Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] On Eden’s soil we stand in rows Boots in the dust of the old war roads Hands on hearts On steel On scars Eyes up Waiting for the dark to start We took an oath in the training yards Bruised blue knuckles Shattered guards Banners torn by the midnight wind Still we rise And rise again [Chorus] We are the Order Shields in the shadow Keepers of Eden Holding the line Blood of the hunters Cold as the marrow We walk the graves So the children see sunrise [Verse 2] They come in silk With a silver tongue Red wine teeth An ageless lung Whispers sweet as a cradle song Till the pulse slows Till the soul is gone We ink their names in a book of bone Mark each lair like a stepping stone Salt in the doorways Ash on the fields Cold iron prayer on the edge of a shield [Chorus] We are the Order Shields in the shadow Keepers of Eden Holding the line Blood of the hunters Cold as the marrow We walk the graves So the children see sunrise [Bridge] Call the lost home (that they may rest) Count the turned ones (that they confess) If we must fall Then let it be known Eden was guarded To the marrow To the bone [Chorus] We are the Order Shields in the shadow Keepers of Eden Holding the line Blood of the hunters Cold as the marrow We walk the graves So the children see sunrise

Male choir over war-drone percussion and deep organ swells; verse lines start almost a cappella and grow into stacked harmonies, call-and-response. Chorus blooms with massive, unison chanting, taiko-style drums, and low brass hits. Bridge strips to a single voice over distant bells, then full ensemble surges back for a final, shouted refrain. Reverb-heavy, cathedral-sized mix.
