[Verse 1]
Boots on the sand of a ruined road
Ash on the maps that we stole
Lantern swinging like a restless halo
Breath making ghosts in the cold
You say the trees remember names
Carved in the bark
Swallowed by age
Somewhere ahead is a crooked throne
Black crown waiting for us alone
[Chorus]
So we march into the shadow
Carrying the names of the lost
If the dark wants a war
It can bleed for the cost
Raise your hand
Draw your blade in the air
Let the hollow hills hear our call
We were small
We were scared
Now we’re fire in the halls
[Verse 2]
River runs thick with another year’s sins
Moon hides its face in the wind
Old stone gate with a jawline cracked
Teeth of iron
Rusted and black
You touch the hilt like a childhood scar
Flash of the barn
That falling star
All that was taken
All that they burned
Fuels every step as the valley turns
[Chorus]
So we march into the shadow
Carrying the names of the lost
If the dark wants a war
It can bleed for the cost
Raise your hand
Draw your blade in the air
Let the hollow hills hear our call
We were small
We were scared
Now we’re fire in the halls
[Bridge]
If I falter
If I fade (don’t let go)
Write my story in the stone by the road
If you stumble in the sway of the smoke
Say my name like a spell
Like a hope (oh)
[Chorus]
So we march into the shadow
Carrying the names of the lost
If the dark wants a war
It can bleed for the cost
Raise your hand
Draw your blade in the air
Let the hollow hills hear our call
We were small
We were scared
Now we’re fire in the halls
