[Intro] Walls of Arvandor Cold in the morning light Banners in the smoke Voices in the night [Verse] We came across the eastern plain With winter at our backs Not one army forged in gold But farmers, sons, and packs The fortress rose like frozen hate Its towers black and high And every stone had watched the years The true king’s memory die [Pre-Chorus] No trumpet called our hearts to war No prince had drawn a blade A thousand songs had reached the door Of all the fear he made [Chorus] This is the siege of Arvandor Raise every voice outside the wall We do not come for blood alone We come to make the silence fall This is the siege of Arvandor Let every tower hear us roar The broken throne remembers us The people rise forevermore [Verse] The false king watched from silver glass And laughed behind his guard He saw no threat in hungry hands No danger in the bard But when the first refrain began The stones beneath him stirred For songs he buried long ago Returned in every word [Pre-Chorus] The gates were locked with iron rings The sky was split with flame But every throat that rose to sing Became a royal claim [Chorus] This is the siege of Arvandor Raise every voice outside the wall We do not come for blood alone We come to make the silence fall This is the siege of Arvandor Let every tower hear us roar The broken throne remembers us The people rise forevermore [Interlude] Drums at the gate Choirs in the rain Steel on the stones Song through the pain Arvandor, Arvandor Open your eyes Arvandor, Arvandor Hear how truth rises [Solo] Guitars collide like blades in fire Brass and strings climb ever higher Drums roll thunder, walls reply The city wakes beneath the sky [Bridge] Then from the battlements above A young guard dropped his spear He sang the line his father loved Before he learned to fear Then more joined in from tower stairs From windows barred and cold The city did not break by force It opened from its soul [Breakdown] Open the gate Open the gate Not for the crown But for the fate Open the gate Open the gate The song is now too strong to wait [Build-up] Arvandor Arvandor Hear your children cry Arvandor Arvandor Let the banners fly Arvandor Arvandor No more chains and lies Arvandor Arvandor Rise [Chorus] This is the siege of Arvandor Raise every voice outside the wall We do not come for blood alone We come to make the silence fall This is the siege of Arvandor Let every tower hear us roar The broken throne remembers us The people rise forevermore [Chorus] This is the siege of Arvandor The bells awaken one by one No tyrant stands against the dawn No shadow conquers back the sun This is the siege of Arvandor Let every tower hear us roar The broken throne remembers us The people rise forevermore [Outro] Walls of Arvandor Warm in the morning light Banners in the smoke Truth has survived the night
