Lyrics
[Intro] [Instrumental: sparse guitar harmonics and airy strings] [Verse 1] Ash falls softly on the frozen ground Steel-blue morning, no one makes a sound I carry names carved into rusted stone Every scar says i was not alone [Pre-Chorus] Through the frost, through the fire I climb higher, higher [Chorus] Raise the blackened banner to the storm Break the shape that kept us worn When the old world calls us back below We strike the match and let it show [Verse 2] Ravens circle over shattered gates We learned to turn our fear into a blade The narrow path is splitting underfoot Still we advance where lesser hearts would look [Pre-Chorus] Through the frost, through the fire I climb higher, higher [Chorus] Raise the blackened banner to the storm Break the shape that kept us worn When the old world calls us back below We strike the match and let it show [Bridge] No throne, no chain, no borrowed crown Can pull these living spirits down Let every broken oath ignite We are the answer in the night [Instrumental: faster harmonized guitar lead] [Final chorus] Raise the blackened banner to the storm Break the shape that kept us worn When the old world calls us back below We strike the match and let it show [Outro] The stone remembers every step The fire answers what is left
