[Verse 1]
Through morning fog the shadow came
A silent horse of sky
Prophet descended, wings like flame
To honor those who die
No voice was needed, none at all
The wind carried his grace
A tribute to the man who stood
And held the line in place
[Chorus]
Oh Strongcastle, your name shall soar
On wings of loyal flight
Though graves may hold your mortal frame
Your spirit guards the fight
[Verse 2]
Mathew heard the bitter truth
His grandfather was gone
A weight of years, of love, of loss
Settled at early dawn
He mounted Prophet, felt his heart
Beat steady with the sky
And knew the cousins and Uncle Andrew
Must hear that fate had passed them by
[Chorus]
Oh Strongcastle, your name shall soar
On wings of loyal flight
Though graves may hold your mortal frame
Your spirit guards the fight
From east to west, from sea to sky
We carry what you gave
Your courage echoes through the wind
Your memory, strong and brave
[Verse 3]
Above the Baywhar Babe they rode
The news a solemn gift
Through clouds and sun and rising tide
The ship they would uplift
For family bound by blood and steel
And bonds that never break
Mathew carried all he knew
For love, and memory’s sake
[Bridge – Faith & Crew’s Vow]
His faith in God, unwavering,
Carried him through the storm
A light that burned when all was dark
A courage true and warm
The crew stood silent, heads bowed low
Eyes wet with ash and rain
Then voices rose in a single vow
“To strike at Gnar’s domain!”
“For Strongcastle’s name we fight!”
“No dark will live, no shadow reign
While we keep his fire alive!”
[Final Chorus (soft, fading)]
Oh Strongcastle, your name shall soar
On wings of loyal flight
Though graves may hold your mortal frame
Your spirit guards the fight
And we will stand, and we will ride
Through shadow, ash, and flame
For every heart that you inspired
Will never be the same
