[Intro]
Shield to shield
Breath to frost
All we loved
Already lost

[Verse]
They met where three black rivers crossed
On ground too hard to take the dead
The sky was bruised, the moon returned
A red wound opening overhead
No banners clean, no voices proud
Only the iron of the crowd
Each man could see across the field
A face his own blood might have healed

[Pre-Chorus]
Lock the shields
Lower the spears
March through the weight
Of a thousand years

[Chorus]
The Last Shield Wall stands in the snow
Where all the bitter bloodlines flow
The Last Shield Wall, no turning back
Red moon above and earth gone black
We came for honor, came for flame
We leave the world without a name
When the final war-horns call
We break against the last shield wall

[Verse]
The first crash shook the frozen plain
Like Thor had split the mountain spine
Axes rose and bodies fell
Two histories bleeding line by line
A chieftain found his brother there
Born of the secret none would share
They knew too late, they knew too well
Then vanished in the war-cry’s swell

[Pre-Chorus]
Push the line
Hold the breath
Every step
Is wedding death

[Chorus]
The Last Shield Wall stands in the snow
Where all the bitter bloodlines flow
The Last Shield Wall, no turning back
Red moon above and earth gone black
We came for honor, came for flame
We leave the world without a name
When the final war-horns call
We break against the last shield wall

[Instrumental]
Blast beats rage, horns collapse
Tremolo storms and thunderclaps
Fiddle screams like widows cry
Choirs rise beneath the sky

[Bridge]
Then silence fell between two blows
A child ran crying through the snows
No clan mark on her torn grey sleeve
Only a voice that begged them leave

[Breakdown]
Hold
Break
Bleed
Wake
Strike
Fall
Last shield wall

[Build-up]
But war once loosed will not obey
The hand that sends it on its way
It feeds, it grows, it learns to crawl
Until it swallows one and all

[Chorus]
The Last Shield Wall stands in the snow
Where all the bitter bloodlines flow
The Last Shield Wall, no turning back
Red moon above and earth gone black
We came for honor, came for flame
We leave the world without a name
When the final war-horns call
We break against the last shield wall

[Chorus]
The Last Shield Wall falls in the snow
And no triumphant horns will blow
The Last Shield Wall, a broken ring
Where no one lives enough to sing
We came for honor, came for flame
We leave the world without a name
When the final shadows fall
We die beneath the last shield wall

[Outro]
Shield to shield
Bone to frost
All we were
Forever lost
