[Intro]
[choir
Distant
In Latin-esque syllables]
Ooh-ah
Ooh-ah
Shadows rise
Ooh-ah
Ooh-ah
Calling blood and fire
[Verse 1]
Boots in the frost
Armor singing in the dawn
Breath like smoke
As the banners are drawn
Names on a list
Carved in steel upon my shield
Every step
Every heartbeat
As I walk onto the field
[Chorus]
I raise my sword to the throne of ash and thunder
Let the sky remember every broken vow
If my bones are claimed by storm and summer
Write my story on the wind right now
Throne of ash and thunder
Hear me
Take my fear
I offer blood and breath
Throne of ash and thunder
Crown me
If I fall
Then crown me with death (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Brothers in line
Eyes like embers barely tamed
Prayers half-spoken
To a god we never named
Steel finds steel
Like a choir out of time
And the earth keeps the tally
Of the ones left behind
[Chorus]
I raise my sword to the throne of ash and thunder
Let the sky remember every broken vow
If my bones are claimed by storm and summer
Write my story on the wind right now
Throne of ash and thunder
Hear me
Take my fear
I offer blood and breath
Throne of ash and thunder
Crown me
If I fall
Then crown me with death
[Bridge]
[orchestra swells
Choir low and ominous]
If I’m only one voice in the roar
Will you hear me through the roar
Through the roar?
If the snow drinks deep of the brave
Will you mark this place
This grave
This grave? (woah)
[Chorus]
I raise my sword to the throne of ash and thunder
Let the sky remember every broken vow
If my bones are claimed by storm and summer
Write my story on the wind right now
Throne of ash and thunder
Hear me
Take my fear
I offer blood and breath
Throne of ash and thunder
Crown me
If I fall
Then crown me with death
[Outro]
[choir soaring over held guitars]
Ooh-ah
Ooh-ah
Throne of ash and thunder
Ooh-ah
Ooh-ah
Crown me with death
