The Guardian of the Throne v2

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Born of the soil that knows no name

Hands hardened by rain and flame

They laughed and said your place is here

The plough the mud the quiet years

But in this chest a shadow grew

A dream that only I knew

That one day I would stand and guard

The light that burns within the dark

Pre-Chorus

I walked the road that no one trod

Worn by stone and tempered rod

Not by birthright not by sword

But by a will that outlasts all

Chorus

From the dust of the earth I rise and stand

The shield that guards the holy land

I bear no title I claim no name

My sword is truth my heart is flame

I may not be noble but I am bold

Against the beast of ash and gold

For crown for people for this sacred vow

I face the fire I face it now

Post-Chorus

Rise and stand

(Rise and stand)

I face it now

(I face it now)

Verse 2

The wings grew dark across the sun

The silence told what had begun

The beast descended from the storm

Breath of heat and flesh now torn

Steel broke and shields turned into ash

The strong men fled the proud ones crashed

But one small figure did not bend

One heart that would not break or end

Bridge

Not with magic not with might

Not with armies in the night

Just a soul that would not yield

Standing on the open field

The jaws of hell breathed out wide

I stepped into the fire and cried

You shall not pass you shall not burn

This is the oath that I uphold

Chorus

From the dust of the earth I rise and stand

The shield that guards the holy land

I bear no title I claim no name

My sword is truth my heart is flame

I may not be noble but I am bold

Against the beast of ash and gold

For crown for people for this sacred vow

I give my all I stand my ground

Post-Chorus

I stand my ground

(I stand my ground)

I give my all

(I give my all)

Outro

The beast lies still the smoke drifts low

The king is safe the watchmen know

I ask no crown I seek no throne

For I have become what I was shown

A knight in heart alone
