NEW STUFF - EPIC SIDE B SONGS Guard Of The NORTHERN Shore - Lyrics by Rune Sounds feat. AiRadio197.2FM [Intro] [Instrumental: slow war drums, distant horns, rising twin guitars, wordless choir] [Verse 1: Male] The harbor froze beneath a moon of iron gray, Old Eirik barred the door and bid the flames obey. Then came the keel through sleet, its sail a burial shroud, And footprints crossed the shore though no one walked aloud. [Verse 2: Female] I took my father’s blade from where the rafters hid, The runes along its edge recalled what winter did. You stood beside me, shield to shield against the tide, While ancient hands came reaching from the brine. [Pre-Chorus: Duet] Raise the ashwood, lock the gate, Hold your ground; the hour is late. Hear the buried answer call— We are here, and we will not fall! [Chorus: Duet] Draugr rise, but we stand higher! Hearts are hammers, souls are fire! Side by side through storm and stone, We defend the ones we call our own! Draugr rise, let winter roar— We will guard this northern shore! [Instrumental: galloping guitars, brass fanfare, wordless choir] [Verse 3: Male] The first one wore a crown of kelp and splintered bone, It dragged a rusted axe across the frozen stones. I met its hollow stare and felt the old fear bite, Then heard your voice cut cleanly through the night. [Verse 4: Female] I struck the chain that bound it to the drowned king’s name, The black surf flared; the hillside answered flame. You caught my arm as broken timbers filled the air, And turned with me to meet the host upon the stair. [Pre-Chorus: Duet] Raise the ashwood, lock the gate, Hold your ground; the hour is late. Hear the buried answer call— We are here, and we will not fall! [Chorus: Duet] Draugr rise, but we stand higher! Hearts are hammers, souls are fire! Side by side through storm and stone, We defend the ones we call our own! Draugr rise, let winter roar— We will guard this northern shore! [Bridge: Female] When the last torch gutters low, When the black waves climb the snow, Take my hand and speak your name— Two against the dead remain. [Bridge: Male] If the dawn forgets to come, Still our vow will sound as one. No cold grave can claim this land While we rise and make our stand! [Instrumental: extended twin-guitar solo, orchestral build, pounding drums] [Breakdown: Duet] For the hearth! For the kin! Let the living hold the line! For the shore! For the dawn! Drive the dead back to the storm! [Final Chorus: Duet] Draugr rise, but we stand higher! Hearts are hammers, souls are fire! Side by side through storm and stone, We defend the ones we call our own! Draugr rise, let winter roar— We will guard this northern shore! Draugr rise, but we stand higher! Shoulder to shoulder, flame to fire! When the sea gives up its throne, We’ll still be standing, still at home! [Outro] [Duet] We will guard this northern shore! We will guard this northern shore! [Instrumental: triumphant guitar harmonies, horns, choir, final sustained chord] #nordicmusic #vikingmetal #powermetal #nordicsound #vikingsaga #aimusic #vikingmusic #airadio
