Bury Me in Thunder

Verse

Salt wind cuts the fjord in half

Your shield stays, but you don't laugh

Ash falls soft on frozen ground

Last drum before the horn's last sound

I braid your hair with iron thread

Count the scars instead of dread

Raven watches from the pine

You say the gods will hold the line

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the ice begin to crack

Every ending calling something back

Something rising underneath the frost

Chorus

Bury me in thunder

Let the sky split wide in two

Bury me in thunder

I'll ride the storm back home to you

Not with weeping, not with sorrow

Just the drums of one more dawn

Bury me in thunder

This is not the end, we've just moved on

Verse

Torches gutter in the hall

Empty benches, empty shawl

They carve your name in whalebone white

Set it burning toward the light

The children ask where warriors go

I tell them what the elders know

The mountains keep the ones who fall

And thunder answers to them all

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the ice begin to crack

Every ending calling something back

Something rising underneath the frost

Chorus

Bury me in thunder

Let the sky split wide in two

Bury me in thunder

I'll ride the storm back home to you

Not with weeping, not with sorrow

Just the drums of one more dawn

Bury me in thunder

This is not the end, we've just moved on

Bridge

No grave can hold a name this loud

No stone can dim a burning shroud

I'll find you in the northern flame

Every echo knows your name

The war is done, the fear is gone

What was broken carries on

Chorus

Bury me in thunder

Let the sky split wide in two

Bury me in thunder

I'll ride the storm back home to you

Not with weeping, not with sorrow

Just the drums of one more dawn

Bury me in thunder

This is not the end, we've just moved on
