Iron Tide Rising — Ember of Midgard— Epic Nordic Folk Rock

IRON TIDE RISING [Intro – War Drums, Horns and Heavy Guitar] Male Vocal: Hear the drums across the sea, The northern storm is calling me! [Verse 1] Black waves rise beneath our ship, Cold rain falls from every cliff. Ravens fly above the mast, We sail forward, strong and fast. Fire burns along the shore, Hear the sound of shields once more. Side by side, we face the night, Born for honor, born to fight. [Pre-Chorus] Raise the sail and lift the blade, We will never be afraid. Through the thunder, through the flame, The North will rise and speak our name! [Chorus – Male Lead and Viking Choir] Iron tide rising! Higher than the storm! Iron tide rising! Northern hearts are born! Through the fire, through the night, We stand together, we stand and fight. Iron tide rising! The North will rise tonight! [Verse 2] Mountain shadows guard our land, Steel and fire are in our hands. Brothers march beneath the sky, With the northern lights held high. Longships cut the ocean foam, Every wave will lead us home. No chain can hold, no fear can stay The sons of thunder on their way. [Pre-Chorus] Raise the sail and lift the blade, We will never be afraid. Through the thunder, through the flame, The North will rise and speak our name! [Chorus – Male Lead and Viking Choir] Iron tide rising! Higher than the storm! Iron tide rising! Northern hearts are born! Through the fire, through the night, We stand together, we stand and fight. Iron tide rising! The North will rise tonight! [Instrumental Break] Heavy melodic guitars, tagelharpa pulse, nyckelharpa melody, deep bass, war drums, horns and short Nordic flute phrases. [Bridge – Deep Male Vocal] Let the storm break over me. Let the fire cross the sea. We are stone, we are flame, We are one beneath one name. No man stands alone tonight. Every brother joins the fight. From the mountains to the foam, We defend our northern home! [Final Chorus – Full Viking Choir] Iron tide rising! Higher than the storm! Iron tide rising! Northern hearts are born! Through the fire, through the night, We stand together, we stand and fight. Iron tide rising! The North will rise tonight! Iron tide rising! Hear the warriors call! Iron tide rising! Together we stand tall! [Outro] The storm may roar, The dark may fall, But the northern flame Will outlive them all. Viking Choir: Iron tide rising! Iron tide rising! The North will never fall!
