Lyrics
Intro
Pale dawn on steel
Ash in the air
Hands on the hilt
A half-spoken prayer
Verse 1
Boot prints in dust
Names etched in rust
Every scar a banner I wear
Broken banners
On the spears
Still they point me there
Pre-Chorus
Hear that far bell calling my name
Through the wound and the weight and the flame
I was carved from the clash and the roar
I was born for more
Chorus
Glory wakes in thunder
When the brave hearts break
But never bend
Raise the sky asunder
We will ride this fire to the end
Through blood and stone
We carve a throne
On the edge of the world we stand
Glory wakes in thunder
In these calloused hands
Verse 2
Cold wind
It bites
Gold on the heights
Shining on a promise I made
Every shadow
On the road
Falls beneath my blade
Pre-Chorus
If I fall
Let the story remain
In their songs
In the smoke
In their veins
I will burn like a star in the dark
I will leave my mark
Chorus
Glory wakes in thunder
When the brave hearts break
But never bend
Raise the sky asunder
We will ride this fire to the end
Through blood and stone
We carve a throne
On the edge of the world we stand
Glory wakes in thunder
In these calloused hands
Bridge
piano and voice only
When the banners fade to gray
Will they speak my name?
If the crown is bone and clay
Is it worth the pain?
Chorus
full band and choir
Glory wakes in thunder
When the brave hearts break
But never bend
Raise the sky asunder
We will ride this fire to the end
Through blood and stone
We carve a throne
On the edge of the world we stand
Glory wakes in thunder
Glory in these hands
