Verse I
Hear now the drums on the frozen ground,
Hear iron answer iron’s cry,
The banners rise with the morning wind,
No man here kneels, no man shall hide.
We were forged in fire, sworn by blood,
By broken oaths and thunder’s flame,
Tonight we stand as one unbowed—
Let steel remember our names.
Chorus
Raise the shield, lift the blade,
Let the old gods hear our call,
For though the night is crowned with death,
We shall not fear the fall.
If we fall, we fall as flame,
If we live, the world shall change,
Write our fate in shattered stone—
Let steel remember our names!
Verse II
I’ve marched through ash where cities wept,
Through halls where kings were torn from thrones,
I’ve seen the weak become the wall,
The few stand fast against the hordes.
No crown commands the warrior’s heart,
No gold can buy this sacred rage,
We fight for those who cannot stand,
For tomorrow yet unmade.
Chorus
Raise the shield, lift the blade,
Let the sky split at our cry,
For freedom’s breath is bought with blood,
And hope is born when brave men die.
If we fall, we fall as flame,
If we live, the world shall change,
Sing it loud across the field—
Let steel remember our names!
Bridge
Let the cowards curse the dark,
We are the storm they fear,
For every scar upon our flesh
Is proof we still stand here.
Verse III
When horns are silent, fires burn low,
And ravens claim the quiet plain,
Tell our sons and daughters this:
We did not bow, we did not break.
Let songs be carved in oak and bone,
Let every road recall our flame,
For even death must speak our truth—
That steel remembered our names.
Final Chorus
Raise the shield, lift the blade,
One last time before the dawn,
For legends are not born in peace,
But where the hopeless carry on.
If we fall, we fall as flame,
If we live, the world shall change,
By blood, by oath, by battle sworn—
Let steel remember our names!
Outro
March on, march on, fearless and free,
The stars themselves shall mark our way,
For heroes die—but legends stand,
And steel remembers… our names.
