One Footprint Behind

Lyrics

[Intro: Andrea Storm Kaden] Mmm-hmm-hmm Mmm-hmm-hmm [Refrain: Skullkruncher13] I can feel it deep down in my roots, a dark desire I wanna cut the tree down 'cause I need to build a fire As I trudge on through the snow I've become numb to the cold Father's blood made me divine, but his heart isn't mine So draw your sword or draw the line [Interlude: Skullkruncher13] I'm nothing like you, not anymore I'm nothing like you, so I put down my sword I'm nothing like you, I'll become something more I'm nothing like you, even if my blood is yours [Verse 1: Skullkruncher13] Forever will I be subject to hate But never will I be the subject of fate Because in my veins, ain't nothing but rage What I thought was power put me in chains Burn to the ground my name to my past Pray that I'll never be stained with the ash Just like my father, he's got his scars I may not follow, but he'll leave his mark [Pre-Chorus: Skullkruncher13] It's the Olympus within me I'm fightin' Oh, Father, I fear I've become more of a Titan [Chorus: Andrea Storm Kaden] Onward, my son, it's almost the Allfather's time (As the valkyries fall from the sky) Onward, my son, you're only one footprint behind One day, yours will be larger than mine [Post-Chorus: Andrea Storm Kaden] Once he is gone, his ghost will still haunt you The chaos he's wrought is already upon you [Verse 2: Skullkruncher13] Uh, sins of my father, I carry 'em now But I don't want 'em, I'll bury 'em now I know his path and how it'll end Far from my dad, I don't bow to revenge Breaking the timeless cycle of violence But where would I be without his guidance? I know he's watching, but is he seeing? Maybe I'm not him, but I still need him (Need him) Father's a fighter, no hiding the scars And I've lit the spark that will fire his heart Together, we'll shift and defy all the odds Surrender's a gift we'll deny all the gods I gotta take all that I've learned from him And whatever respect that I've earned from him And I'll start goin' down my own road I don't need Pandora, brought my own hope For the lonely walk, so long ahead But you know I brought my talkin' head And a fellowship that I'm leadin' The day's comin' when I won't need him [Pre-Chorus: Skullkruncher13] I hardly know my own power, it's frightening Now I know why all my arrows are striking like lightning [Chorus: Andrea Storm Kaden] Onward, my son, it's almost the Allfather's time (As the valkyries fall from the sky) Onward, my son, you're only one footprint behind One day yours will be larger than mine [Bridge: Andrea Storm Kaden] With your path of destruction behind you The boy is unpoisoned with hatred His path may yet guide you Our son has no sword to swing His song is not yours to sing Let him see your scars, then he'll leave his mark [Chorus: Andrea Storm Kaden] Onward, my son, it's almost the Allfather's time (As the valkyries fall from the sky) Onward, my son, you're only one footprint behind One day yours will be larger than mine [Outro: Skullkruncher13] I wanna be like you, I'll pick up my sword I'll be just like you, a true God of War
