[Intro] Old walls breathe Dust in the banners Name carved deep Across cracked hammers [Verse 1] Grey in his beard Blood in his past Hands like quarried stone Heart built to last They call on the relic When all others run He shrugs on his war-plate Faces the drums [Pre-Chorus] Crowds on the ramparts Whispers bite his back "Too old Too broken" He laughs at that [Chorus] Druss Stand in the doorway A mountain in a storm Unshaken Unafraid Druss Lift up the legend One more broken charge that never makes the gate If the sky must fall Let it fall on him If the line must hold Let it hold with him Druss Name like thunder in the dust [Verse 2] He’s buried his brothers One grave at a time Knows every weight a promise Leaves on the spine He sharpens his axe On stories and scars Each notch a memory Each swing a star [Pre-Chorus] He hears their breathing Out there in the dark Feels his own heartbeat Answer like a spark [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] He was never chosen Never crowned by fate Just a farmer’s anger Shaped into a blade [whispered vocals] He is not a hero He is just a man Who refuses surrender Again and again [crescendo] So when the night snarls And the young ones shake He shoulders their terror Like a shield that won’t break [Chorus] [Outro] Torches burn lower Steel cools in rain But one empty scabbard Still remembers his name [soft gang vocals] Druss Druss Echo on the stone Old man Old axe Still marches alone
