Lyrics

(Battle rhythm, heavy drum pacing — think old war marches mixed with Reinhardt’s booming presence)

⸻

[Chorus]
Raise the shield and hold the line!
Steel and flame, we do not pine!
Swing the hammer, break the sky!
Live with honor, never die!

⸻

Verse 1
Through fire and ice, through stone and flame,
We charge as one, we fear no name.
The ground may quake, the sky may fall,
But none shall pass our iron wall!

⸻

[Chorus]
Raise the shield and hold the line!
Steel and flame, we do not pine!
Swing the hammer, break the sky!
Live with honor, never die!

⸻

Verse 2
Our backs are strong, our hearts are bold,
With tales of valor proudly told.
The hammer sings, the earth shall break,
For every blow, the cowards quake!

⸻

[Bridge - shouted call and response]
“WHAT ARE WE?” – CRUSADERS!
“WHAT DO WE BRING?” – JUSTICE!
“WHO DO WE FEAR?” – NO ONE!
“WHO STANDS ALONE?” – NO ONE!

⸻

[Final Chorus]
Raise the shield and hold the line!
Through shattered ground, our souls align!
Swing the hammer, break the sky!
FOR THE CRUSADE — DO OR DIE!
