The waiting hangs heavy on the heart
It’s courage that binds them in the dark
As winter grows deeper in the field
That’s where the blood of thegns
Will dress the mighty come undone
As feudal masters rage
Only the cowards turn and run
When you fall on your sword
Sacrifice is everything
The hallowed sirens call your name
They call your name
Rebellion sits strongly in the soul
As heathens take orders from the fallen crow
Between the land and sea
Live generations born to war
Still bear the sword of truth
Where old allegiances are sworn and then broken
A homage forsaken
The oracle sees in fire, the coming storm
Fall on your sword
An everlasting legacy
The gods demand humility
Forget the will to survive
All that’s offered is glory and pride
There’s no more to this life
When the cause, it is just
And the overlord stands by your side.
Imperators will claim
Such warriors are made, not born
Curse those who yield in fear
Honour abandoned evermore
When you fall on your sword

Loads of Cliff Burton-era Metallica and Iron Maiden in a 2018 production. Fat layers of excellent vocals not heard since Dio. Form and function match up perfectly. FallenAngel
