RavenstrikeX - The Viking Lives in Me (part 1)

No, no, no, no shield, no sword
The Viking lives in me
I tear through the ropes that were choking my will
I break through the gate that was keeping me still
You tried to bend me
I did not kneel
Let the war drums roll
Ten s on the shield
One vow that we hold
But I go straight through
I go straight through
For what I love, there is nothing I won't do
I watch the same dawn cut across the hall
Said the world would change
But it changed nothing at all
The chain on my wrist and my hand on the lock
I called it patience
I was scared of the knock
Every day was a war no one else could see
Calm at the table, teeth clenched underneath
My fist closed hard till the skin turned white
Then I faced the truth
I had refused to fight
