Steel Before the Dawn

[Verse I] Through the smoke of burning skies Marching boots on foreign ground History is written here Where the final line is drawn Orders carved in iron words No retreat, no turning back Brothers forged in fire and mud Hear the thunder of attack [Pre-Chorus] Hold the line, hear the call Stand together, rise or fall [Chorus] Steel before the dawn Hearts of fire, standing strong Through the night, through the storm We will fight till hope is born Steel before the dawn No surrender, no remorse When the world is torn apart We advance with iron hearts [Verse II] Engines roaring, cannons cry Shadows dancing in the flame Every second paid in blood Every loss remembered, named Frozen breath and shaking hands Eyes still burning, spirit wide Against the odds, against the fear Side by side we choose to fight [Pre-Chorus] Hold your ground, brace the flame Tonight we carve our name [Chorus] Steel before the dawn Hearts of fire, standing strong Through the night, through the storm We will fight till hope is born Steel before the dawn No surrender, no remorse When the world is torn apart We advance with iron hearts [Bridge – Spoken] History will remember Not the numbers… But the ones who stood [Instrumental Break] [Heavy marching rhythm, choirs rising, guitars galloping] [Final Chorus] Steel before the dawn Let the enemy take note Through the fire, through the rain We remain, we remain Steel before the dawn When the final horn is blown From the ashes, from the dark Rise the warriors of the mark [Outro] When the silence finally falls And the battlefield grows still Steel remains within our souls Unbroken… undefeated… unbent
