[Verse 1]
Ash in my hair
Smoke on the mountain path
Steel in a stranger’s hand
Lost in a language of wrath
Old code carved
In the bark of the cedar trees
Drums call wolves
Boots crush leaves
He came on a thunder horse
Gun in his broken fist
Eyes like a guilty sky
Shaking in the morning mist
[Chorus]
Blood and steel in the rain
Who decides what remains
Drum of war
Drum of shame
Call my name
Call my name
Wind that cuts through the flags
Ghosts that cling to the rags
Every charge
Every flame
Call my name
Call my name
[Verse 2]
Banners burn
Ink runs black in the shrine
Armor creaks
Under sand and salted wine
One last charge
Through a storm of iron fire
Men of a vanished world
Riding into tangled wire
He drops his pride
Kneels in the darkening field
Reaches for a fallen blade
Chooses bone over steel
[Chorus]
Blood and steel in the rain
Who decides what remains
Drum of war
Drum of shame
Call my name
Call my name
Wind that cuts through the flags
Ghosts that cling to the rags
Every charge
Every flame
Call my name
Call my name
[Bridge]
Chant the dead in a low voice (hey!)
Beat the ground till it answers back
Old gods circle the smoke
Watching red bloom in the black
[Chorus]
Blood and steel in the rain
Who decides what remains
Drum of war
Drum of shame
Call my name
Call my name
Wind that cuts through the flags
Ghosts that cling to the rags
Every charge
Every flame
Call my name
Call my name
