Blood and Iron

Verse 1

Smoke still rises from the fields we burned

Marching through the ashes of the world we spurned

Banners torn but still we carry on

Every friend I've buried now is gone

Pre-Chorus

Somewhere in the silence I can hear their cry

From the broken ramparts where we chose to die

Chorus

Stand your ground when the walls are falling

Hold the line when the night keeps calling

Blood and iron in our veins

Survivors bound by ancient chains

Verse 2

Wounds that never heal I wear like crowns

Walking through the rubble of forgotten towns

Rain washed clean the writing on the stone

But I still carry every wound alone

Pre-Chorus

In the hollow echo of the cannon's roar

I find the strength I didn't have before

Chorus

Stand your ground when the walls are falling

Hold the line when the night keeps calling

Blood and iron in our veins

Survivors bound by ancient chains

Bridge

Not for glory not for king

Not for anything they'd sing

Just to see another dawn

Just to know we carried on

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Stand your ground when the walls are falling

Hold the line when the night keeps calling

Blood and iron in our veins

Survivors bound by ancient chains
