Raven Oath

[Verse 1]
[M] We came in ash and iron
On shields that bled the dawn
Cold salt on our breath
Still we marched on

[F] Wolf-cry in the harbor
Fire in the mast
Names carved in bone
And we do not pass

[M] Mud on the boots, storm in the head
Sword on the hip, we rise from the dead
Every old wound still speaks to me
But I wear the scar like a family crest

[Pre-Chorus]
[F] Hear the horns
[M] Feel the ground
[F] Old gods watch
[M] We hold the crown
[F] One more breath
[M] One more fight
[F] Lift your blade
[M] Take the night

[Chorus]
Raven oath!
We rise, we rise
Raven oath!
Burn through the skies

Raven oath!
Blood to the drum
Raven oath!
We are the storm

[Verse 2]
[M] Ice in the beard, flame in the stare
We sailed through death like it owed us air
Hand on the helm, eye on the black
If the sea takes one, we take one back

[F] I sing for the fallen
You answer the call
From fjord to battlefield
We stand or fall

[M] No throne, no mercy, no soft goodbye
Only the forge and the sharpened sky
If my name goes dark in the snow tonight
Let it ring in the steel when the hammers strike

[Pre-Chorus]
[F] Hear the horns
[M] Feel the ground
[F] Old gods watch
[M] We hold the crown
[F] One more breath
[M] One more fight
[F] Lift your blade
[M] Take the night

[Chorus]
Raven oath!
We rise, we rise
Raven oath!
Burn through the skies

Raven oath!
Blood to the drum
Raven oath!
We are the storm

[Bridge]
[M] I was born in the break of shields
[F] I was raised on the edge of steel
[M] If the world wants my final breath
[F] Then the world can learn how we feel

[M] One last run
[F] One last roar
[M] Break the gate
[F] And settle the score

[Final Chorus]
Raven oath!
We rise, we rise
Raven oath!
Burn through the skies

Raven oath!
Blood to the drum
Raven oath!
We are the storm

Raven oath!
Sing it loud
Raven oath!
We bring the thunder down
