Frosthelm Requiem 2 (έκδοση 2)

Verse 1 – cold male hushed baritone

Frostbitten fingers press the rim of gold (gold)

Iron hinges crack as the helm is told (told)

My son brings it to me at dawn's first light (light)

Last breath of frost in a winter without end (end)

He found it buried under snow and earth (earth) (uh-oh!)

Forged where rivers ran with iron and mirth (mirth)

A helmet built for war that never came

Only left behind as the cold gave claim

On its brow, an emblem still unbroken – our name (name)

He asks what it means, what was fought in vain (vain) (vain)

What were the battles, why is it named again? (again) (again!)

I just look at him through frost on frozen pane

Smile slow and tell him the whole world's a game (game) (game!)

Pre-Chorus – low growled murmur

Feel the weight of what was never won (won)

Hear the whisper in every iron run

You carry on, keep it cold as stone (stone)

This is your birthright — turn it to bone (bone) (bone!)

Frostbitten fingers grip and I don't let go (go) (go!)

Chorus – hushed baritone

I teach him how to be silent like the ice

To hold a secret in his frozen vice

Frosthelm requiem, every line a test

Hold what we lost, keep it locked within his chest (chest)

This is your legacy — do not let it thaw

Keep the cold of battle in this helmet and law (law) (law!)

Frostbitten fingers on the rim he never knew

Teach him how to hold a thing that's been through (through)

Verse 2 – hushed baritone

He learns to read the frost that forms each dawn (dawn)

To recognize the patterns, every inch gone wrong

I tell him of the wars his fathers fought before

How they lost their honor in an endless, frozen roar (roar)

He asks me why I keep this heavy thing (thing) (thing!)

What's the point of holding on to something that stings? (stings)

I say it's not the victory he must recall (recall) (recall!)
