Şarkı sözleri

[Intro (Spoken over distant war drums and ambient wind) ]
"They came for the crown. We stood for the soul. Not for glory. Not for gold. But for the ones who never came home."

[Verse 1]
We marched through fire, through frost and stone.
Each name a vow, each scar our own.
The sky was torn, the ground was red
But still we rose, though half were dead

We buried fear beneath our boots
And sang in silence, no need for flutes.
The cold was sharp, the nights were long
But every breath became a song

[Pre-Chorus 1 ]
No gods to guide, no fate to trust J
just steel and breath and sacred dust,
No banners bright, no trumpet call
Just the will to rise, and never fall

[Chorus 1]
Shoulder to shoulder, we make our stand
One breath, one blade, one final command
Shieldline unbroken, hearts aligned
If this is the end, let it be defined

[Verse 2 ]
The wind may howl, the arrows fly
But none shall pass while we defy
We are the wall, the last refrain
The echo sung through blood and pain

We’ve seen the eyes of death grow near
But never bowed, and never veered
Each heartbeat forged in iron flame
Each soul a torch that bears no shame

[SOLO]

[Pre-Chorus 2]
No crown to wear, no songs to sing
Just grit and flame and reckoning
No throne to claim, no tale to boast
Just the line we held, and held the most

[Chorus 2 ]
Shoulder to shoulder, we make our stand
One breath, one blade, one final command
Shieldline unbroken, hearts aligned
If this is the end, let it be defined

[Bridge 1 ]
Let the world remember this
Not for glory,
not for bliss
But for the fire
we held inside
When all but hope had died

Let the scrolls be etched in flame
With every nameless, fallen name
We were the storm, the silent cry
The ones who chose to bleed, not lie

[Breakdown (Whispered, layered voices)]
"Hold the line… hold the line…"
"We are the storm… we are the spine…"
"We are the shield… we are the flame…"
"We are the ones who had no name…"

[Verse 3 (Stripped back, intimate)]
Now years have passed, the fields grown wild .
The swords are rusted, the war beguiled.
But still they speak in tavern halls .
Of those who stood when kingdoms fell.

The shieldline lives in every tale I
n every oath, in every scale,
A song of grit,
of blood,
of bone
Of warriors who died unknown

[Final Chorus]
Shoulder to shoulder, we make our stand
One breath, one blade, one final command
Shieldline unbroken, hearts aligned If this is the end—we chose the line

[Outro (Spoken, fading with ambient strings) ]
"Tell them we stood.
Tell them we stayed.
Tell them the shieldline never gave way. ..
And if they ask what courage means— Tell them it looked like us." (looked like ... us)
