Brothers of the Shield
Cold wind rising across the
northern sea, Steel in our
hands, our brothers beside me.
Torches burn beneath a
blackened sky, The ravens wait as we prepare to die.
Hear the drums, hear the horns,
Feel the earth beneath our feet.
Tonight we march into the storm,
Tonight we make our names complete.
Boots hit the earth as the shield wall forms,
Dark clouds gather as we march through the storm.
Axes raised and the banners fly,
We see the enemy across the other side.
No man stands alone when the battle draws near,
The brother at my side is the reason I have no fear.
We've crossed the frozen mountains,
We've sailed the darkest sea,
And if tonight is our last night,
Then tonight we die free.
Raise your shield, Stand your ground.
Let the war drums shake the ground.
Side by side, We face the flame.
Brother, remember my name.
BROTHERS OF THE SHIELD!
STANDING AS ONE! BROTHERS OF THE SHIELD!
WE FIGHT UNTIL IT'S DONE!
Blood and steel, Fire and rain,
We will rise and fight again.
If one falls, We all remain.
BROTHERS OF THE SHIELD!
REMEMBER OUR NAME!
The arrows fall like winter rain,
Steel meets steel and the ground turns red.
The cries of war fill the frozen air,
But I know my brothers are standing there.
One takes a wound,
another takes his place,
No fear remains upon a warrior's face.
We don't fight for gold,
We don't fight for fame,
We fight for the brother Who would do the same.
Raise your shield, Stand your ground.
Let the war drums shake the ground.
Side by side, We face the flame.
Brother, remember my name.
BROTHERS OF THE SHIELD!
STANDING AS ONE! BROTHERS OF THE SHIELD!
WE FIGHT UNTIL IT'S DONE!
Blood and steel, Fire and rain,
We will rise and fight again.
If one falls, We all remain.
BROTHERS OF THE SHIELD!
REMEMBER OUR NAME!
Hold the line! Hold the line!
Shields together! Stand and fight!
Hold the line! Hold the line!
No surrender! Not tonight!
One blood! One oath!
One fire!
One fate! One shield!
One war! Together! WE STAND!
The night grows cold as the battle fades,
Smoke rises slowly from the fields we made.
I look around and count every face,
Some are gone, but their names remain.
We lift their shields beneath the northern lights,
And swear their memory will never die.
For every brother lost beneath the sky,
A thousand voices will carry him high.
If I fall, don't let me lie alone,
Carry my shield and carry me home.
Tell my story by the firelight,
Tell them I stood with my brothers that night.
And when the old gods call my name,
I'll cross that bridge without shame.
For I know when my final battle comes,
My brothers will remember what I've done.
BROTHERS OF THE SHIELD!
STANDING AS ONE! BROTHERS OF THE SHIELD!
OUR BATTLE IS NOT DONE!
Blood and steel, Fire and rain,
We will rise and fight again.
Through the darkness, Through the flame,
Our brothers live within our name.
BROTHERS OF THE SHIELD!
HEAR OUR BATTLE CRY!
BROTHERS OF THE SHIELD!
TOGETHER WE WILL RIDE!
When the ravens fill the sky,
When the final warrior dies,
Let the whole world know our name!
BROTHERS OF THE SHIELD!
WE WERE BORN TO FIGHT!
WE WERE BORN TO STAND!
TOGETHER! The drums grow quiet,
The fires burn low.
The northern wind begins to blow.
But across the mountains,
Across the sea, Our brothers' names will never cease to be.
One shield. One oath.
One brotherhood. BROTHERS OF THE SHIELD.
