[Intro] Rain on the armor Ash in the wheat Storm over blackened fields Mud at our feet [Verse] We won the hill by sunset We lost a hundred names The night came down in silence And washed the blood with rain The fields that fed the kingdom Were burned from edge to edge The plow was split and buried Beside a broken hedge [Pre-Chorus] What is a crown if children weep What is a throne if widows sleep Beside the doors no sons shall shield Beneath the storm over blackened fields [Chorus] Storm Over Blackened Fields Tell me what the battle yields If every victory cuts like steel And every wound is slow to heal Storm Over Blackened Fields Still my burning heart reveals I fight not for glory, gold or pride But for the land where hope survived [Verse] A farmer gave us water With trembling, hollow eyes He said the lords had taken The harvest and the skies I knelt beside his doorway And laid my sword down low A king who cannot listen Has no right to rise and grow [Pre-Chorus] The thunder rolled across the plain Like judgment carved in iron rain And in the mud, my oath was sealed Beneath the storm over blackened fields [Chorus] Storm Over Blackened Fields Tell me what the battle yields If every victory cuts like steel And every wound is slow to heal Storm Over Blackened Fields Still my burning heart reveals I fight not for glory, gold or pride But for the land where hope survived [Instrumental] Rain falls Steel rusts Men march Because they must [Bridge] Let no song forget the poor Let no king ignore the door Where hunger waits with empty hands For rulers who have failed their lands [Breakdown] Not for gold Not for fame For the fields For the flame [Build-up] Through the storm and through the cries I saw a kingdom in their eyes Not in halls or shields But in blackened fields [Chorus] Storm Over Blackened Fields Tell me what the battle yields If every victory cuts like steel And every wound is slow to heal Storm Over Blackened Fields Still my burning heart reveals I fight not for glory, gold or pride But for the land where hope survived [Chorus] Storm Over Blackened Fields Let the thunder be our shield Let the rain wash fear away Till the dawn reclaims the day Storm Over Blackened Fields Still my burning heart reveals I fight not for glory, gold or pride But for the land where hope survived [Outro] Rain on the armor Ash in the wheat A king must hear The people’s heartbeat
