LYRICS

Keep the chatter for the ravens
I don’t speak to hear the echo

I don’t talk just to fill the hall with smoke
Every word’s a vow, every promise is a yoke
I don’t move just to prove I’m in the light
I’m the black-sky dweller, comfortable in the night
I’ve seen “High Kings” buckle when the Ginnungagap gapes
Heard “Alphas” whimper when the Wyrd takes shape
But I’m rooted like the Ash, Yggdrasil in the veins
I don’t vibrate or tremble when they rattle the chains
When the walls give in and the roof starts to crack
I don’t look for an exit, I just widen my stance
It’s a Holmgang spirit, one square in the dirt
If the truth is a blade, let me feel how it hurts

When the Fimbulwinter bites and the sky turns grey
When the cowards find a hole and they scurry away
I don’t run, I don’t bend
I am the Breach, I don’t break
When I hold, Jörmungandr, I hold the weight
When the Bifrost snaps and the shadows take
You can lean on the iron, I won’t shake
In the Breach, you’re safe

I’ve held blood-slicked hands through the Ragnarök nights
Kept my word when the cost was the ghost of my pride
I don’t fold when the Norns start cutting the thread
I’ll stay quiet, stay heavy, till the crows are all fed
I’ve been low in the mud, I’ve been tested in the frost
Got the scars on the map showing everywhere I lost
But I don’t drown in the tide, I’m the hull of the ship
Let the waves hit the wood, I just tighten the grip
When the circle gets thin and the fire burns out
And the wolves in the dark start to whisper their doubt
I don’t run. I don’t bend

I am the Breach, I don’t break
When I hold, Jörmungandr, I hold the weight
When the Bifrost snaps and the shadows take
You can lean on the iron, I won’t shake
In the Breach, you’re safe

You don’t need a Fyrd, you don’t need a crowd
You need one set of shoulders that can carry the cloud
It don’t scare me
It’s the Berserker-calm
The eye of the storm in the palm of my hand

I am the Breach
Yeah, the ground remembers me
You’re safe
