They tried to say I wasn't
But listen close
This is the sound!
(Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo, lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo)
(Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo, lo-lo-lo-lo) hey, hey, hey, hey
They spoke from the outside (blow), looking in through the gate
Said I don't carry the blood, said I don't carry the fate
But I rose from the barrow where the old ones sleep
Iron in my skeleton, promises I keep
I'm Viking-born, draugr soul, walking between worlds
Carving my truth into stone, breaking all your rules
Frost on my breath, and the winter in my eyes
When I open my mouth, yeah, the whole sky cries
I don't walk the path where the living stay soft
I'm the storm that arrives when you think you're far off
And when the horn sounds, you don't hear just me
It's the echo of kin, it's the whole family (hey!)
Shoulder to shoulder, shield wall tight
We don't run from the battle, we bring the fight
You thought it was one man? Nah, look at the line
Every time I call, they arrive right on time
I am the draugr (hey), I am Viking true
When I lift my voice, my people come through
From the mound to the street, from the sea to the shore
We stand as one, we are stronger than war
You cannot control us, you cannot divide (hey)
We stand with the power, we stand with pride
My call is the bassline, my call is the law
When I roar in the track, you will know who we are
(Ay, hey!) I am the draugr
(Ay, ay, hey!) I am the draugr
(Ay) I am the draugr
(Ay) I am Viking true
When I lift my voice, my people come through
I hold the runes (hey), I hold the weight of the years
I turn all your threats into nothing but fears
You try to command (hey), try to take what is ours
We're the rising tide, we're the crushing powers
Ghost in the machine, spirit in the flow (hey)
Where the cold winds go, that is where I go (hey)
Not a storybook tale, not a myth on the page
I'm the fire in the dark, I'm the rage in the cage (hey)
Released when I call, see the ranks fill up fast
Every brother and sister, we were built to last
You see one face (hey), but you feel the whole tribe
We don't break under pressure, we don't bend or die
We're the shadow that lengthens when the sun goes down
The sound that you hear when the walls come 'round
I speak the old tongue over modern beats
This is our legacy underneath our feet
They said, "You are not us"
I said, "Watch the rise"
They said, "You are alone"
I said, "Look at the sky"
Control is a chain, and we snapped it in two
My people are here, and they're loyal and true
From the north, from the south, wherever we stand
This is our ground, this is our land
When I call, they rise
When I call, they rise
I am the draugr (hey), I am Viking true
When I lift my voice, my people come through
From the mound to the street, from the sea to the shore
We stand as one, we are stronger than war
You cannot control us, you cannot divide (hey)
We stand with the power, we stand with pride
My call is the bassline, my call is the law
When I roar in the track, you will know who we are
(Ay, hey!) I am the draugr
(Ay, hey!) I am the draugr
(Ay) I am the draugr
(Ay) I am Viking true
When I lift my voice, my people come through (hey!)
(Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo) one call (hey)
(Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo) all rise (hey)
(Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo) draugr spirit
(Lo-lo) Viking hearts foreve
