Every gift is carved in cost. When the fields fall silent You will answer for the lost. Call the storm into my veins Let the lightning break my chains If I rise, I rise through flame Not for crown — but for his name When the ravens cross the sky When the war horns cry I will stand before them all Until the Valkyries call I stepped beneath the carved oak beams Stormlight burning through my veins Silence settled on the fire No one spoke within the flames You speak of sons as if they’re iron You speak of fate as if it’s stone Bend your will before my command Or watch your lineage fall alone When the last blade finds its rest When no more banners rise Peace will come without a warning Written in their eyes I do not beg for longer days Nor fear what waits beyond I was forged beneath the thunder And thunder is my bond Call the storm into my veins Let the lightning break my chains If I rise, I rise through flame Not for crown — but for his name When the ravens cross the sky When the war horns cry I will lead them through it all Until the Valkyries call
