(Verse 1)
The drums begin to thunder, a heartbeat in the ground
A thousand faces turning, without a single sound
The air is thick with tension, a breath held in the chest
Before the storm unleashes, putting courage to the test
They stand across the open, a line of steel and might
Two forces drawn together, to settle wrong and right
A silent understanding, of the price they'll have to pay
As the dawn begins to break upon this fateful day
(Chorus)
Battles, fought with fire and with steel
Where destinies are forged and hearts begin to reel
Battles, where heroes rise and empires fall
Answering the harsh and unforgiving call
(Verse 2)
The horns begin to echo, a signal to advance
A wave of motion forward, a desperate, hopeful chance
The clash of sword on shield now, a brutal, grinding sound
As bodies meet and shatter upon the blood-soaked ground
The cries of fallen comrades, a symphony of pain
A desperate struggle waged in sun and wind and rain
Each swing a life suspended, a gamble with the fates
Behind the lines, the waiting, behind the broken gates
(Chorus)
Battles, fought with fire and with steel
Where destinies are forged and hearts begin to reel
Battles, where heroes rise and empires fall
Answering the harsh and unforgiving call
(Bridge)
The tide begins to turn now, a push and then a break
The lines begin to falter, for victory's sweet sake
A final surge of fury, a desperate, last demand
To claim the bloody ground with a victorious hand
(Guitar Solo - powerful and driving, reflecting the intensity and chaos of battle)
(Chorus)
Battles, fought with fire and with steel
Where destinies are forged and hearts begin to reel
Battles, where heroes rise and empires fall
Answering the harsh and unforgiving call
(Outro)
The silence falls like heavy snow upon the field of strife
A tapestry of sorrow, woven from the thread of life
The battles end, but scars remain, a story to impart
Etched forever deeply in the beating human heart.
