[Intro] At dawn we stand With opened hands Let blood decide What steel demands [Verse] Circle close around the stone No man swears the vow alone Cut the palm and stain the blade This is how the debt is paid Father’s grief and mother’s cry Rise like smoke into the sky Every scar becomes a thread Tying living hands to dead [Pre-Chorus] Say the names Raise the flame Let the old wounds speak again Say the names Feed the claim Let the oath become the chain [Chorus] Blood oath at dawn Till the last breath is gone By the axe, by the flame By the dead without a name Blood oath at dawn Under red and dying sun We are bound, we are torn We are sworn before the storm [Verse] No priest blesses what we do Only frost and iron true No god answers from the height Only ravens dressed in night Still we kneel and still we pray Still we choose the killing way Still we call it sacred law With the wolf inside the jaw [Pre-Chorus] Say the names Raise the flame Let the old wounds speak again Say the names Feed the claim Let the oath become the chain [Chorus] Blood oath at dawn Till the last breath is gone By the axe, by the flame By the dead without a name Blood oath at dawn Under red and dying sun We are bound, we are torn We are sworn before the storm [Build-up] One drop for the father One drop for the son One drop for the brother Whose shadow cannot run One drop for the liar One drop for the throne One drop for the fire That burns in blood and bone [Breakdown] Sworn Bound Cut Crowned Blood Stone Debt Bone [Chorus] Blood oath at dawn Till the last breath is gone By the axe, by the flame By the dead without a name Blood oath at dawn Under red and dying sun We are bound, we are torn We are sworn before the storm [Outro] At dawn we stand With opened hands The snow drinks red The oath commands
