[Verse 1]
Iron on my back
Ash in my teeth
I rode through the gate
With my king's name on me
Brimstone in the stones
Screams in the black
I kept my hand steady
Never once looked back
I saw the dead kneel
I saw the red rain
I learned the dark roads
Know my horse by pain
[Pre-Chorus]
Steel in my lungs
Fire in my chest
If I fall tonight
I fall doing my best
No fear in my blade
No prayer I won't keep
My king's far away
But his crown's in my reach
[Chorus]
For my king
For my king
I go to the flame
For my king
For my king
I don't break, I don't bend
Hell can't hold me
Hell can't hold me
I was born for this war
For my king
For my king
I'll come back scarred and torn
[Verse 2]
I hacked through the hounds
I broke through the bone
Every step like a drum
On a graveyard road
A demon laughed wide
I laughed right back
Then I split his grin
With a holy crack
Armor all dented
Blood on the cross
Still I held that line
At whatever cost
I heard my king call
Through the furnace wind
Said, "Bring me the dawn"
So I went back in
[Pre-Chorus]
Steel in my lungs
Fire in my chest
If I fall tonight
I fall doing my best
No fear in my blade
No prayer I won't keep
My king's far away
But his crown's in my reach
[Chorus]
For my king
For my king
I go to the flame
For my king
For my king
I don't break, I don't bend
Hell can't hold me
Hell can't hold me
I was born for this war
For my king
For my king
I'll come back scarred and torn
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
Hear me now
I was made for the gate
Bone by bone
I will bear his weight
Ash to ash
I still stand
One last mile
With my sword in hand
[Final Chorus]
For my king
For my king
I go to the flame
For my king
For my king
I don't break, I don't bend
Hell can't hold me
Hell can't hold me
I was born for this war
For my king
For my king
I bring the dawn back home
