear the call Hear the call once more [Outro] [Gang vocals Fading] Winter calls We answer Winter calls We answer (oh-oh)
