Heave Ho Blood and Snow

Verse 1

Frost

Heavy on the hemlock

Wolves wait by the gray river

Ice

Biting at the leather boots

We march

The mountain wind makes a hollow sound

Black birds watch from the pine branches

Cold

Bone cold

Chorus

Iron is the only truth we hold

Iron is the only truth we hold

The hammer falls

The hammer falls

Redemption in the metal

Redemption in the metal

Iron is the only truth

Post-Chorus

Heave

Ho

Blood

Snow

Heave

Ho

Verse 2

Steel

Bright against the timber

Shatter every hollow promise

Salt

Stinging in the open cut

My kin

We bear the weight of the ancient grudge

The sky turns the color of a bruised plum

Sharp

Quick sharp

No mercy for the liars tonight

No mercy for the thieves tonight

No mercy for the weak tonight

Strike

Hard strike

Chorus

Iron is the only truth we hold

Iron is the only truth we hold

The hammer falls

The hammer falls

Redemption in the metal

Redemption in the metal

Iron is the only truth

Bridge

Vindication

Vindication

Vindication

Written in the heavy dust

Written in the jagged rust

Written in the broken crust

Paid in full

Paid in full

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Iron is the only truth we hold

Iron is the only truth we hold

The hammer falls

The hammer falls

Redemption in the metal

Redemption in the metal

Iron is the only truth

Outro

The weight

The cold

The iron

It remains

It remains

It remains

Silence

Deep silence
