Oh-ohhh! Oh-ohhh! Oh-ohhh!

Oh-ohhh! Oh-ohhh! Oh-ohhh!

Oh-ohhh! Oh-ohhh! Oh-ohhh!

Oh-ohhh! Oh-ohhh! Oh-ohhh!

**\[Verse I]**

They came with fire, wolves in the night

Burned our halls, drowned our light

Steel cracked bone, and blood met stone

Yet I stood, though I stood alone

**\[Pre-Chorus]**

Ashes in my beard, scars on my chest

Odin watched me, put me to the test

The ground drank deep, my brothers fell

But I rose again from the mouth of Hel

**\[Chorus]**

Beaten, but I will always stand up

With broken fists, I raise my cup

To the gods who never cry

To the flames that never die

Beaten, but my will is a blade

Forged in loss, in war repaid

**\[Verse II]**

They chained my soul, dragged me far

Through storm-split seas under foreign stars

But my rage is carved in runes of frost

And my name will echo what they lost

**\[Bridge – Spoken/Growled over slow riff]**

You can cut the tree, but not its roots

You can steal my sword, but not my truth

I wear defeat like a battle cloak

I laugh through blood with every stroke

**\[Breakdown – Chant-style]**

Stand up! Rise again!

Bones may break, but not the men

Stand up! Ride the flame!

We are storm, we are the name

**\[Final Chorus – Full epic instrumentation]**

Beaten, but I will always stand up

Through shattered shields and bloodied luck

The gods will see me never kneel

In pain, in loss — I forge my steel

Beaten, but I rise with the sun

A thousand battles, and I'm not done

**\[Outro – Clean vocals or slow fade with acoustic guitar/drum march]**

The saga's not done...

This warrior still runs...

Beaten, but never gone.

They chained my soul, dragged me far

Through storm-split seas under foreign stars

But my rage is carved in runes of frost

And my name will echo what they lost

You can cut the tree, but not its roots

You can steal my sword, but not my truth

I wear defeat like a battle cloak

I laugh through blood with every stroke

**\[ Breakdown – Chant-style]**

Stand up! Rise again!

Bones may break, but not the men

Stand up! Ride the flame!

We are storm, we are the name

Beaten, but I will always stand up

Through shattered shields and bloodied luck

The gods will see me never kneel

In pain, in loss — I forge my steel

Beaten, but I rise with the sun

A thousand battles, and I'm not done

The saga's not done...

This warrior still runs...

Beaten, but never gone.
