[Verse 1]
We’d marched three days through smoke and mud
With powder running thin
The Gnar kept coming through the hills
Like shadows closing in
Our rifles fouled, our ranks worn down
The line began to bend
And every man among us knew
This ridge might be the end
[Verse 2]
Then someone pointed to the sun
Through drifting battle smoke
A shadow crossed the burning field
And every soldier spoke
For high above the scarlet line
Where iron clouds rolled by
A great black hull with silver guns
Was sailing through the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
A murmur rolled along the ranks
Like wind across the grain
Men who’d stood through fire and claw
Forgot their fear and pain
Some crossed themselves, some laughed out loud
Some wiped the powder from their eyes
For hope returned on iron wings
That thundered through the skies
We heard her engines beating strong
Like distant drums of war
A sound that every weary heart
Had prayed to hear before
And voices rose from line to line
Through smoke that blurred the day
“Hold fast, boys, hold your ground a while—
Our guardian’s on the way!”
[Chorus]
Stormbreaker in the sky
Rolling like thunder on the wind
Stormbreaker in the sky
Driving back the dark again
When the devils start to gather
And the ground begins to shake
We lift our eyes and find our hope
In Stormbreaker’s silver wake
Stormbreaker in the sky
Watchman of the scarlet line
Stormbreaker in the sky
Where iron wings and courage shine
When the flying Gnar come screaming
And their shadows fill the plain
Her cannons speak like judgment day
And send them back again
Stormbreaker in the sky
Bright above the smoke and flame
Stormbreaker in the sky
Every soldier knows her name
And the weary line grows steady
And the broken hearts grow brave
When Stormbreaker sails overhead
And guards the men she saves
[Verse 3]
Her cannons roared like summer storms
Across the Gnar-black tide
The flying beasts that hunted us
Turned screaming as they died
Her shadow swept across the field
Like wings of iron and flame
And every man who saw her pass
Would never be the same
[Verse 4]
They say the Strongcastle children ride
Upon her armored deck
Blades of light and hearts of fire
The dragons’ ancient wreck
Donna fierce and David proud
The brothers standing tall
Watching from the storm-lit rails
As the Gnar below us fall
[Final Chorus]
Stormbreaker in the sky
Guardian of the western plain
Stormbreaker in the sky
Breaking dragons’ ancient reign
And if we live to see the day
This war at last is done
We’ll tell our sons who saved the line
When all the world seemed gone
Stormbreaker in the sky.
