Title: “Paper Hearts and Plastic Promises”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
C G Am F
I found a paper heart in the backseat,
Dm G C Am
Torn and faded, yet so sweet.
F G Am G
It reminded me of you and me,
F Dm G
Before we fell apart.

(Chorus)
C G Am F
Paper hearts and plastic promises,
Dm G C Am
We used to dream in bold and italics.
F G Am G
Now, all I see is your ghost,
F Dm G
In the rearview, in the most.

(Verse 2)
C G Am F
We drove down the highway of regrets,
Dm G C Am
Full of sorrows and old cassettes.
F G Am G
Your laughter still echoes in my head,
F Dm G
Yet, you’re nothing but a silhouette.

(Chorus)
C G Am F
Paper hearts and plastic promises,
Dm G C Am
Our love story written in asterisks.
F G Am G
Now, all I have are these echoes,
F Dm G
And a rearview full of shadows.

Through the icy winds, a song begins, created in the frost,
A tale of honor, a tale of loss, in the land of the Viking’s cross.
Up in the mountains, where the air is thin, where the frostbite bites the skin,
A melody rises, a solemn hymn, a tribute to our kin.

(Chorus)
C#m, F#, A, E
Oh Viking’s Frost, in the cold, we’re lost, but in the music, we are found,
In the echo of the olden sound, in the heritage so profound.
Viking’s Frost, with the battle’s cost, we honor the brave and the fallen,
In your icy touch, we are all in, singing, ’til the morning golden.

(Verse 2)
C#m, F#, A, E
The snowflakes dance, in a silent trance, under the northern light,
The tales we weave, in the frosty eve, singing through the endless night.
With every strum, the heartbeats drum, echoing the ancient lore,
In Viking’s Frost, the song is born, singing forevermore.
