Generated with AI Songtext "March of the Old Blood" [VERSE 1] Step through mud where cold winds bite Shields held close in morning light No man walks this road alone Iron sings in flesh and bone [VERSE 2] Brothers breathe where war drums call Shoulder tight, we do not fall Fear may crawl beneath the skin Still the old blood burns within [VERSE 3] Mothers gave us names to keep Fathers taught the roots run deep Every oath beneath the sun Lives inside what must be done [VERSE 4] Ravens wait above the field No soft hand will break our shield If death comes with open jaws We meet it standing for our cause [HOOK] March on, hearts of stone None shall stand alone Steel high, fear low Through the storm we go March on, hearts of stone None shall stand alone Steel high, fear low Through the storm we go [VERSE 5] Hear the horns split grey skies wide Feel the gods walk at our side Thor in thunder, Tyr in law Odin watching what we saw [VERSE 6] No crown bought the blood we bear No king owns the breath we share We fight for hall and kin and flame For every child that knows our name [VERSE 7] Trembling hands still grip the spear Courage is not lack of fear Courage walks though fear may stay And keeps the shield from turning away [HOOK] March on, hearts of stone None shall stand alone Steel high, fear low Through the storm we go March on, hearts of stone None shall stand alone Steel high, fear low Through the storm we go [VERSE 8] Let the weak speak soft of fate We carve ours before the gate Every footstep shakes the ground Every voice becomes one sound [VERSE 9] If one falls, the line stays strong If ten fall, we march along Not because our hearts are cold But because our oaths still hold [VERSE 10] Skalds will know who stood this day Who held fast and who gave way Names are forged where brave men bleed Songs are born from iron deeds [HOOK] March on, hearts of stone None shall stand alone Steel high, fear low Through the storm we go March on, hearts of stone None shall stand alone Steel high, fear low Through the storm we go [VERSE / BRIDGE] Beat the shields and wake the plain Let the war drums answer rain Breath by breath and stride by stride We become the rising tide [HOOK / OUTRO] March on, hearts of stone None shall stand alone Steel high, fear low Through the storm we go March on, hearts of stone None shall stand alone Steel high, fear low Through the storm we go
