[Intro] [choir Distant In Latin-esque syllables] Ooh-ah Ooh-ah Shadows rise Ooh-ah Ooh-ah Calling blood and fire [Verse 1] Boots in the frost Armor singing in the dawn Breath like smoke As the banners are drawn Names on a list Carved in steel upon my shield Every step Every heartbeat As I walk onto the field [Chorus] I raise my sword to the throne of ash and thunder Let the sky remember every broken vow If my bones are claimed by storm and summer Write my story on the wind right now Throne of ash and thunder Hear me Take my fear I offer blood and breath Throne of ash and thunder Crown me If I fall Then crown me with death (hey!) [Verse 2] Brothers in line Eyes like embers barely tamed Prayers half-spoken To a god we never named Steel finds steel Like a choir out of time And the earth keeps the tally Of the ones left behind [Chorus] I raise my sword to the throne of ash and thunder Let the sky remember every broken vow If my bones are claimed by storm and summer Write my story on the wind right now Throne of ash and thunder Hear me Take my fear I offer blood and breath Throne of ash and thunder Crown me If I fall Then crown me with death [Bridge] [orchestra swells Choir low and ominous] If I’m only one voice in the roar Will you hear me through the roar Through the roar? If the snow drinks deep of the brave Will you mark this place This grave This grave? (woah) [Chorus] I raise my sword to the throne of ash and thunder Let the sky remember every broken vow If my bones are claimed by storm and summer Write my story on the wind right now Throne of ash and thunder Hear me Take my fear I offer blood and breath Throne of ash and thunder Crown me If I fall Then crown me with death [Outro] [choir soaring over held guitars] Ooh-ah Ooh-ah Throne of ash and thunder Ooh-ah Ooh-ah Crown me with death
