[Intro]
Cold wind walking
White fields sleeping
Under the silence
Old blades are keeping

[Verse]
We march where the black cliffs lean
Through a world of white and mean
Every footprint fills with frost
Every step counts what was lost

No bird sings and no branch bends
Only the road that never ends
The red moon fades behind the cloud
But still its curse feels sharp and loud

[Pre-Chorus]
The snow is clean
The heart is not
The hand remembers
What time forgot

[Chorus]
Iron beneath the snow
Buried deep where no flowers grow
Iron beneath the snow
Waiting for the thaw of woe

Iron beneath the snow
Every oath and every blow
We carry winter in our veins
And drag the dead through frozen plains

[Verse]
Across the ridge, another line
Black shields moving spine by spine
They wear our grief in different names
But burn beneath the selfsame flames

The youngest grips his father’s spear
Too proud to show the taste of fear
The oldest walks with lowered eyes
He knows that honor also lies

[Pre-Chorus]
The snow is clean
The blood is near
The gods say nothing
The men still hear

[Chorus]
Iron beneath the snow
Buried deep where no flowers grow
Iron beneath the snow
Waiting for the thaw of woe

Iron beneath the snow
Every oath and every blow
We carry winter in our veins
And drag the dead through frozen plains

[Solo]
[Bridge]
If the mountain could speak
It would beg us to turn
If the river could weep
It would rise up and burn

But the banners push on
And the drums never slow
For the iron is awake
Beneath the snow

[Chorus]
Iron beneath the snow
Buried deep where no flowers grow
Iron beneath the snow
Waiting for the thaw of woe

Iron beneath the snow
Every oath and every blow
We carry winter in our veins
And drag the dead through frozen plains

[Outro]
Cold wind walking
White fields sleeping
Under the silence
Old blades are weeping
