[Verse 1] Boots on the cobblestone Sunrise roar Trumpets from the ramparts We’re sons of war (hey!) Gold on our shoulders Dust in our hair Laughing through the bruises like we never cared [Chorus] Banners in the sky Raise them high Raise them higher Let the colors ride the wind Through the smoke and through the choir Banners in the sky Hear the crowd Hear the cry We were born to stand and sing As the drums of glory ring (oh) [Verse 2] Ale on our armor Fire in our chest Stories in the scars where the steel once pressed Hands on each other Brothers in a line Every shattered shield now a toast to time [Chorus] Banners in the sky Raise them high Raise them higher Let the colors ride the wind Through the smoke and through the choir Banners in the sky Hear the crowd Hear the cry We were born to stand and sing As the drums of glory ring [Bridge] [Chant – crowd call] Ho! Ho! For the crown that we defend Ho! Ho! For the ones who won’t bend Ho! Ho! For the feast that never ends Ho! Ho! For the blood and for our friends (hey!) [Chorus] Banners in the sky Raise them high Raise them higher Let the colors ride the wind Over castle stone and fire Banners in the sky Hear the roar Hear the reply We are legends when we shout And our names will never die (oh yeah)
