Verse 1 Ash and stone beneath our feet, The blackened walls where nightmares meet, One last stand, no turning back, We face the darkness, hold the line intact. Verse 2 A hopeless fight, a final call, We rise together, one for all, The end may come, but still we sing, To buy the world a chance to breathe. Chorus Stand tall, though the end is near, Cry out, let the world still hear, Through the fire, through the hate, We’ll hold the line at the black gate. Verse 3 The gates swing wide, the shadows roar, The earth is broken, split once more, But still we march into the flame, With nothing left but honor’s name. Verse 4 Through the screams, a silence breaks, The mountain burns, the shadow shakes, The ring is gone, the night undone, The morning light reveals the sun. Chorus Stand tall, though the end is near, Cry out, let the world still hear, Through the fire, through the hate, We’ll hold the line at the black gate. Bridge Even death cannot erase, The fire burning in this place, We fight not for the crown or throne, But for the world we call our own. Chorus (soaring) Stand tall, though the end is near, Cry out, let the world still hear, Through the fire, through the hate, We’ll hold the line at the black gate. Outro Ashes fade and shadows break, The world is free at the black gate.
