Follow Father |
| I follow close to Father |
| But feel so far behind |
| How often do I ponder |
| What secrets he may hide |
| I carry mother’s ashes |
| Why can’t she see me now |
| My divine rite of passage |
| Time to make my father proud |
| A washed-up god of war |
| Upon this shore a little farther north |
| Woke up to another thunderstorm |
| But this one came knocking on the door |
| His heart grows heavy and his arms are sore |
| Gotta be the guilt for all he’s done before |
| So he, cut the cords and dropped the swords |
| And then the ghost of Sparta was reborn |
| But he’s haunted by the past |
| With his ashes skin all scarred and worn |
| He’s already buried family once |
| He can barely even bear the thought of more |
| Cuz the cost of life is one you cannot afford |
| With a son you’re become a role model for |
| After all he taught him? |
| He doesn’t want him |
| To take up his father’s sword |
| Force himself to ignore the past |
| Back when revenge was all he swore |
| But he will defend his only son |
| If he’s gotta make a sacred god a corpse |
| Better brush up on Nordic monster lore |
| Slaughter trolls, ogres and Draugr lords |
| If you need a weapon |
| Then make a friend with a Dwarf who’s got a forge |
| When his legend is etched in history |
| Henceforth it’s all in Norse |
| He’s still got a lot of strength |
| But his Spartan rage is not the source |
| Nor does he draw his power |
| As the former god of war |
| His is stronger for his progeny |
| That’s what my father’s for |
| Father’s a fighter, but he tries to hide his scars |
| I’ll light the fire, melt the ice over his heart |
| I know he still has hope in the life he planned for me |
| But as I grow older, father’s all I want to be |
| When I cross the Bifrost |
| I’m all fired up to ice gods |
| Heimdall, get out the warning, Gjallarhorn |
| To all nine realms — I can fight odds |
| My father and I, much father we’ll climb |
| Until we are standing Atop Jotunheim |
| And if you think we’ve peaked |
| We will leave our mark in the sky |
| Yo, the road to Ragnarok |
| Fact — that’s the path they’re on |
| Take a blast of dragon breath |
| Wipe off the ash and laugh it off |
| Got a head upon your neck? |
| I got the knack to hack it off |
| Take the knowledge from it |
| Use it all to bring my wrath to gods |
| I’m walking taller than giants |
| They oughta call me Goliath |
| I’ll face a god in defiance |
| And strike 'em harder than lightnin' |
| It’s in my blood, when I’m fightin' |
| Feels like I’m conquering titans |
| Just like my father’s done |
| I wanna be like him |
| Sorry Valhalla it’s time |
| The heavens fall from the sky |
| I read a rune, it said that you would all die |
| Because I know my mythology |
| And no prophecies lie |
| I’ll become stronger than Father |
| And that’s a promise of mine |
| Father’s a fighter, but he tries to hide his scars |
| I’ll light the fire, melt the ice over his heart |
| I know he still has hope in the life he planned for me |
| But as I grow older, father’s all I want to be |
| Unearth the serpent |
| Circling the world beneath the sea |
| And learn his ancient language |
| Secrets he will speak to me |
| Break the ouroboros |
| Now embrace divinity |
| Feel the feeble grip of mortal limits |
| Now releasing me |
| Wind and snow won’t hold us |
| This blistering cold given focus |
| Me and dad will take an axe to Asgard |
| After we both overthrow Odin |
| Go tell Thor better stay at home if |
| He doesn’t want Mjollnir to get broken |
| Consider this a foreboding omen |
| Because Olympus fell before them |
| I walk alongside Father |
| My troubles far behind |
| We hold up one another |
| The stronger gods combined |
| Father’s a fighter, but he tries to hide his scars |
| I’ll light the fire, melt the ice over his heart |
| I know he still has hope in the life he planned for me |
| But as I grow older, father’s all I want to be |
