Wolf-blood and steel-bright (versione 2)

Verse 1

Fjords of iron run red where your armor cracked

Gnarled black oak splinters on the ice-slick track

I tracked the wolf's footprints through frost and smoke

You chased the silver moon across the lake

The bear-hunting spear lies broken at our feet

Your shadow stretches long upon the glacier's seat

You say I'm mad for wanting what you hold

But every step I take, your honor folds

Pre-Chorus

Let the battle horns blow loud in my ears

I'll follow where they lead till all is clear

Nothing left between us but the fight

And the only thing worth fighting is the light

Chorus

Take it back! Take it back!

Steel and wolf's blood, we're on the track!

Cut through darkness to the silver dawn

Take it back!

Take it back!

The wolf's at my shoulder, we don't ask for more!

Verse 2

Your father's iron will in every sword you wield

But mine is forged in fire that burns when he yields

You think your kin has owned this land forevermore

I say our pack just waits until the time is sore

We'll chase the northern lights across the frozen sea

And where your steel fails, I'll run it back to thee

The wind-torn banners stream behind me like a river

Every blow that lands will bring you closer to the giver

Pre-Chorus

Let the battle horns blow loud in my ears

I'll follow where they lead till all is clear

Nothing left between us but the fight

And the only thing worth fighting is the light

Chorus

Take it back! Take it back!

Steel and wolf's blood, we're on the track!

Cut through darkness to the silver dawn

Take it back!

Take it back!

The wolf's at my shoulder, we don't ask for more!

Bridge

No more words of steel or promise in your eyes

Only one thing left — to let us both divide

This endless winter, this long dark road

Where only one of us will walk alone

Chorus

Take it back! Take it back!

Steel and wolf's blood, we're on the track!

Cut through darkness to the silver dawn

Take it back!

Take it back!

The wolf's at my shoulder, we don't ask for more!
