[Verse 1] Steel in my hand Leather at my spine Mud on my boots But these eyes still shine Smoke on the hill Trumpets calling thin Fear at my throat But I breathe it in [Chorus] Sword Shield Pride in my chest My will My sails in the wind I stand I swear I won't bend Glory waits where the brave don't end [Verse 2] Names on a flag Stitched in crimson thread Every torn stitch Is a word unsaid Blood on the ground Thunder in my ear I taste the dust But I chew through fear [Chorus] Sword Shield Pride in my chest My will My sails in the wind I stand I swear I won't bend Glory waits where the brave don't end [Bridge] If I fall Then I fall going forward If I break Let me break on the line Every scar is a vow I can’t forfeit Every step is a stake in the sky [Chorus] Sword Shield Pride in my chest My will My sails in the wind I stand I swear I won't bend Glory waits where the brave don't end
