"One Footprint Behind" lyrics

[JT Music:]
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

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
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
I'll burn to the ground my name and my past
I 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

It's the Olympus within me I'm fightin'
Oh father, I fear I've become more of a Titan

[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

Once he is gone, his ghost will still haunt you
The chaos he's wrought is already upon you

[JT Music:]
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 seein'?
Maybe I'm not him, but I still 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

I hardly know my own power - it's frightening
Now I know why all my arrows are striking like lightning

[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

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

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

[JT Music:]
I wanna be like you
I'll pick up my sword
I'll be just like you
A true God of War
