Cairns of the Brave

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Banners torn on the frozen moor

A thousand winters keep their score

My grandmother sang their names to me

How the brave ones fell to set us free

Pre-Chorus

Steel remembers what the bards forget

Every vow a forge still burning yet

Chorus

Rise ye legends long asleep

Rise from cairns and caverns deep

Rise ye legends crowned in flame

The mountains still recall your name

Post-Chorus

Rise rise

Rise rise

Verse 2

I climbed the pass where the oath was sworn

Past the cairn of a battle-worn

Horn

Their shadows walk the ridge at night

Silent wardens of the ancient fight

Pre-Chorus

Ash remembers what the years erase

Every scar a story time can't trace

Chorus

Rise ye legends long asleep

Rise from cairns and caverns deep

Rise ye legends crowned in flame

The mountains still recall your name

Post-Chorus

Rise rise

Rise rise

Guitar Solo

Bridge

(Father) Daughter hear the hammer fall

(Daughter) Father hear the clarion call

(Father) We are echoes of their will

(Daughter) Then their fire is burning still

Breakdown

Break the shieldwall break the frost

Nothing noble ever lost

Break the shieldwall break the night

Carry forward carry light

Chorus

Rise ye legends long asleep

Rise from cairns and caverns deep

Rise ye legends crowned in flame

The mountains still recall your name

Chorus

Rise ye legends long asleep

Rise from cairns and caverns deep

Rise ye legends crowned in flame

The mountains still recall your name

Post-Chorus

Rise rise

Rise rise

Rise
