[Verse 1] Cold campfire Mud in our teeth We pass the bottle Share the same fear beneath You say you’re tired Too young to die I laugh too loudly But we both know it’s a lie [Chorus] Once more unto the breach My friend Side by side If this is the end If we fall Then let them say We burned like a banner in the break of day Once more unto the breach My friend We rise We run We don’t pretend If my voice is all I leave Let it howl through the cracks in your shield [Verse 2] Rust-red morning Trumpets like teeth A king walks past us With a crown of sleep He looks so common Like the rest of us But his words light tinder In the dust of our trust [Chorus] Once more unto the breach My friend Side by side If this is the end If we fall Then let them say We burned like a banner in the break of day Once more unto the breach My friend We rise We run We don’t pretend If my voice is all I leave Let it howl through the cracks in your shield [Bridge] What is a kingdom If hearts won’t stay? What is a glory If it rusts in a day? Give me your shoulder Give me your name (hey!) We walk into thunder And we call it brave [Chorus] Once more unto the breach My friend Side by side If this is the end If we fall Then let them say We burned like a banner in the break of day Once more unto the breach My friend We rise We run We don’t pretend If my voice is all I leave Sing it loud when you’re old When you drink To the ghosts on the field
