[Verse 1] The lantern burned low by the mill Dust on the boots, iron in the will Old Joren said, keep your line One step off and you pay in time The river cut black through the stone A hundred names carved in bone I heard the gates groan in the rain And every brother called my name [Pre-Chorus] Hold fast, hold fast When the shadows lean Hold fast, hold fast Keep your feet between [Chorus] Stay in the row Stay in the row Hearts like steel But eyes on the road Stay in the row Stay in the row One wrong turn And the dark takes hold [Verse 2] The banners snapped over the bridge Ash in the teeth, frost on the ridge We marched past the hollow gate While the horn wind sang of fate Then Mara fell to a broken knee She laughed and said, "Don't wait for me" I dragged her up through the frozen glow And shouted back, "No, we stay in the row" [Pre-Chorus] Hold fast, hold fast Hear the old drum beat Hold fast, hold fast Keep the line complete [Chorus] Stay in the row Stay in the row Hearts like steel But eyes on the road Stay in the row Stay in the row One wrong turn And the dark takes hold [Bridge] [Whispered Story] At the mouth of the pass The king's own guard was gone Only our fire, only our scars Only the vow we carried on [Instrumental Break] [Solo 1] [Solo 2] [Final Chorus] Stay in the row Stay in the row Raise your blade And don't let go Stay in the row Stay in the row We were lost Now watch us grow Stay in the row Stay in the row Hear the bells Through the frost and snow Stay in the row Stay in the row Till the last light falls below
