(Verse I):
Stone walls breathe under torchlight
Rain drums war into our bones
A thousand shadows at the gate
Steel clenched, we stand alone
Oaths carved deep into the marrow
Fear gnaws but will not win
If this is where the world breaks
Then let it break on us
(Pre-Chorus):
They come like an endless night
A tide of hate, a sea of black
But every heartbeat is a blade
And we will not turn back
(Chorus):
Hold the line, hold the flame
Let the storm remember our names
When the horn cries out in despair
We answer with blood and prayer
Hold the line, till the end
Stone and flesh will not bend
If we fall, we fall as one
At Helm’s Deep—until the dawn
(Verse II):
Ladders scrape against the walls
Hands like spiders in the rain
Eyes burn green with borrowed rage
Forged in fire, fed by chains
The earth shakes, thunder answers
A breach screams through the keep
But hope still sharpens every strike
We fight so others sleep
(Pre-Chorus):
Hear the clash, hear the cry
Iron sings against the night
Outnumbered, broken, still we rise
This is our last stand—our right
(Chorus):
Hold the line, hold the flame
Let the storm remember our names
When the horn cries out in despair
We answer with blood and prayer
Hold the line, till the end
Stone and flesh will not bend
If we fall, we fall as one
At Helm’s Deep—until the dawn
(Bridge (Spoken / Atmospheric)):
Ride out with the morning
Ride out against the dark
Even the smallest light
Can tear the shadow apart
(Breakdown):
ONE WALL
ONE SHIELD
NO RETREAT
NO KNEEL
WE ARE THE STORM
WE ARE THE STAND
THE LAST HOPE
OF THIS LAND
(Chorus (Final)):
Hold the line, hear the call
When the white sun starts to rise
From the deep we charge as one
And the night learns how to die
Hold the line, this is it
Steel to fate, teeth grit
History breaks with the sun—
At Helm’s Deep, we have won
(Outro):
When silence falls on broken fields
And the rain forgets our scars
Let them say we did not yield—
We stood, and became the dawn.
