Fjölnir's Debt

Verse

Fjölnir's debt in silver weights by the door.

Three winters trading for a war we never fought before.

Ivar's iron said take it — I took it, I poured it.

Every shield that rusts here is a promise we can't ignore

Pre-Chorus

What price do we put on a name no one's allowed to know?

What interest does a legend owe when the gold won't grow?

Chorus

Fjölnir's debt, iron in my chest — the North remembers this —

Sixty-two ships sailed where our forefathers fixed it.

Ivar's sword and Björn's pride, one ledger, no excuse.

Bjorn Ironside paid the debt that Ragnar never could use

Verse 2

Sigurðr's eyes still burning in every firelit hall.

Hvítserkr's scar is proof the legend stands tall.

Every name I carry here was forged in some tide —

Ubba's fury, Hastein's ruse — we paid it all —

Pre-Chorus

What price do we put on a name no one's allowed to know?

What interest does a legend owe when the gold won't grow?

Chorus

Fjölnir's debt, iron in my chest — the North remembers this —

Sixty-two ships sailed where our forefathers fixed it.

Ivar's sword and Björn's pride, one ledger, no excuse.

Bjorn Ironside paid the debt that Ragnar never could use

Bridge

The South forgets what they owed in every coin that's spent.

They call it plunder — we called it justice lent —

One brother's cold blood and one brother's flame.

Same bloodline paying interest on a name we ain't got a name for.

No gold under this earth will ever wash away the tide.

The water runs deep where the debt was never divided.

Sooner or later someone's ledger turns to pride —

Chorus

Fjölnir's debt, iron in my chest — the North remembers this —

Sixty-two ships sailed where our forefathers fixed it.

Ivar's sword and Björn's pride, one ledger, no excuse.

Bjorn Ironside paid the debt that Ragnar never could use
