TEMPUS — “Stand and Fight”

[Intro] Drums in the distance Fire in the sky Tonight we find out Who will stand and who will hide [Verse 1] Hear the horns across the plain Boots are marching through the rain Every banner in the wind Knows the battle will begin No one knows who wins today Kings and empires fall away When the steel is finally drawn Titles mean nothing at the dawn [Pre-Chorus] Feel your heartbeat Feel the ground When the war drums start to sound No tomorrow No disguise Look your enemy in the eyes [Chorus] Tempus! Stand and fight Raise your blade into the night Tempus! Hear the call Victory or lose it all We don't ask Who will survive We just prove That we're alive Tempus! Lord of battle Stand your ground And stand and fight [Verse 2] There is honor in the scar Not in claiming what you are Every warrior has known Fear when standing there alone Courage isn't having none It's still standing when it comes Take your fear and hold it tight Then walk with it into the fight [Pre-Chorus] Feel your heartbeat Feel the ground Hear a thousand voices sound Friend or rival Wrong or right Every soul is tested tonight [Chorus] Tempus! Stand and fight Raise your blade into the night Tempus! Hear the call Victory or lose it all We don't ask Who will survive We just prove That we're alive Tempus! Lord of battle Stand your ground And stand and fight [Post-Chorus] Hey! Raise the banner Hey! Sound the horn Hey! Every warrior Knows why they were born Whoa-oh Hear the thunder Whoa-oh Feel the ground When the Lord of Battles comes The whole world hears the sound [Verse 3] Some will conquer, some will fall War will make no kings immortal Every crown and every throne Turns to dust and broken stone So don't fight for empty fame Don't believe you'll live through name Fight because the choice is made Then face the price that must be paid [Bridge] No prayer can promise victory No god can make you brave No prophecy can swing the sword That only you can raise So when the line begins to break And every instinct says to run Plant your feet into the earth The battle's just begun [Breakdown] One heart One blade One chance Be brave No crown No throne Stand up Hold on [Build] Drums! Louder! Drums! Louder! Let the battlefield remember us! [Final Chorus] Tempus! Stand and fight Raise your blade into the light Tempus! Hear the call Even heroes sometimes fall We don't know Who leaves alive That's the reason Why we fight Tempus! Lord of battle Stand your ground And stand and fight Tempus! Hear the thunder Tempus! Hear our cry Win or lose We face the battle Standing tall beneath the sky [Outro] The drums will stop The smoke will clear Some will leave And some stay here But when the horns call out again We'll stand We'll fight Until the end.
