**From Earth We Rose II: Remember the Blood”**

# **“From Earth We Rose II: Remember the Blood”** **Verse 1** Do you remember the songs by the firelight glow, The names of the fathers from long ago? The hands that built, the hearts that bled, The words of the old ones, the prayers they said. They tried to soften the iron in our name, Tried to bury our pride beneath guilt and shame, Tried to change our tongue, tried to silence our drums, But the blood still remembers where it comes from. --- **Pre-Chorus** The mountains still know us, the rivers still call, The stones of our homeland remember it all, No lie can erase what the ancestors gave, No fear can make freeborn hearts behave. --- **Chorus** Remember the blood, remember the flame, Remember the culture, remember the name, We are the sons, we are the daughters, Of storm and stone, of fire and water. No more will we lose what the old ones made, No more will our roots be torn away, From earth we were born, to the land we belong, We rise… we reclaim… we remember the song. --- **Verse 2** They came with new words for the old sacred ways, Told us to forget our honour and praise, Told us our stories were better left dead, That the crown of our people was shame on our head. But culture is not dust, and blood is not weak, It lives in the songs that the children speak, It lives in the hands that work the land, In the oath of a people who still choose to stand. So raise up the banners, let the war horns cry, Not for hatred, but for memory held high, We take back the stories, the language, the pride, The soul of a people they could not divide. --- **Pre-Chorus** The old drums are waking, the fire is fed, The voices are rising from those long dead, They whisper through thunder, through rain and through stone: “Take back your culture. Come back to your own.” --- **Chorus** Remember the blood, remember the flame, Remember the culture, remember the name, We are the sons, we are the daughters, Of storm and stone, of fire and water. No more will we lose what the old ones made, No more will our roots be torn away, From earth we were born, to the land we belong, We rise… we reclaim… we remember the song. --- **Bridge — Female Viking Chant** Beat the drum. Raise the flame. Speak the words. Keep the name. Hold the line. Guard the stone. Teach the young. Honour home. Not erased. Not undone. Many hearts. Standing one. Ancient voice. Burning strong. We return. To the song. --- **Breakdown — Heavy War Chant** Ho! Ho! Ho! The old blood calls! Ho! Ho! Ho! The false crown falls! Shield to shield! Voice to voice! We remember. We have a choice. Stone to sea! Root to sky! Our culture lives— It will not die! --- **Final Chorus — Explosive** Remember the blood, remember the flame, Remember the culture, remember the name, We are the storm that was never gone, We are the fire that carries on. No more will we bow to the shame they bring, No more will they cut out the songs we sing, From earth we were born, to our roots we belong, We rise… we reclaim… we remember the song. No more silence. No more chains. No more forgetting. No more shame. The land still knows us. The drums still run. The old ways live— And we stand as one. --- **Outro — Dark Choir Fade** Remember the blood… Remember the flame… Remember the culture… Remember the name… From earth we rose… Through storm we came… The song returns… We guard the flame…
