Laga, Ragalor - Roots Not Chains

Snow Took The Road
Snow Took The Names From Stone
But Beside The Fire
We Spoke Them Back To Life
Each Winter Laid Its Silence On The Land
It Filled The Ruts And Hid The Boundary Stones
The Paths Once Worn By Those Before My Birth
Disappeared Beneath A World Of White
Yet By The Hearth, Their Names Returned In Flame
In Songs, In Stories
In The Scarred Old Table
In Earth That Fed Our Blood From Year To Year
The Dead Were Gone
But Never Absent There
Before The Valley Gave Me To The Road
It Taught Me Every Name Beneath My Own
Under The Snow, The Old Road Lies
Under My Skin, Its Echo Survives
The Years May Weather Each Spoken Name
Still, I Remember Where I Came
Roots Do Not Bind The Feet That Roam
They Hold Me Steady Against The Cold
No Matter How Far This Child May Go
The Snow May Hide Their Footsteps
But Their Blood Still Leads Me Home
Beyond The Valley, Distant Roads Called Out
The House Seemed Small The Old Tales Felt Too Heavy
I Crossed The Ridge Believing I Was Free
Because No Buried Past
Could Follow Me
Then Foreign Winter Stripped The Road Of Signs
No Voice Knew Mine No Fire Spoke Those Names
I Reached For What I Once Had Pushed Aside
And Felt A Thousand Footsteps In My Stride
I Thought My Roots Were Asking Me To Stay
They Only Taught Me How Not To Lose My Way
Roots, Not Chains
Remember The Name
Ground, Not Weight
The Living Flame
They Do Not Keep My Feet From The Road
They Give Me Strength To Carry The Load
Before I Choose The Road Ahead
I Name The Living And Honor The Dead
The World May Test How Far I Roam
It Cannot Take The Roots I Call Home
Whose Names Do You Carry
All Who Came Before
What Did They Leave You
Ground No Storm Can Move
Then Walk Beyond Us
I will and
I will know the way home
Name By Name Keep The Fire Alive
Step By Step
They Move In My Stride
I Know My Beginning!
I Know What I Bear
I Carry Their Courage Through
Foreign Air
Roots, Not Chains
Let The Wide World Come
I Know Where I Stand
I Know Where I Am From
Let Winter Bury Every Road They Roamed
The Snow May Hide Their Footsteps
But Their Blood Still Leads Me Home
Snow Keeps Falling
Let It Fall
The Path Lives In Me
Blood Knows Home
