[Verse 1]
Boots in the mud
Banner in my fist
Rust on the gate
Blood on my wrist
Smoke on the hill
Ash in my teeth
Swore to the crown
Swore to belief
[Chorus]
This is my steel and story
Written in dirt and bone
I ride through the dark for glory
But I might die alone
Raise up the rusted morning
Over the fields we roam
This is my steel and story
This is my oath
My throne
[Verse 2]
Laugh in the rain
Helm full of dents
Names of the lost
Scratched in the vents
Ghosts on my flank
Pray as we charge
One small heart
In armor too large
[Bridge]
If I fall
Let the ground remember
If I break
Let the sky still roar (hey!)
Cut my name
In the splintered timber
So they know
What a heart was for
[Chorus]
This is my steel and story
Written in dirt and bone
I ride through the dark for glory
But I might die alone
Raise up the rusted morning
Over the fields we roam
This is my steel and story
This is my oath
My throne
