Rise Through the Shadow
Valhalla Ragnarok
Out of the night, through the freezing rain
We rise with fire in our veins
One bow cuts the dark like a blade
One song wakes the ancient name
I came from the cold, where the dead winds speak
With frost on my hands and the storm at my feet
No crown, no throne, just a soul made steel
And a scar that taught my heart to heal
Every shadow tried to pull me below
Every ghost said: Let go, let go
But the violin struck like thunder in bone
And I remember I was never alone
I walked through the smoke of a thousand years
With ash on my lips and no room for fear
The Moon watched me bleed, but I would not fall
I heard my ancestors inside the call
One string cried, and the heavens burn
One fast rhythm made the darkness turn
From the black of the storm to the edge of the dawn
I kept my spirit moving on
We are the oath in the frozen air
We are the fire that the night can't bear
We are the bloodline, fierce and free
We are the storm, we are the sea
Rise, rise, through the shadow
Run, run, where the wild winds go
Heart like iron, soul like flame
We carry the old world in our name
Rise, rise, with the fearless
Stand, stand, through the cold and the pain
One violin, one war cry
We come alive, we come alive again
Through ice, through fire
Through night, rise higher!
Fast bow slicing like a blade in the dark
No drum needed when it hits the heart
Footstep heavy on the frozen stone
But the rhythm lives in the violin alone
I don't run from the wolves at the gate
I don't bow to the weight of fate
I was built from the storm and the flame
Say my name, say my name, say my name
Let the cold break against my skin
Let the night try to drag me in
I have crossed too far to kneel
I have learned how the brave ones heal
In the silence, the string still screams
Like a raven flying through my dreams
Every note is a battle sign
Every breath says the dawn is mine
One sound in the dark
One flame in the snow
One vow in the heart
One path we know
Rise, rise, through the shadow
Run, run, where the wild winds go
Heart like iron, soul like flame
We carry the old world in our name
Rise, rise, with the fearless
Stand, stand, through the cold and the pain
One violin, one war cry
We come alive, we come alive again
When the world turns cold and hollow
I will lead where spirits follow
Not afraid of what has been
I was born to rise again
When the dark surrounds the mountain
I will drink from fire's fountain
Not defeated, not undone
I will stand beneath the Sun
Rise, rise, through the shadow
Run, run, where the wild winds go
Heart like iron, soul like flame
We carry the old world in our name
Rise, rise, with the fearless
Stand, stand, through the cold and the pain
One violin, one war cry
We come alive, we come alive again
We come alive again
Out of the night, through the freezing rain
We rise with fire in our veins
One bow cuts the dark like a blade
One song wakes the ancient name
