Thunder Crest Remains

Lyrics

[Intro] From the black ridge, six torches burned Under a sky where the old stones turned Iron in hand, oath in the rain They carved their banner into the flame [Verse 1] Thunder Crest climbed where the ravens flew With weathered maps and a vow held true The valley shook beneath their stride No crown above them, no fear inside They raised their mark on the mountain wall When every warning said they would fall Through frost-bit fields and the red dawn mist They sealed their fate with a clenched fist [Pre-Chorus] And when the final hour drew near They faced the dark without a tear One voice rose through the falling rain A last command that still remains [Chorus] Say our name, say our name Thunder Crest remains! Through the ash, through the flame Thunder Crest remains! Let the highland hear the claim Let the old bells strike the same Say our name, say our name Thunder Crest remains! [Verse 2] The founder's blade lay beside the stone His brothers gathered, but not alone For every heart that the legend found Joined their blood to the sacred ground The torch went out, but the embers stayed In every oath that the living made The years rolled past like a winter tide Still their crest stands on the mountainside [Pre-Chorus] When the last breath left the eldest's chest He gripped the seal upon his vest He spoke four words through the cold and rain And the cliffs gave back the refrain [Chorus] Say our name, say our name Thunder Crest remains! Through the ash, through the flame Thunder Crest remains! Let the highland hear the claim Let the old bells strike the same Say our name, say our name Thunder Crest remains! [Bridge] Raise the torches, wake the cairn Call them home across the fern From the first stone to the final flame Every generation bears the name [Breakdown] Say it low—Thunder Crest! Say it loud—Thunder Crest! When the old world cracks in two Their oath will carry through [Final Chorus] Say our name, say our name Thunder Crest remains! Through the ash, through the flame Thunder Crest remains! Let the highland hear the claim Let the old bells strike the same Say our name, say our name Thunder Crest remains! [Outro] When the last torch fades When the cold wind reigns Say our name Thunder Crest remains!
