The Courage To Die

Now for the fight of our lives
With our banners held high and our brothers by our sides
This is how it begins
In the old tales of glory the righteous are destined to win
But the stories don’t say
Of the fear in our hearts and our longing for homes far away
Of the loved ones we may never see again
What will they do if we fall?
If we fall…

Now we will see for ourselves
With the ordered attack as the archers are unleashing hell
Arrows rain from the sky
Turning men into meat but it’s ours not to reason why
Oh the stories don’t say
Of the mess a man makes as his life’s blood is pouring away
I put faith in the sword in my hand
As we make our way towards the wall
Towards the wall.

Pain and horror’s all I feel
Over the sound of the clashing of steel
My life may end upon this night
But my heart is full of the courage to die.

Fight and we’ll die side by side
Reaping the honour the call for victory
Bleed for the glory you seek
Sealing our fate as we fall unto the breach
And we’ll die side by side
Reaping the honour the call for victory
Bleed for the glory you seek
Sealing our fate as we fall unto the breach.

Smoke clears from the battlefield
A cry bursts forth as the breach is revealed
Charge now, get deep in to the fight
With a heart that’s full of the courage to die.

Pain and horror’s all I feel,
Over the sound of the clashing of steel
My life may end upon this night
But my heart is full of the courage to die.
