Garm on the line (έκδοση 2)

Intro

(Garm's on the line! Garm's on the line!)

Verse 1

I stood where the wolf ran free, between nine worlds' heavy weight.

Berserker rage in every vein and a law to set aright.

No hammer swung for me — just one hand I'd extend.

The All-Father watched with interest as the cycle turned again.

Fenrir broke my wrist clean through bone, not an inch short of true.

Still the chain held fast, still order stood when chaos pulled loose.

I didn't mourn what was lost; I only counted every gain.

Every drop of blood kept the wolves from spilling out into the plain.

So if you ask me why I never raised a sword or shield

Say it's not cowardice — say it's what my word can yield

Chorus

Garm on the line, holding him down (holding him down!)

Tiwaz rune carved in every skull, still standing tall and crowned

Verse 2

Now that Jörmungandr is free to slide through the seas.

Now Thor's gone to find the apples — left me nothing but these.

I kept the wolf on a chain for the sake of nine worlds' peace.

Let him think that Mjölnir won where I only chose to cease.

If the bravest thing costs what you can't afford to lose then

Maybe it was worth breaking my hand, and every time I choose

Pre-Chorus

Garm still remembers the feel of my wrist in his jaw.

(Gleipnir... gleipnir...) I don't blame him for not wanting less now.

Still the chain holds fast — that's all it needs to do.

I'm the one who kept order when every line came through

Chorus

Garm on the line, holding him down (holding him down!)

Tiwaz rune carved in every skull, still standing tall and crowned

Bridge

I never swung for victory — only bound for what's right.

Every law I enforced made the whole nine-worlds' tree stand a little brighter in light.

I may have lost my hand but that was a trade to make.

If keeping the wolf in line gave order its own life at stake

Outro

(Garm on the line!) That's the bravest thing any man can do.

Not swinging Mjölnir — just standing true.
