Gods on the River

Intro

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Heave the wood

Pull the line

Break the foam

Verse 1

White foam breaks against the blackened hull

Crows are circling high above my head

Iron ring biting deep into the leather

Mother said I would find a glory shore

Across the river where the ghosts remain

Deep water dragging at the heavy pine

Ice forming on the edges of the blade

Thousand miles till the sunrise comes back

Pre-Chorus

Sky turning purple and gold

Voices calling through the spray

I feel the thunder rising

Thunder rising in my veins

Chorus

Heir to the lightning and the hammer

Son of the eagle and the storm

Waves high as the mountain peak

Strong as the brothers by my side

Heir to the lightning and the hammer

Carving our names into the swell

Blood in the salt of the spray

Gold in the light of the fire

Heir to the lightning

Post-Chorus

Rowing on the silver

Rowing on the tide

Oh-oh

On the tide

Verse 2

Centaur shadows galloping the jagged shore

Distant clouds echoing with olympian roar

Steel flashes like the stars at night

I saw a goddess in the mist

Gold threads hanging from her crown

Zeus shouting from the marble heights

While we grip the splintering wood

Two worlds meet in the middle

Pre-Chorus

Steel against the ancient bronze

Chanting till the dawn arrives

We are the heavy sound

Power in the deep breath

Chorus

Heir to the lightning and the hammer

Son of the eagle and the storm

Waves high as the mountain peak

Strong as the brothers by my side

Heir to the lightning and the hammer

Carving our names into the swell

Blood in the salt of the spray

Gold in the light of the fire

Heir to the lightning

Bridge

I hear her voice

I hear her song

High above the crashing peaks

Sisters of the golden harp

Brothers of the iron fist

The gods are watching

Odin smiles

Zeus descends

The river flows with red tonight

River flows to the deep sea

Chorus

Heir to the lightning and the hammer

Son of the eagle and the storm

Waves high as the mountain peak

Strong as the brothers by my side

Heir to the lightning and the hammer

Carving our names into the swell

Blood in the salt of the spray

Gold in the light of the fire

Heir to the lightning

Drop

Row on

Row on

Pull the heavy weight

Feel the power rise

Pull the heavy weight

Pull for the hall

Pull for the hall
