Ash

Domsgard with Viking Spirit

Translation

Verse 1

Cold iron in my palm

Salt on my knuckles

I was born by black water

Where the crows learn names

Verse 1

Your hall burns in my dream

Your boast turns to ash

I walk with the winter

On a wolf-skin path

Pre-Chorus

Hear the ground

Hear it shake

Take your oath

Then take your blade

Pre-Chorus

My voice is stone

Your fear is foam

We march as one

Back to bone

Chorus

Ashen axe, take the gate

Ashen axe, let it break

We were made for the storm

We were made for the storm

Chorus

Ho, hey

Ho, hey

We were made for the storm

We were made for the storm

Verse 2

My mother sang rage

By the peat fire glow

My father split night

With a single slow blow

Verse 2

Now shields ring like thunder

In a fjord-cold sky

Your gold means nothing

When the raven flies

Pre-Chorus

Hear the ground

Hear it shake

Take your oath

Then take your blade

Pre-Chorus

My voice is stone

Your fear is foam

We march as one

Back to bone

Chorus

Ashen axe, take the gate

Ashen axe, let it break

We were made for the storm

We were made for the storm

Chorus

Ho, hey

Ho, hey

We were made for the storm

We were made for the storm

Eldruna

I spit my fear in the snow

Domsgard

I spit my fear in the snow

Eldruna

Let the dark tide know

Domsgard

Let the dark tide know

All

Ring the horn

Split the dawn

What we lost

Marches on

Final Chorus

Ashen axe, take the gate

Ashen axe, let it break

We were made for the storm

We were made for the storm

Final Chorus

Ho, hey

Ho, hey

We were made for the storm

We were made for the storm
