[Intro] [drums and low strings rumble like distant artillery] Iron dawn Blood-red sky Boots in mud Brothers cry [Verse 1] Smoke on the horizon Shields carved with our scars Names of the forgotten Hammered into bars of war Breath tastes like cinders Steel shakes in my hands Fear claws at the ribcage But we hold We stand [Pre-Chorus] I see your eyes Through the ash and splinters You nod once And the world turns to winter [Chorus] Raise the banner Let it burn the storm Throne of ash and thunder We are sworn If this is where we fall Then carve our oath in stone From shattered steel and bone We’ll build a kingdom of our own On this throne of ash and thunder We are home (woah) [Verse 2] Columns of collision Crash against our line Every step they take We pay back in kind Voices like an avalanche Roaring through the smoke Every brother on my shoulder Every promise that we spoke [Pre-Chorus] If this is doom Let it come in daylight Face to face In the center of the firelight [Chorus] Raise the banner Let it burn the storm Throne of ash and thunder We are sworn If this is where we fall Then carve our oath in stone From shattered steel and bone We’ll build a kingdom of our own On this throne of ash and thunder We are home (hey!) [Bridge] [orchestra swells Choir in Latin syllables under a spoken growl] Blades dull But the will stays bright One last charge Into endless night If my heartbeat stops Let the echo roar Carry my name Through the iron of war [Chorus] Raise the banner Let it burn the storm Throne of ash and thunder We are sworn If this is where we fall Then carve our oath in stone From shattered steel and bone We’ll build a kingdom of our own On this throne of ash and thunder We are home We are home (woah)

metal, Male vocals over towering symphonic power metal: double-kick gallop, down-tuned rhythm guitars, choirs in the hooks, and a string-heavy orchestra trading lines with lead guitar. Verses stay tense and march-like with choral stabs and tom-heavy drums; chorus explodes into wide, sing-along lines, stacked harmonies, and soaring leads. Bridge drops to battlefield ambience with low choirs and timpani swells, then returns in a final, higher key chorus for a triumphant end., power metal, orchestral, ballad, symphonic metal
