Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Twenty million shells Turn the morning black Mud where wheat once grew Bones along the track Smoke crawls up the hill Names carved into steel Craters where a town once stood Nothing left to feel [Chorus] Verdun We do not yield Hold the line Become the shield Flesh and fire Earth and steel Bleed the stones Refuse to kneel Verdun We stand We fall Hear our vow above it all If we break The world will drown Verdun We hold this ground [Verse 2] Men who should be home Frozen in the wire Letters in a coat Charred by splintered fire One more forward rush Through the poison rain Every step a stolen breath Traded into pain [Chorus] Verdun We do not yield Hold the line Become the shield Flesh and fire Earth and steel Bleed the stones Refuse to kneel Verdun We stand We fall Hear our vow above it all If we break The world will drown Verdun We hold this ground [Bridge] Day on day The thunder calling (hey!) Year of night that never ends Whispered prayers in shattered trenches “Fight for us ” the dead command Raise the flag with broken fingers Raise your voice above the guns If we vanish in this fever Still the story marches on (oh!) [Chorus] Verdun We do not yield Hold the line Become the shield Flesh and fire Earth and steel Bleed the stones Refuse to kneel Verdun We stand We fall Hear our vow above it all If we break The world will drown Verdun We hold this ground

metal, Epic European-style power metal, 185 BPM, double-kick blitz and galloping rhythm guitars, choirs on the chorus, twin-guitar leads mirroring the vocal melody, soaring male vocals that leap an octave in the hook. Verses stay tight and martial with chugging palm mutes; chorus explodes with wide-open chords and gang shouts. Mid-song bridge drops to tom-heavy march and chant, then ascends into a blazing harmony solo before the final, higher-key chorus., power metal
