[Intro] Pale dawn on steel Ash in the air Hands on the hilt A half-spoken prayer [Verse 1] Boot prints in dust Names etched in rust Every scar a banner I wear Broken banners On the spears Still they point me there [Pre-Chorus] Hear that far bell calling my name Through the wound and the weight and the flame I was carved from the clash and the roar I was born for more [Chorus] Glory wakes in thunder When the brave hearts break But never bend Raise the sky asunder We will ride this fire to the end Through blood and stone We carve a throne On the edge of the world we stand Glory wakes in thunder In these calloused hands [Verse 2] Cold wind It bites Gold on the heights Shining on a promise I made Every shadow On the road Falls beneath my blade [Pre-Chorus] If I fall Let the story remain In their songs In the smoke In their veins I will burn like a star in the dark I will leave my mark [Chorus] Glory wakes in thunder When the brave hearts break But never bend Raise the sky asunder We will ride this fire to the end Through blood and stone We carve a throne On the edge of the world we stand Glory wakes in thunder In these calloused hands [Bridge] [piano and voice only] When the banners fade to gray Will they speak my name? If the crown is bone and clay Is it worth the pain? [Chorus] [full band and choir] Glory wakes in thunder When the brave hearts break But never bend Raise the sky asunder We will ride this fire to the end Through blood and stone We carve a throne On the edge of the world we stand Glory wakes in thunder Glory in these hands
