Banrígan – Built on the Fallen Lyrics

Built on the Fallen – Banrígan Lyrics

Stone sweat drips from the ceiling

Dust clings silver to my skin

Lanterns swing like tired halos

Shadows sharpen on the din

Boots drum wild on the granite

Breath like smoke in winter air

Steel and emerald on my breastplate

Gold-bound braids in battle's snare

I am the blood and iron crown

I hold the line

I will not bow

Let all the mountains crash and drown

I hold the line

I hold it now

For every brother at my feet

For every oath their heart revealed

I plant my fury in the deep

I am the wall

I am the shield

First one falls with my banner

Torn and crimson in his fists

Second laughs with shattered visor

Kisses earth he’ll never miss

Third one screams me my true name

As the spear splits through his side

Fourth one dies so I keep breathing

Five and six and still they rise

I am the blood and iron crown

I hold the line

I will not bow

Let all the mountains crash and drown

I hold the line

I hold it now

For every brother at my feet

For every oath their heart revealed

I plant my fury in the deep

I am the wall

I am the shield

They fall like sparks from the hammer

Bright and brief and brave and gone

Yet through the clash and the clamor

Their broken bodies bear me on (ohhh)

I am the blood and iron crown

I hold the line

I will not bow

Let all the mountains crash and drown

I hold the line

I hold it now

For every brother at my feet

For every oath their soul revealed

I carve our legend in the deep

I am the wall

I am the shield (I am the shield)
