My Shield, My Storm, My Home

Lyrics: My Shield, My Storm, My Home

You came to me with winter in your hair, With iron at your side and fire in your stare, Your hands had held the axe, the oar, the blade, Yet trembled soft when our first vows were made. I was the keeper of the bread and flame, The linen, wool, the whispered family name, But when you looked at me, the hall grew still, And I became the song beneath your will. So let them raise the wedding horn, Let banners kiss the sky, For I have found my shelter In the storm within your eyes. Oh, my shield, my storm, my northern sky, I’ll love you till the last stars die. Where your sword has carved a path through stone, I’ll lay my heart and call it home. Let ravens cry and oceans roar, I am yours forevermore. My warrior bride, my flame, my own, My shield, my storm, my home. They speak of battles written on your skin, Of every war you fought and dared to win, But I have seen what no one else may see, The woman who lays down her guard for me. I kiss the scars the world has tried to claim, I wear your honor brighter than a name, No crown of gold could make me half as proud As standing by you here before the crowd. So bind my hand with crimson thread, And wrap us close in red, I choose the road beside you, Wherever fate has led. Oh, my shield, my storm, my northern sky, I’ll love you till the last stars die. Where your sword has carved a path through stone, I’ll lay my heart and call it home. Let ravens cry and oceans roar, I am yours forevermore. My warrior bride, my flame, my own, My shield, my storm, my home. Wrap us in the wedding cloak, Bind us with the crimson thread, Let the gods and mothers hear Every sacred word we’ve said. I will mend what war has torn, You will guard what love has grown, You are thunder, I am hearth, Together we are bone and stone. Before the fire, before the sea, Before the kin who witness me, I place my life within your hands, My heart, my hearth, my wedding band. When dawn is red above the fjord and field, I’ll stand beside the bearer of the shield, Not behind you, not below your name, But hand in hand through hunger, storm, and flame. And when your battles fade to songs of old, When our hair is ash and silver-gold, I’ll still look up and see what I see now: My chosen wife, my victory, my vow. Oh, my shield, my storm, my northern sky, I’ll love you till the last stars die. Where your sword has carved a path through stone, I’ll lay my heart and call it home. Let ravens cry and oceans roar, I am yours forevermore. My warrior bride, my flame, my own, My shield, my storm, my home. Before the gods, before the sea, Before the fire, you chose me. And I choose you, through blood and foam, My shield, my storm, my home.
