Cold House on Cold Street (wersja 2)

Intro

Street lights flicker through the mist

Eiríkr's boots on frozen bit

Verse 1 – Eiríkr

Fourteen winters in a cold house cellar

Stove pipe steaming past the water seller

Mum was cooking beans when I came back walking

Said the city moved and left my blood talking

Pre-Chorus

Every scar's a map the young still waiting

Watch it spread like frost along the railing

Chorus

Cold house on cold street, fire in my chest

Broke the winter for what was never best

Left the door open when I walked away

Said come back when you've earned some daylight

Verse 2 – Gunnhildr

Ten years later — Eiríkr's name still ringing

Boots on every doorstep where his boots lingering

Stainmore was the start of something colder

Bloodaxe is a legacy, not a border

Pre-Chorus

Every scar's a map the young still waiting

Watch it spread like frost along the railing

Chorus

Cold house on cold street, fire in my chest

Broke the winter for what was never best

Left the door open when I walked away

Said come back when you've earned some daylight

Bridge

Not a cry for help — that's just survival

Ask the wind where the last warmth is living

I built something hard to break and keep it

Every cold street has its own version of a leap

Outro – Eiríkr, Gunnhildr together

Cold house still standing through the frost

Doors swing open when the cold gets lost
