[INTRO] (low growl) Raise... The Raven Banner... Let the ravens fly... [VERSE 1] The morning breaks with ash and flame, We carve our oath in honor's name. The mountains shake beneath our stride, No fear nor doubt can turn our tide. Our shields are locked, our spears held high, The ravens wheel across the sky. The old gods watch with steady gaze, And light our path through battle's blaze. [PRE-CHORUS] Hear the war horns split the sky! Hear the ravens' battle cry! [CHORUS] Raise the Raven Banner high! Let its shadow fill the sky! Stand as one till victory's won! Never yield to anyone! Raise the Raven Banner high! Honor lives though warriors die! Steel may break and kingdoms fall! Oaths outlive the grave of all! [VERSE 2] No tyrant's chain shall bend our will, Our hearts remain unconquered still. Though death may stand before our eyes, A faithful soul can never die. If this shall be our final breath, We'll greet with song the face of death. For better one true life with pride, Than endless years with shame to hide. [BRIDGE] Raise your shield! Lift your spear! There is nothing left to fear! Stand your ground! Hold the line! Let your honor always shine! The ravens circle overhead... They know the worthy... They know the dead... [BREAKDOWN] Raise it! Raise it! Raise the Raven Banner! Stand! Fight! Honor before life! Stand! Fight! Honor beyond death! [FINAL CHORUS] Raise the Raven Banner high! Let its shadow fill the sky! Every raven knows our name! Every oath becomes a flame! Raise the Raven Banner high! Though we fall, we never die! While one faithful heart remains, Honor's banner still sustains! [OUTRO] (low growl) Raise... The Raven Banner... Forever...
