Hammer and Flame

Intro

Hey! Hey!

(Raise the shield!)

Verse 1

Cold wind cuts across the fjord tonight

My brothers row against the tide

Salt on my beard and iron in my hand

We sail where the ravens fly

No king commands this longship

No chains around my name

The storm is just another foe

That we were born to tame

Chorus

Row! Row! Row to the thunder

Row! Row! Row till we fall

Blood and thunder call us homeward

Row! Row! Row through it all

Post-Chorus

Hey! Hey! (Hey! Hey!)

Raise the shield and stand!

Hey! Hey! (Hey! Hey!)

We are the northern band!

Verse 2

The skalds will sing of this crossing

Of the hammer and the flame

My father's axe still whispers

A single sacred name

We carve our fate in oak and bone

We laugh at waves and war

The sea has swallowed braver men

And asked for even more

Chorus

Row! Row! Row to the thunder

Row! Row! Row till we fall

Blood and thunder call us homeward

Row! Row! Row through it all

Post-Chorus

Hey! Hey! (Hey! Hey!)

Raise the shield and stand!

Hey! Hey! (Hey! Hey!)

We are the northern band!

Bridge

Fight the frost

Face the fear

Feed the fire

Hold the line

Chorus

Row! Row! Row to the thunder

Row! Row! Row till we fall

Blood and thunder call us homeward

Row! Row! Row through it all

Post-Chorus

Hey! Hey! (Hey! Hey!)

Raise the shield and stand!

Hey! Hey! (Hey! Hey!)

We are the northern band!
