Carry On

Intro

Ho-oh-oh

Ho-oh-oh

Verse 1

Born where the winter cuts deeper than a blade

Children learn from silence and promises are made

My father left no kingdom, no silver and no crown

Only an ancient hammer and words I carry now

Pre-Chorus

He said the cold will test you

The world will make you bleed

But strength is not the weapon

It's standing when you need

Chorus

Blood of the North

Run through me tonight

Cold as the ocean

Strong as the northern light

Post-Chorus

I carry the mountains

I carry the sea

A thousand generations

Are breathing inside me

Verse 2

I crossed the frozen rivers

I slept beneath the pine

Watched the seasons bury footprints left behind

No prophecy will guide me

No god will choose my road

The choices that I carry are mine and mine alone

Pre-Chorus

So let the winter find me

Let every cold wind blow

The roots beneath the mountain

Run deeper than the snow

Chorus

Blood of the North

Run through me tonight

Cold as the ocean

Strong as the northern light

Post-Chorus

I carry their stories

But I choose where they end

The past is not my prison

It's the ground on which I stand

Bridge

From father into son

From stone into steel

The hammer keeps its promise

The winter knows how I feel

Chorus

Blood of the North

Run through me tonight

Cold as the ocean

Strong as the northern light

Outro

Blood of the North

We carry on

Blood of the North

We carry on
