Verse
The wind carries whispers
Low and cold
A field of silence
Stories untold
The iron rang
The banners flew
Now just shadows
Where life once grew
Chorus
Oh
The shield is broken
The sword is rust
Dreams of glory turned to dust
Who will sing for the fallen tonight?
The stars look down
But offer no light
Verse 2
The trees still stand where they watched the fight
Roots drinking tears through the endless night
The crows have come
Black wings spread
Feasting now on the words unsaid
Prechorus
Did we march for the king? Or march for the grave?
What did we seek
What did we save?
Chorus
Oh
The shield is broken
The sword is rust
Dreams of glory turned to dust
Who will sing for the fallen tonight?
The stars look down
But offer no light
Bridge
The echoes linger
Like ghosts in the trees
A soft lament carried on the breeze
No victor crowned
No tale to boast
Just a battlefield haunted by its ghosts
