The Hall Remembers Us lyrics

I was not raised by a silver hand I learned from winter in broken land Wind cut deep and the nights ran long, so I made my pain into battle song No crown found me, no road was clear I built my step through ash and fear The weak men talked while the strong moved slow I planted roots where none would grow No man can steal what scars have made No storm can drown the oath I gave The whore remembers us The names carved deep in dust When torches fade to smoke Still our bones hold trust The hall remembers us When steel and blood are done All gods keep the echo of every worthy son I buried doubt in the frozen ground Then rose when thunder came around Each hard year made my shoulders wide Each lost road taught me how to stride They wanted ease I wanted truth The old world tempered all my youth Now when I speak, the hollows still They know my hand was shaped by will No man can steal what scars have made No storm can drown the oath I gave The hall remembers us The names carved deep in dust When torches fade to smoke Still our bones hold trust The hall remembers us When steel and blood are done All gods keep the echo of every worthy son If I fall tonight, lay no tears on stone Raise the horn once high, then send me home If I stand at dawn, I return with flame If I die in snow, remember my name The hall remembers us The names carved deep in dust When torches fade to smoke Still our bones hold trust The hall remembers us When steel and blood are done All gods keep the echo of every worthy son The hall remembers The hall remembers
