[Verse 1] The border wakes before the sun. Another storm. Another march. Every frozen trail gets crossed... By someone looking for more. They see a kingdom built to last. They think these walls are standing alone. [Pre-Chorus] Take one more step... You'll understand. [Chorus] I'LL BE THE SHIELD! Standing where the snow runs deep. If you come with empty promises... You won't get past me. I'LL BE THE SHIELD! Every mile. Every stone. You didn't find an open gate... You found my home. [Verse 2] The mountains don't forget footprints. The rivers carry every choice. Peace was offered more than once... Don't mistake it for weakness. [Bridge] I don't need another warning. The horizon already knows. [Final Chorus] I'LL BE THE SHIELD! Every banner still flies high. Bring the storm if that's your answer... I'll meet it eye to eye. I'LL BE THE SHIELD! Let the whole world see. As long as this empire stands... You'll have to come through me. Whoa-oh... The Shield.
