Templar's Oath

INSTRUMENTAL Intro

CHOIR

Hold the line

Hold the line

Through the fire

Hold the line

Verse 1

Dust on the road, smoke on the sun,

Ten thousand shadows, marching as one.

Crimson on white, steel in the rain,

Every bell in the kingdom is calling my name.

I carry an oath like a stone in my chest,

No road back home and no promise of rest.

They came for the walls, for the weak, for the crown—

Let them come to the gate.

We are not backing down.

Pre-Chorus

When the sky turns black

And the war drums roll,

We become the wall

Between the wolves and the soul.

CHORUS

Raise the iron halo!

Let the cathedral thunder and shake!

We are the fire

The enemy could never take.

When the kingdom turns to ashes

And the night swallows the road,

We don't kneel to the darkness—

WE MAKE THE DARKNESS KNEEL!

CHOIR

Make the darkness kneel!

Verse 2

Shield to shield, hear the battle line breathe,

Every man has a fear underneath.

Kings sell heaven for a fistful of land,

Then call it divine with the blood on their hands.

But faith isn't gold.

Faith isn't fame.

It isn't a throne

With a holy man's name.

It's carrying the wounded when your body says run.

It's standing in the breach when you're the only one.

Every heartbeat a hammer, every footstep a vow—

If the end wants an answer,

It can hear it now.

Pre-Chorus

When the arrows fall

And the cold winds blow,

We become the wall

That will not let go.

CHORUS

Raise the iron halo!

Let the cathedral thunder and shake!

We are the fire

The enemy could never take.

When the kingdom turns to ashes

And the night swallows the road,

We don't kneel to the darkness—

WE MAKE THE DARKNESS KNEEL!

ORCHESTRAL INTERLUDE

CHOIR

Hold the line

Guard the flame

No surrender

No retreat

BREAKDOWN

NO CROWN!

NO GOLD!

NO GLORY FOR THE PROUD!

ONLY THE OATH

WHEN THE WAR DRUMS ARE LOUD!

BREAK OUR SHIELDS!

BURN OUR NAMES!

TURN THE SKY TO A FIELD OF FLAMES!

YOU CAN TEAR DOWN THE TEMPLE—

BUT THE FAITH REMAINS!

THE FAITH REMAINS!

BRIDGE

I once wore vengeance like a chain,

Blessed every wound and worshipped every pain.

But mercy struck deeper than the edge of a sword—

A man becomes a monster

When he fights like the horde.

So let history remember

When the final banners fall:

We were not born for conquest.

We were born to guard the wall.

FINAL CHORUS

RAISE THE IRON HALO!

LET THE CATHEDRAL THUNDER AND SHAKE!

WE ARE THE FIRE

THE ENEMY COULD NEVER TAKE!

When the kingdom turns to ashes

And the bell is

And the last war bell is tolled,

We will stand among the ruins

With the light inside our souls.

We are the shield!

We are the flame!

Not for the crown!

Not for a name!

We don't kneel to the darkness—

WE MAKE THE DARKNESS KNEEL!

CHOIR

MAKE THE DARKNESS KNEEL!

MAKE THE DARKNESS KNEEL!

OUTRO

CHOIR

Hold the line

Guard the flame

When the swords are silent

Let the light remain
