Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Riders on the ridge at dawn
The horn sounds far below
Steel is drawn and oaths are sworn
By men who will not go
My brother's hand upon my arm
A promise carved in stone
[Pre-Chorus]
We march into the fading light
We march where none have flown
[Chorus]
Stand and fight
Stand and fight
The banner's raised the sky is torn
Stand and fight
Stand and fight
We ride before the morning's born
[Post-Chorus]
(Ride) Ride
(Ride) Ride
[Verse 2]
A thousand torches mark the pass
A thousand shadows fall
The elder warned us not to cross
We never heard his call
My sword is heavy in my grip
My father's name is mine
[Pre-Chorus]
We charge into the burning wind
We charge the final line
[Chorus]
Stand and fight
Stand and fight
The banner's raised the sky is torn
Stand and fight
Stand and fight
We ride before the morning's born
[Post-Chorus]
(Ride) Ride
(Ride) Ride
[Bridge]
Blood and iron blood and flame
Every fallen name
Blood and iron blood and flame
Nothing stays the same
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Stand and fight
Stand and fight
The banner's raised the sky is torn
Stand and fight
Stand and fight
We ride before the morning's born
[Post-Chorus]
(Ride) Ride
(Ride) Ride
