[Intro] Beyond the wall, the ravens wheel The iron gates begin to kneel [Verse 1] The Death King rides beneath a shroud His crown a wound beneath the cloud He lays one hand upon the stone And every watchtower stands alone [Pre-Chorus] He’ll take the fields, the towns, the sea Then grind the whole wide world beneath his knee Unless one heart can make him yield Unless one stranger takes the field [Chorus] Hold the wall, hold the line Let the last torch burn its sign From the ranks where no name’s known One will stand against the throne Death may march, the stones may fall Still one voice can answer all Hold the wall until the dawn Till the king of death is gone [Verse 2] No noble blood, no honored blade No songs were sung for this unmade A quiet man steps through the rain With empty hands and steady aim [Pre-Chorus] He sees the gates, he hears the cries He meets the cold beneath dead eyes No promised crown, no chosen name Just one small spark against the flame [Chorus] Hold the wall, hold the line Let the last torch burn its sign From the ranks where no name’s known One will stand against the throne Death may march, the stones may fall Still one voice can answer all Hold the wall until the dawn Till the king of death is gone [Bridge] If every banner turns to ash If every shield is split and dashed Remember who stood first and stayed When fear demanded we obey [Final Chorus] Hold the wall, hold the line Let the last torch burn its sign From the ranks where no name’s known One will break the iron throne Death may march, the stones may fall Still one voice can answer all Hold the wall—the dawn is drawn The king of death is overthrown [Outro] Beyond the wall, the ravens rise A nameless man meets morning skies
