Lyrics
[Verse]
Iron clanks against the blackened gate
The wind howls through the broken slate
A single torch, a dying spark
The world holds its cold, heavy bark
[Verse 1]
Spurs heavy on the frozen ground
Where jagged peaks and ruin sound
He scans the valley, blind and deep
While wolves howl promises they keep
A cloak of heavy wool and soot
Where does the lifeblood flow, or not?
He drinks the water from the stream
That carries ash and bitter dream
[Pre-Chorus]
No armor fits the hollow chest
No purpose bought with rusted test
The crest is cracked, the banner torn
He feels the weight of coming dawn
[Chorus]
Who calls the banner back to stand?
When does the iron heart expand?
Through snow and wind and jagged stone
Is he the sword or is he bone?
The shiver climbs the gravel height
Is there a fire for this knight?
Or just another statue made
By winter's cold, unyielding shade
[Verse 2]
A broken horn lies in the grass
Among the broken, twisted mass
He passes towers, tall and gray
Where ghosts of warriors sleep away
No lady waits in velvet hall
No dragon's breath to sing his call
Just silence stretching, wide and deep
A sorrow while the river sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
No armor fits the hollow chest
No purpose bought with rusted test
The crest is cracked, the banner torn
He feels the weight of coming dawn
[Chorus]
Who calls the banner back to stand?
When does the iron heart expand?
Through snow and wind and jagged stone
Is he the sword or is he bone?
The shiver climbs the gravel height
Is there a fire for this knight?
Or just another statue made
By winter's cold, unyielding shade
[Bridge]
The frost bit deep into the vein
No brother's face to guide the pain
The flagpole snaps, the ribbon tears
A million years of quiet fears
He grips the hilt, the metal cold
A story waiting to be told
But who to speak it to, or why?
Beneath the weary, cloudy sky
[Chorus]
Who calls the banner back to stand?
When does the iron heart expand?
Through snow and wind and jagged stone
Is he the sword or is he bone?
The shiver climbs the gravel height
Is there a fire for this knight?
Or just another statue made
By winter's cold, unyielding shadeThe torch sags low, the flame fades out
No victory, no quiet doubt
Just snow, and stone, and endless space
With nothing left to turn or chase
A single spark, then dark and still
The wind does not care if he will
The wind does not care if he will
