The Wolves Wear Crowns

Verse

Iron shield against the frozen ground

Last breath rising, not a single sound

Your hand let go of mine at the tree line

Snow already erasing the sign

Raven circles where the axe fell still

Blood and frost across the northern hill

You said find the sun beyond the fjord

I said I'll carry what the fire stored

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the war-horn fade to gray

Every ending has another name

Something in the ash still wants to rise

Chorus

The wolves wear crowns tonight

Bone and starlight, endless fight

Goodbye burning in my chest

Turns to hope beneath the crest

We were kings before we fell

Now we're legend, now we tell

The wolves wear crowns tonight

Bone and starlight, hold the light

Verse

Longship splintered on the granite shore

Names get carved where names lived before

I left your sword stuck in the frozen sand

A promise no one else could understand

Now the fire's just an ember low

Still it burns wherever north winds blow

You are the myth the children learn

I am the ash still waiting to return

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the war-horn fade to gray

Every ending has another name

Something in the ash still wants to rise

Chorus

The wolves wear crowns tonight

Bone and starlight, endless fight

Goodbye burning in my chest

Turns to hope beneath the crest

We were kings before we fell

Now we're legend, now we tell

The wolves wear crowns tonight

Bone and starlight, hold the light

Bridge

Maybe the crown was never gold

Maybe it's just the hands that hold

Maybe the goodbye was just a door

And I've been standing here before

The dawn that says we're more

Chorus

The wolves wear crowns tonight

Bone and starlight, endless fight

Goodbye burning in my chest

Turns to hope beneath the crest

We were kings before we fell

Now we're legend, now we tell

The wolves wear crowns tonight

Bone and starlight, hold the light
