Carry Their Fire

For the ones in my heart
I rise screaming
LET THE WAR DRUMS AWAKEN
THE SKY
I KEEP every name, every flame but
I will not be buried in pain
What was taken
Still lives in my heart
The road is not done
THIS IS ONLY THE START
STAND UP
Breathe deep
There are battles to meet
I carry their courage with me
I live for the days yet to come
I move
Though the winter
Is deep
Cold in the heart, dawn at the door, I know what silence can do
I gave it my sleep, I gave it my
Strength till nothing remained but the truth
Pain is not weakness, tears are not chains.
Say what was lost and rise with the name.
The heart can
Remember and still beat hard.
The soul
Can be wounded and still stand tall
No room can change what fate has sealed but
I decide what grief will steal
Not my voice, not my fire, not the life
They wanted for me
For the ones in my heart i
Let the raven circle in light
I keep every star, every name but
I will not kneel to the pain.
Hold
Fast, move on, make the lost proud
I carry the past like a banner
I walk
With my head
Lifted now
Storm storm on the sea, ice on the shield, still
I lean into the wind
Courage is not never breaking
Courage is starting again i
Will build what they could not finish.
I
Will see what they could not see.
I will
Laugh without calling it betrayal.
I will live and let love stay
With me
The gates above ME STAY SHUT tIGHT.
MY oath is HERE INSIDE THIS LIFE
LET ODIN keep the honored halls.
Let me
Guard test me while
I breathe
I am not done because
I lost.
I
Am the proof of what they gave
Each dawn I RISE, THEY RISE IN ME
KEEP THE NAME
DROP THE CHAIN
WALK ON
KEEP THE NAME
DROP THE CHAIN
WALK ON
KEEP THE NAME
DROP THE CHAIN
WALK ON
WALK ON
KEEP THE NAME
GRIEF KNOWS MY NAME, IT DOES NOT cOMMAND.
I rise with the living, my
Shield in my hand
If heaven can hear me, then hear this
I am still here
I choose to remain
Your memory
Is not my prison
It is thunder beneath every step
I will make what comes next worthy
For the ones in the hall
I rise
With the storm and the sun in my eyes
I keep every name, every flame and
I carry the sorrow and strain
No, the past will not pull me below
I have roads
I have battles to go
Stand up
Hold fast
Let the war drums roll
I live for the ones who went before
I fight for the ones by my side
I carry their
Love into life
