Ragnarok in My Bones (version 2)

Intro

Verse

Blood in the snowdrifts where my ancestors fell

The frost remembers their names better than I do myself

Grandfather's axe head hung on a wall in our hall

I was a boy and never understood that he stood tall

Every storm makes me wonder if it's time to die

The wind has a voice older than my father's own voice

I build a fire, burn wood slow like a rite of old

Not for comfort — it's what keeps the dark from breaking through

Pre-Chorus

What if this is the last winter we survive?

What if tomorrow takes every name alive?

Chorus

Can you feel Ragnarok in your bones tonight?

Every flame burns just a little less bright

Verse

I look for omens hidden behind the frozen lake

A shape of frost like a wolf's head, the same one my clan would make

The old man who taught me this never carried a sword

He said only fear could turn to steel — nothing more

Every war is just the winter wearing armor too

The Norns don't write names on paper — they carve them in blood and dew

I'm not running from it, I'm standing like the ash trees stand

Because when the fire finally goes dark, that's Ragnarok's hand

Pre-Chorus

What if this is the last winter we survive?

What if tomorrow takes every name alive?

Chorus

Can you feel Ragnarok in your bones tonight?

Every flame burns just a little less bright

Bridge

It's not about winning, it's about standing still

Outro

This is Ragnarok in my bones tonight
