Songs Of The Fallen

Intro – Distant Fiddle, Low War Drum, Deep Male Chant

When the morning mist was rising

And the hills were painted gold

We gathered by the river

With our stories yet untold

The horns began to call us

From the valley far below

And every man remembered

There were people waiting home

Verse 1 – Deep Male Vocal

We were young when we departed

With our fathers' blades in hand

We swore beside the standing stones

To protect our native land

We carried songs from mothers

And the blessings of our wives

We promised we'd return again

But war decides our lives

Through the rain and through the darkness

We marched beneath the grey

With every step beside our brothers

Taking us farther away

Pre-Chorus – Rising Drums, Building Fiddle

And if tomorrow takes me

Don't let my story fade

Remember that I stood beside you

When the final charge was made

Chorus – Powerful Celtic Male Choir

Raise your voice for the fallen

Raise your hands to the sky

For the brothers who stood beside us

And the ones who said goodbye

We may fall upon the battlefield

But our spirits won't be gone

For the songs of those who came before us

Will carry our names on

Oh, brothers beneath the sky

Together we will stand

Bound by blood and bound by honor

And the love of our homeland

Verse 2 – Full Percussion, Heavy War Drums

The rain fell hard that morning

And the valley shook with sound

We could hear the distant thunder

As the enemy came down

No man asked his brother

If he was afraid to die

He simply stood beside him

And looked him in the eye

There were fathers there and sons there

There were brothers side by side

Every man carried a memory

Of someone waiting for his return

Pre-Chorus – Building Drums, Rising Choir

And when the battle calls you

And the road becomes unclear

Remember those who stand beside you

And the ones who brought you here

Chorus – Bigger Celtic Choir, Heavy Drums

Raise your voice for the fallen

Raise your hands to the sky

For the brothers who stood beside us

And the ones who said goodbye

We may fall upon the battlefield

But our spirits won't be gone

For the songs of those who came before us

Will carry our names on

Oh, brothers beneath the sky

Together we will stand

Bound by blood and bound by honor

And the love of our homeland

Bridge – Slow Fiddle, Emotional Deep Male Vocal

If I don't see the sunrise

Tell my mother I was brave

Tell her that I kept my promise

And the brothers that I saved

Tell my love I still remember

The last words she said to me

And when the wind blows through the valley

I'll be there upon the breeze

Quiet Celtic Chant – Almost Whispered

Brother to brother

Hand to hand

We gave our lives

To guard our land

Brother to brother

Side by side

Even in death

We will not divide

Final Chorus – Massive Celtic Choir, War Drums, Fiddle, Full Orchestra

Raise your voice for the fallen

Let the ancient mountains hear

For the men who gave their tomorrows

So that we could still be here

We may fall upon the battlefield

But our spirits won't be gone

For the songs of those who came before us

Will carry our names on

Oh, brothers beneath the sky

Let the old songs carry through

When the world remembers warriors

Let it remember me and you

Outro – Distant Fiddle, Low Drum, Male Choir

When the morning mist is rising

And the battlefield is still

Hear the voices of the fallen

Echoing across the hills

Brother to brother

Forever we remain

Our bodies may return to earth

But our songs will still remain
