Where Gods Refuse to Kneel

Verse

Frost is climbing up the iron of my spear

Breath like smoke against the dying year

Shield arm shaking but I hold the line

Blood on snowbanks, marking territory mine

Wolves are circling where the fire went out

I keep the ember lit without a doubt

Every scar here is a map I've drawn

Standing on the ground my fathers stood upon

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the drums beneath the frozen ground

Every heartbeat is a war I haven't found

Something in my chest refusing to be still

Chorus

I hold this fire, I won't let it fade

This is the vow that the wolves have made

No throne can break what my blood can feel

We stand together where gods refuse to kneel

Steel against the winter, bone against the steel

This is the fire that the gods can't kneel

Carved into the marrow, carved into the wheel

We stand together where gods refuse to kneel

Verse

Cracked horn echoing off the mountainside

Torches drowning where the black tide rides

Every banner torn but still it flies

Ash between my fingers, embers in my eyes

The valley remembers every name we kept

Every promise that the north wind swept

I plant my heel in the frozen clay

This is the ground where the old gods stay

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the drums beneath the frozen ground

Every heartbeat is a war I haven't found

Something in my chest refusing to be still

Chorus

I hold this fire, I won't let it fade

This is the vow that the wolves have made

No throne can break what my blood can feel

We stand together where gods refuse to kneel

Steel against the winter, bone against the steel

This is the fire that the gods can't kneel

Carved into the marrow, carved into the wheel

We stand together where gods refuse to kneel

Bridge

I've buried brothers in the frozen earth

Watched the sky forget what fire is worth

But something underneath refused to sleep

A single ember buried in the deep

It caught. It climbed. It broke the frost apart

This is the flame that lives inside my heart

Chorus

I hold this fire, I won't let it fade

This is the vow that the wolves have made

No throne can break what my blood can feel

We stand together where gods refuse to kneel

Steel against the winter, bone against the steel

This is the fire that the gods can't kneel

Carved into the marrow, carved into the wheel

We stand together where gods refuse to kneel
