Carry On

Verse 1

I climbed the ash tree at dawn

Roots reaching down where the serpents gnaw

Odin traded his eye for the well

And I traded my peace for the swell

Pre-Chorus

Wolves howl across the frozen fjord

Ravens circle overhead

Chorus

Thor's hammer falls on the mountain stone

But the thunder never reaches home

Freya weeps for the warriors gone

And I sing to gods who carry on

Post-Chorus

Carry on

Carry on

Verse 2

Valhalla waits with its golden halls

For the brave who answer battle's call

But I sit here by the dying fire

Wondering what the Norns require

Pre-Chorus

Yggdrasil bends beneath the storm

The world tree shivers cold

Chorus

Thor's hammer falls on the mountain stone

But the thunder never reaches home

Freya weeps for the warriors gone

And I sing to gods who carry on

Bridge

Loki's whispers in the northern wind

Fenrir's chains are wearing thin

Ragnarök comes on frozen wings

Even gods must feel these things

Chorus

Thor's hammer falls on the mountain stone

But the thunder never reaches home

Freya weeps for the warriors gone

And I sing to gods who carry on

(Who carry on)

(Who carry on)
