Still Here

[Verse 1]
[Male] Rain on the longship, rain on the flame,
[Female] The fjord keeps calling our names.
We carried our ghosts through the northern storm,
With a violin crying where the cold winds form.
The crowd answers back as the deep cello rolls,
And the piano finds the cracks in our souls.

[Chorus]
[Both] When the thunder calls, we answer together,
Through rain, through ruin, through whatever weather.
Echo our names till the mountains remember—
We are still here, we are still here.

[Verse 2]
[Male] My father’s old shield has a split down the side,
[Female] I wear his courage, not the fear he hid.
The drums keep a heartbeat, steady and slow,
While the white-haired moon watches over the snow.
We raise our voices; the rafters shake,
Two kinds of fire, one vow to make.

[Bridge]
[Female] Let the strings climb—
[Male] Let the whole room rise.
[Both] In the hush between the raindrops,
We come alive.

[Outro]
[Both] Echo our names through the northern weather.
Still here. Still here.
