  • Taking over this town, they should worry
    But these problems aside, I think I taught you well
    That we won't run, and we won't run, and we won't run

    And in the winter night sky, ships are sailing
    Looking down on these bright blue city lights
    And they won't wait, and they won't wait, and they won't wait
    We're here to stay, we're here to stay, we're here to stay

    Howling ghosts, they reappear
    In mountains that are stacked with fear
    But you're a king and I'm a lionheart
    A lionheart

    His crown lit up the way as we moved slowly
    Past the wondering eyes of the ones that were left behind
    Though far away, though far away, though far away
    We're still the same, we're still the same, we're still the same

    Howling ghosts, they reappear
    In mountains that are stacked with fear
    But you're a king and I'm a lionheart

    And in a sea that's painted black
    Creatures lurk below the deck
    But you're a king and I'm a lionheart
    And as the world comes to an end
    I'll be here to hold your hand
    'Cause you're my king and I'm your lionheart
    A lionheart, a lionheart, a lionheart, a lionheart
    A lionheart, a lionheart, a lionheart, a lionheart

    Howling ghosts, they reappear
    In mountains that are stacked with fear
    But you're a king and I'm a lionheart

    And in a sea that's painted black
    Creatures lurk below the deck
    But you're a king and I'm a lionheart
    A lionheart, a lionheart, a lionheart, a lionheart
    A lionheart, a lionheart, a lionheart, a lionheart Writer/s: Nanna Bryndis Hilmarsdottir, Ragnar Thorhallsson
