Oaths of the Old North Track 11 2026

Know Our Name

Domsgard with Viking Spirit & Rúnvyr

Translation

Verse 1
We rose from black water
With ash on our hands
Steel in the dawn mist
And frost in our plans
Mother of ravens
Mark us in bone
We left our graves empty
Now we march home

Pre-Chorus
Hear the lur call
From the high ridge line
Foot by foot
We claim the line
Tagelharpa weeps
Through the hard night air
My blood, your blood
We are already there

Chorus
Hail the wolf-ship
Cut the sea
Hail the wolf-ship
Ride with me
Stone by stone
We break their wall
Hail the wolf-ship
Rise, or fall

Verse 2
Their torches shake
By the alder gate
We feed the dark
And sharpen fate
Bone flute crying
Like winter birds
Your name on my tongue
Is a blade, not words

Pre-Chorus
Hear the lur call
From the high ridge line
Foot by foot
We claim the line
Drums go harder
When the red war starts
My blood, your blood
Beat as one heart

Chorus
Hail the wolf-ship
Cut the sea
Hail the wolf-ship
Ride with me
Stone by stone
We break their wall
Hail the wolf-ship
Rise, or fall

Bridge
No king above us
No plea, no chain
Only the old oath
And the cold rain
Jaw harp biting
At the edge of night
We sing to the graves
Then we take the fight

Final Chorus
Hail the wolf-ship
Cut the sea
Hail the wolf-ship
Ride with me
Stone by stone
We break their wall
Hail the wolf-ship
Rise, or fall

Final Chorus
Hail the wolf-ship
Hear us roar
Hail the wolf-ship
At their door
Blood on the shield
And ice in flame
Hail the wolf-ship
Know our name
