Banner and Sword (Extended 2)

Verse 1

Beneath stained-glass morning, the banners unrolled

The land calls his spirit, more precious than gold

Honour unyielding, truth cut through the haze

Tempted by power, he never would sway

Pre-Chorus

Blood on the pathway, his courage prevails

Pledging his heart where the promise never fails

Hear the cry of the weary, the hope in the night

He lifts up the fallen, he stands for the right

Chorus

Stand tall in the thunder, forge of the storm

Steel in his eyes and a promise reborn

He’d ride with the humble, fight for the torn

King of the just, by the dawn he’d be sworn

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, never falter, never stray

Oh-oh, let the banners fly today

Verse 2

He walks among the lowly, no stranger to the street

A word for the fearful, no pride in defeat

Eyes ablaze with mercy, wrath for the snakes

For those who bear evil, judgment awakes

Pre-Chorus

Through fire and famine, he carried the truth

Refusing the shadows, a guardian of youth

A lion unbroken, unyielding to night

His sword in the darkness, a beacon of right

Chorus

Stand tall in the thunder, forge of the storm

Steel in his eyes and a promise reborn

He’d ride with the humble, fight for the torn

King of the just, by the dawn he’d be sworn

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, never falter, never stray

Oh-oh, let the banners fly today

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Iron will in legends, a cross burned on his shield

Lifting the fallen, unbroken he will kneel

Ash and glory swirling, his path never bends

For every lost brother, a justice that defends

Verse 3

Sparks on the ground where old empires fall

He rides through the ashes, refusing the call

Of darkness that beckons, of riches or fame

He clings to compassion and honours the Name

Pre-Chorus

No fear in the shadows, no peace in defeat

The fire inside him, refusing retreat

Champion of mercy, thunder in his veins

He carries the burden, unmoved by the chains

Chorus

Stand tall in the thunder, forge of the storm

Steel in his eyes and a promise reborn

He’d ride with the humble, fight for the torn

King of the just, by the dawn he’d be sworn

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, never falter, never stray

Oh-oh, let the banners fly today

Outro

Light breaks on the valley, the battle is done

His armor is battered, but justice has won

Wind carries stories, his legend will stay

King Arthur stands watch till his final day

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, rise above, hold the line

Oh-oh, through the fire, still divine
