Odin's Temple

Lyrics

Verse 1
On the hill of ash and stone
I found the gate alone
Ravens perched on broken beams
Watching through the winter seams

Hooves in the frozen mud
Old runes cut deep in blood
I touched the door of iron black
And the night bit back

Pre-Chorus
Hear the old name rise
Under север skies
Every oath I never spoke
Turns to thunder in the smoke

Chorus
Odin's Temple, call my name
Odin's Temple, raise the flame
(raise the flame)
I came with frost on my tongue
And left with the storm undone
Odin's Temple, hold me fast
Odin's Temple, make me last

Verse 2
A longship dream in a jagged line
Carved in the bone of the hall divine
Gold on the shield, soot on the skin
I heard the wolves howl in

The hollow of a pillar tall
I saw my shadow hit the wall
Then it stood up, fierce and bright
Like I had dragged the dawn inside

Pre-Chorus
Hear the old name rise
Under север skies
Every oath I never spoke
Turns to thunder in the smoke

Chorus
Odin's Temple, call my name
Odin's Temple, raise the flame
(raise the flame)
I came with frost on my tongue
And left with the storm undone
Odin's Temple, hold me fast
Odin's Temple, make me last

Bridge
If I fall, let the ravens know
I wore my fear like winter snow
If I rise, let the black earth ring
With the harsh true word I sing

Final Chorus
Odin's Temple, call my name
Odin's Temple, raise the flame
(raise the flame)
I came with frost on my tongue
And left with the storm undone
Odin's Temple, hold me fast
Odin's Temple, make me last
Odin's Temple, call my name
Odin's Temple, raise the flame
