[Verse 1] On the edge of the world where the cold winds moan Ten thousand ships leave the ancient throne Frozen breath on the iron rail Every heart like a hammer on the nail [Chorus] We’re chasing the dawn through the dark and the foam Through rivers that twist Through fjords carved in stone With the compass of fate and the stars burning on If the world falls away We keep chasing the dawn (hey!) [Verse 2] Snowblind spray on the weathered mast Old runes carved in the oaken cast Every name that we love Every war we recall In the creak of the keel In the gulls as they call [Chorus] We’re chasing the dawn through the dark and the foam Through rivers that twist Through fjords carved in stone With the compass of fate and the stars burning on If the world falls away We keep chasing the dawn [Bridge] If the sky splits open If the sea runs red We will still row forward Where the sunrise bled [Chorus] We’re chasing the dawn through the dark and the foam Through rivers that twist Through fjords carved in stone With the compass of fate and the stars burning on If the world falls away We keep chasing the dawn (oh) If the world falls away We keep chasing the dawn
