Viking Mother
Ragal Ironbull
Viking Mother
Before I sailed the ocean
Before I earned these scars
My mother grabbed my hand and said
Son the sea don't care who you are
The waves will break the strongest man
Before he ever sees the stars
My viking mother told me
Don't chase gold, chase your name
Because when your bones turn into dust
That's the only thing that remains
She said one day you'll leave this shore
And I won't see you for years
One day you'll learn a warrior's strenght
Ain't measured by his spear
It's measured by the promises he keeps
When no one's around
By how he treats the weak and how he stands his ground
Back then I just wanted glory a ship, a sword, a crown
Now I know exactly what she meant
The older I become
And every storm I survived
Started with her words
My viking mother told me
Son the sea don't care who you are
The waves will break the strongest man
Before he ever sees the stars
My viking mother told me
Don't chase gold, chase your name
Because when your bones turn into dust
That's the only thing that remains
She said
One day your friends will fall
One day your heart will break
One day you'll question everything
And wonder what's at stake
But when the night gets cold enough to steal the fire from your soul
Remember where you came from son and never lose control
Now the snow sits in my beard
And scars cover my skin
But I still hear her voice every time cold winds hit
She said
The brave still cry
She said
The strong still bleed
She said
The greatest kings
Are the ones who lead
My viking mother told me
Son the sea don't care who you are
The waves will break the strongest man
Before he ever sees the stars
My viking mother told me
Don't chase gold, chase your name
Because when your bones turn into dust
That's the only thing that remains
That's the only thing that remains
And after all these years
That's still the best advice I ever got
