Lyrics

[Intro - Orchestral with spoken words]
Stand before me, young one
Show me what burns in your heart
[Verse 1]
I've watched you train in rain and sun
Your blade strikes fast and true
But can you face what lies ahead?
When steel meets steel, what will you do?
The blood of kings runs in your veins
But that won't save you there
When thunder rolls across the field
Will you stand or will you tear?
[Pre-chorus]
You say you're ready for the test
But words mean nothing now
The gates are opening wide
It's time to show us how
[Chorus]
Will your name echo?
Will they sing of you?
When the great hall calls
What will you do?
Will your name echo?
Beyond today?
When warriors gather
What will they say?
[Verse 2]
The northern wind cuts like a knife
Your brothers wait in line
Their shields will guard your left and right
But victory must be thine
I see the fire in your eyes
The same I once possessed
Before I learned the bitter truth
That glory comes with tests
[Chorus]
Will your name echo?
Will they sing of you?
When the great hall calls
What will you do?
Will your name echo?
Beyond today?
When warriors gather
What will they say?
[Bridge]
[Spoken with rising orchestral backing]
The time has come, young warrior
Show us what lies within
The gates are opening
Let the battle begin
[Verse 3]
Now raise your weapon to the sky
And let your voice ring clear
For on this day you'll make your mark
Or disappear
The ancient ones are watching now
Their judgment swift and pure
The path to glory stands before
Are you worthy? Are you sure?
[Final Chorus]
Will your name echo?
Will they sing of you?
When the great hall calls
What will you do?
Will your name echo?
Beyond today?
When warriors gather
What will they say?
