The God Father lyrics - Dan Bull

(Kratos & Atreus Song)

Quick, come in, and hold your shoulders up, we're in for a winter

Cold enough to split skin cause your fingers to splinter

Flick the flint to the tinder, and then the tinder to timber

If we don't protect the cinder, then the wind'll extinguish the glimmer

The only glint of hope we hold growing dimmer and dimmer

And so we bring it close enough to cling to it and shiver

You're an innocent kid, but old enough to know this

You're growing up so quick, I didn't even notice

And look at you - a future king, a truly beauteous thing

Took you under mine, but now it's time for you to use your wings

My finest student's tutoring is due to finish soon

And then it's lunar, moving with the moon, a new beginning looms

There is a luminance in you no human can eclipse

So is it stupid to assume you'll fill my shoe then if it fits?

Like a glove, my love for you's so huge, I better get a grip

Feel the music as it hits, build the tune up, let it rip

Whatever feats I have achieved

Whatever deeds I've done

Will never leave a legacy

Compared to thee, my son

Eventually, even chilly winter will give in to spring

Into summer rise and fall before revisiting

What is a king to a god but kindling?

And what's a god to a son for whom his father would do anything?

What godly gifts I'm given, hardly makes a difference

I'm hardwired with this fatherly disposition, it's my mission

To provide the kind of love that does not come with condition

My son, whatever sin's committed, trust, it's forgiven

Listen, you and I are riffing to a different rhythm

Rune rifted rock will outexist any scriptures written

See, even if I'm gone, you'll have your father by your side

Keeping your heart strong, from afar, look on with pride

Provide a reason to go on, and take the hardship in your stride

However far you want to ride, I'll be right behind

And though you might not need your father, your father needs his son

And so I will march farther 'till the final deed is done

Whatever feats I have achieved

Whatever deeds I've done

Will never leave a legacy

Compared to thee, my son

Good god, I've always thought myself a bad god

But perhaps I'm a good dad, I've got the dad bod

Before my lad, I was sad, savaged by the black dog

Just trying to ignore it, gnawing at me like a Hamhock

No matter what path I trod, it followed the tracks I dropped

But now I've found what I lacked, I lost the last of what was

Pulling me down, it's just my son and me now, and that's your lot

And if I have to, I'll follow him down to Ragnarok

Whatever feats I have achieved

Whatever deeds I've done

Will never leave a legacy

Compared to thee, my son

Together we will weather each

And every grief to come

For though I leave a legacy

I'll never leave my son

Whatever feats I have achieved

Whatever deeds I've done

Will never leave a legacy

Compared to thee, my son
