The Guardian of the Throne v3

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Born of the soil that knows no name

Hands hardened by rain and flame

They spat and said your place is mud

Plough the earth and die in dust

But in this chest a fury grew

A fire the rain never knew

I was not born to bend and fall

I was born to stand tall

Pre-Chorus

I walked the road no one dares tread

Worn by stone and tempered red

Not by birthright not by sword

By a will that outlasts all

Let the world look down on me

I will be the shield they need

Chorus

From the dust I rise from the mud I stand

I am the shield of this holy land

No title no crown no ancient name

My sword is truth my heart is flame

I am not noble but I am bold

I face the beast of ash and gold

For the people the crown this sacred vow

I burn the fear I stand my ground now

Drop

I stand my ground now

I stand my ground now

Verse 2

Wings obscure the sunlight darkness descends

The beast awakens the ground bends

Steel melts shields turn to ash

Mighty men flee proud hearts crash

But one figure does not bend

One soul that will not end

They run they fall they hide they flee

The fire is here and it is in me

Chorus

From the dust I rise from the mud I stand

I am the shield of this holy land

No title no crown no ancient name

My sword is truth my heart is flame

I am not noble but I am bold

I face the beast of ash and gold

For the people the crown this sacred vow

I burn the fear I stand my ground now

Drop

I stand my ground now

I stand my ground now

Bridge

Not with magic not with might

Not with armies in the night

Just a soul that would not yield

Standing on the burning field

The jaws of hell gape wide and deep

I step forward and I speak

You shall not pass you shall not burn

I am the wall and I return

Chorus

From the dust I rise from the mud I stand

I am the shield of this holy land

No title no crown no ancient name

My sword is truth my heart is flame

I am not noble but I am bold

I face the beast of ash and gold

For the people the crown this sacred vow

I give my all I stand my ground now

Outro

The beast is silent the smoke settles low

I stand alone wounded but whole

No crown on my head no gold in my hands

I am the knight that the land understands

Duty done I return to the dirt

Where I belong where I was born
