Gates of Frost and Flame 3 (Version 2)

Verse

I am the boundary where flame meets frost (flame meets frost)

The border between worlds, the place they can't cross

The earth's skin is burning, the ice at my door (the ice at my door)

Both lands are hungry for what I hold in store

I don't choose which one shall burn and be free (burn and be free)

That choice has been made long before me

Frost giants march on the frozen shore (frozen shore)

Their battle-axe is heavy, their eyes are poor

The fire-giants cross at my fiery gate (fire-giants cross)

Their flames lick higher than any winter's state

I turn no one back; that's not what I create

Pre-Chorus

One world ends while the other one starts (starts)

Can you hear the hammer striking through my heart? (through my heart?)

One door closes, another one opens wide (opens wide)

Let them cross, let them see the light on the other side

Chorus

Gates of frost and flame where worlds collide (frost and flame)

I keep the balance that they cannot find (cannot find)

Hold the heat of fire against the winter's grind

Watch as two realities become one line (one line)

This is my duty, this is what I design

Verse

Surtur's beard flows like wildfire through stone (firestone)

The frost giants march where the northern lights are thrown

I stand at the crossroads, the bridge that I built (bridge I built)

A fiery path where only one can take flight

Freyr and Odin, they come to ask me which way (ask) (which) to go

But I give them no answer, just let them watch it grow

Pre-Chorus

One world ends while the other one starts (starts)

Can you hear the hammer striking through my heart? (through my heart?)

One door closes, another one opens wide (opens wide)

Let them cross, let them see the light on the other side

Chorus

Gates of frost and flame where worlds collide (frost and flame)

I keep the balance that they cannot find (cannot find)

Hold the heat of fire against the winter's grind

Watch as two realities become one line (one line)

This is my duty, this is what I design

Bridge

Not a border — not a line

A threshold to cross and align

No god nor giant can hold me down (not one) (me down)

For every end there's another gate in town

One reality dies while the other starts

And at the center of it all, that's where I stand

Chorus

Gates of frost and flame where worlds collide (frost and flame)

I keep the balance that they cannot find (cannot find)

Hold the heat of fire against the winter's grind

Watch as two realities become one line (one line)

This is my duty, this is what I design
