Shieldwall Lyrics by Âstillian

Waves at Dusk

2017

Scattered throughout the field
Are riderless horses
Fallen men, upon their shields
Waiting to die
Horns blow behind the battle line
A man cries out for courage
Mounted men reinforcing ranks
Ready to die

What cost must mortals pay for this providential land
What wounds must my people bear for thy heavenly law

Blood upon the grassland
And bodies lying still
Gold adorned loyal thanes
Givers of men
On the highest castle walls
And waiting on the hill
Holding back a force of thieves
Destined to fight, we will

What cost must mortals pay for this providential land
What wounds must my people bear for thy heavenly law
What lurks in the deepest caverns of a fallen man's soul
We must pierce the dark and drain it's hope and force it's final breath

Distant silver clouds
Peacefully afloat
Are yet so far pushed
By roaring battle's stroke
This lonely land of ours
In gray shrouded cold
Fell victim to cruel heart
And sword

I have faced a greater foe
An inner beast rising against
Unleashed from iron shackled hold
Fling wide these very gates
I have faced a greater foe
An inner beast rising against
Unleashed from iron shackled hold
Fling wide the gates of war

Fling wide the gates of war
Reclaim
Fling wide the gates of war
For our fallen ones
Fling wide the gates of war
For our realm
Fling wide the gates of war
Of war

What cost must mortals pay for this providential land
What wounds must my people bear for thy heavenly law
What lurks in the deepest caverns of a fallen man's soul
We must pierce the dark and drain it's hope and force its final breath
