NORTHERN HEART

Winter carried ancient names Love outlived the years and flames Beneath the stars We made our vow And still we keep it now Yeah, Yeah The sea had hardened both my hands Through broken years and changing lands I watched old brothers fade away And kingdoms slowly Lose their way Yet through the grief and bitter snow The northern fire refused to go I kept the memories deep inside And held our Promise through the night Through joy and loss, Through war and pain We chose each other once Again The years could wound but never steal The Vows we carry deep and real Steel may break Hey Kingdoms may fall Hey Still a northern heart Stands tall Hey Through the loss, Through the pain Love remembers every name Never Lost, never gone Ancient promises live on Never Broken by the night Northern hearts still hold the Light Yeah I buried brothers one by one And Watched the age of kings undone But even ashes Taught me this Some things survive what others miss When sorrow settled in your soul I became the fire in the cold Huh And When the darkness came for me You stood like cliffs beside the sea No throne Remained, no banners flew But still our faithful Spirits grew The world around us turned to dust But never what was built on trust Crowns may Fade And empires die But loyal hearts outlive the Tide For memory is stronger still Than shattered Swords upon the hill We carry those who came Before Inside our souls forevermore And love that learns to walk through pain Will Never bow to loss or rain I saw the Shields break I saw proud kings disappear I heard the cries of dying ages And still our oath remained here I watched the long winters return I watched the old world fall apart But no Storm beneath these heavens Could silence a northern Heart Not the ashes Not the sorrow Not the Endless Frozen rain For we remember We Endure And we still love Again and again Steel may break And kingdoms crumble But the hearts Of the north remember all They remember names They Remember promises They remember love when others let It fall For true strength was never found in Thrones Nor in crowns that vanish with the years It was born inside the souls that stayed together And kept on loving through their tears As long As northern hearts still beat beneath the stars The Spirit of the north shall never Fade The mountains remain The mountains Remain The old vows remain And so do we, Yeah Hey, yeah
