Viking Runes 2 (Version 2)

Intro

Verse 1 – male vocal

Fjord's iron veil begins to lift

Shadows cast upon the frozen rime

Runes I carved into the harbor stone

Start to glow where the tide no longer climbs

Pre-Chorus – low and chant-like, spoken-word and vocoded

Do you feel it?

Breaking through

The ice, the dark, the iron sound

Rising like a power that will not be bound

Chorus

Ice is breaking beneath my feet

Fjord's awakening from its ancient sleep

Tides return that used to stay

Frozen magic turns and starts to sway

Verse 2 – male vocal

Glacier tongues are moving through the steel

Polar bears emerge where walls once sealed

Ivory horns resound across the waterway

Ceremonial drums awaken night and day

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel it?

Breaking through

The ice, the dark, the iron sound

Rising like a power that will not be bound

Chorus

Ice is breaking beneath my feet

Fjord's awakening from its ancient sleep

Tides return that used to stay

Frozen magic turns and starts to sway

Bridge – sparse and chant-like

No walls can hold the tides we make

When winter's silence breaks to flame

Break free

Let it move you

Feel the ice dissolve into your veins

Into our hearts where myth still reigns

Chorus

Ice is breaking beneath my feet

Fjord's awakening from its ancient sleep

Tides return that used to stay

Frozen magic turns and starts to sway
