Stone and Swords

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Down in the hall of bones By the blackened gate You drew a line in ash And I met you late Torch smoke in your beard Steel on my tongue The dwarven drums kicked hard And the battle was begun Your eyes were all storm glass Mine were all grit I had a scar for luck And I wore it still [Pre-Chorus] Hear that old horn cry Over the broken stone If I fall in this dark I fall to the throne [Chorus] Stone and swords Stone and swords We will not bend We will not fall Stone and swords Stone and swords Raise up your cry And break the wall (Stone and swords) (Stone and swords) [Verse 2] The dragon came low With a furnace in its chest Burning the banners down To the ribs of the west I charged through the ash With a shield half-split You spat out a curse Then you swung and missed The hag on the ridge Kept laughing at the rain But your silver ring Cut through her chain We fought for the keep For the gate, for the name For the child in the tower And the end of the flame [Pre-Chorus] Hear that old horn cry Over the broken stone If I fall in this dark I fall to the throne [Chorus] Stone and swords Stone and swords We will not bend We will not fall Stone and swords Stone and swords Raise up your cry And break the wall (Stone and swords) (Stone and swords) [Bridge] Now the moon hangs thin Like a blade in the sky The fox in the bracken Won't meet your eye So take my hand Through the soot and the rain If the world burns red We’ll build it again [Final Chorus] Stone and swords Stone and swords We will not bend We will not fall Stone and swords Stone and swords Raise up your cry And break the wall Stone and swords Stone and swords Blood on the crest And glory in all (Stone and swords) (Stone and swords)
