Beneath the Gold

Lyrics

[Verse 1] At the gate where the cold rain gathers, I take my place with a rusted shield. They come with names they can’t defend, So I stand between them and the field. [Pre-Chorus] No crown can make the frightened kneel; No oath is worth a life concealed. [Chorus] We are the order beneath the gold, A wall of hands when the night turns cruel. We bear the mark, but we guard the small; If one must fall, let it be us all. [Verse 2] The hall is carved with victories, But every empty chair has weight. I learned the measure of our vow By who we carried through the gate. [Pre-Chorus] No hymn can hide a coward’s face; We earn our place by what we brace. [Chorus] We are the order beneath the gold, A wall of hands when the night turns cruel. We bear the mark, but we guard the small; If one must fall, let it be us all. [Bridge] When the banners split and the captains flee, When the strong make sport of the weak, Remember why the oath was sworn: To hold the line till fear is gone. [Final Chorus] We are the order beneath the gold, A wall of hands when the night turns cruel. We bear the mark, but we guard the small; If one must fall, let it be us all. We are the order—our vow remains: No one abandoned beyond these gates. [Outro] Beneath the gold, We stand for all.
