[Verse 1]
Boots marching in the ash
Faces set like iron
We cut the dawn
With teeth of the lion
Enemy flags in the mud
Blood on the seam
I hear the old earth
Start to scream
[Verse 2]
Hands on the spear
Knees in the grit and dirt
No saint will save us
We were born for it
Skulls in the fog ahead
Our Drums beating
At the enemies gate
I carry your name
Like a blade of hate
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the war drum
One, two, three, four
Hear the war drum
Break the sea
Black smoke climbs
From the battleground
Hold the line
Hear the sound beat
[Chorus]
War drums in our formation
War drum, march as one
To the beat in the brigade
Till the winter kingdom’s done
War drum, war drum
Beat to a iron rhyming
War drum, war drum
Let the troop hum
[Verse 3]
Horns in the hills
Eyes in the pine
We move like a curse
Through the border line
Stone on the tongue
Taste salt in the air
Stings every open cut
And every old wound
Still fresh and young
[Bridge]
[Choir Build]
Ashes will fall
Names decay
We become
What they made
Then the silence
Splits in two
And the thunder
Calls to you
[Chorus]
War drum in our formation
War drum, march as one
To the beat in the brigade
Till the winter kingdom’s done
War drum, war drum
Beat the iron hymn
War drum, war drum
Let the night begin
[Outro]
One more base
One more scar
Carry the fire
Carry it far
War drum
War drum
