Lyrics

[Verse 1] I came up through ash and stone With a mark carved in my bone Cold iron sang my name And I answered in the flame

Night wolves howled at the gate I did not bow, I did not wait I wore the storm like steel Turned the wound into my shield

[Pre-Chorus] Hear the horn in the dark Strike a spark, strike a spark Raise the blade to the sky We were born to survive

[Chorus] Rise, iron oath, rise Burn through the black skies Rise, iron oath, rise No chain can hold my mind (iron oath) (iron oath) We march where thunder goes Rise, iron oath, rise And let the old world know

[Verse 2] By the river of the dead I saw crowns fall from the head Kings with dust on their tongues While the chosen kept their drums

I took salt and sacred flame Wrote my vow inside the rain If the mountain calls my name I will answer just the same

[Pre-Chorus] Hear the horn in the dark Strike a spark, strike a spark Raise the blade to the sky We were born to survive

[Bridge] [Power pause] Stand still One breath One sign Then the gates align

I am the rune I am the vow I was forged in the howl Now

[Final Chorus] Rise, iron oath, rise Burn through the black skies Rise, iron oath, rise No chain can hold my mind (iron oath) (iron oath) We march where thunder goes Rise, iron oath, rise And let the old world know
