[Verse 1]
Two kingdoms on the ridge tonight
Your banners burn, my scars still bright
Giants move like hills of stone
Trolls come snarling for the throne
My brothers lock shields in the rain
I taste the ash, I hear the pain
Steel on steel, that holy scream
We bleed for land, we feed the dream
[Pre-Chorus]
The sky goes red
The ground shakes hard
One knight left standing
With a broken guard
[Chorus]
Hold the line, hold the line
Iron crown, still mine
Hold the line, hold the line
We fall, but we rise
Hold the line, hold the line
Hear the war cry climb
Hold the line, hold the line
Till the last sword shines
[Verse 2]
A giant swings, my shield cracks deep
A troll bites down, my knees stay weak
I see my brother drop to stone
I shout his name through smoke and bone
Then I strike fast, then I strike true
One final swing cuts through the blue
If I must die, let this be seen
My land still breathes in what I bleed
[Pre-Chorus]
The sky goes red
The ground shakes hard
One knight left standing
With a broken guard
[Chorus]
Hold the line, hold the line
Iron crown, still mine
Hold the line, hold the line
We fall, but we rise
Hold the line, hold the line
Hear the war cry climb
Hold the line, hold the line
Till the last sword shines
[Bridge]
[Half-time break]
No sons left back in the hall
No warm hands left to call
Just my blade and the cold night air
And the names of the lost I wear
I rise from the smoke, I rise
With ruin under my eyes
If the gate must break, let it break
I am the last one wide awake
[Final Chorus]
Hold the line, hold the line
Iron crown, still mine
Hold the line, hold the line
We fall, but we rise
Hold the line, hold the line
Hear the war cry climb
Hold the line, hold the line
Till the last sword shines
