Gods at the Gate

Hush now, child of frost and flame
Night has come but fear has no name
For beyond these walls of stone
You are never left alone

Heimdall stands with gold inside
Watching through the edge of night
Horn unblown but ready still
Guarding every silent hill

Freya walks in silver light
Soft as snow yet fierce in fight
She lays blessing on your brow
No shadow dares to linger now

Sleep while gods keep watch above
Thor with strength and Freya's love
Heimdall bears what others miss
Storm and star and abyss

Even Loki's clever arm
Twists the dark and tears apart
Every trick the night wants more
You are safe forevermore

Thunder rests within your bones
Not to conquer distant thrones
But to stand when winds arise

Steady under changing skies
Ancient runes in dreams will glow
Paths your waking feet will know
None may break what gods restore

Sacred child forevermore
If the frost should veil the land
Thor still lifts his mighty hand
If the dark begins to creep

Heimdall does not fall asleep
If the frost should veil the land
Thor still lifts his mighty hand
If the dark begins to creep

Heimdall does not fall asleep
Sleep while gods keep watch above
Thor with strength and Freya's love
Heimdall hears what others miss

Storm and star and abyss
Loki bends the night away
Turning fear to ash and grey
Fire burns at every door
You are guarded evermore
