[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
