[Verse 1] I was raised on salt and stone Cold hands, warm fire, old bone My mother said, "Boy, hold fast" My father laughed, "We run past" Snow on the boots, grit on the chin I know the road that I'm from [Pre-Chorus] You can push, you can bend me You can try to forget me But something wakes up When the drums hit home [Chorus] Viking in my blood Viking in my blood I don't back down I don't break up Viking in my blood Viking in my blood Call my name out loud I'll rise right up [Verse 2] Iron in the family line Old scars never left my spine I learned to stand in the freeze With a grin through my teeth If the world wants a fight I'll meet it eye to eye [Pre-Chorus] You can push, you can bend me You can try to forget me But something wakes up When the drums hit home [Chorus] Viking in my blood Viking in my blood I don't back down I don't break up Viking in my blood Viking in my blood Call my name out loud I'll rise right up [Bridge] Take the wave, take the hit I was made for a little bit Of the hard road, the long night I keep moving, I keep mine [Final Chorus] Viking in my blood Viking in my blood I don't back down I don't break up Viking in my blood Viking in my blood Call my name out loud I'll rise right up Viking in my blood Viking in my blood I was born to stand I was born to run
