The Night the Wall Comes Down

Sky-high
Reaching endless miles wide
Stands a wall like an armor unyielding
South rides
An unstoppable tide
The armies of death, they are nearing

We swore
Like those who came before
To be the sword in the darkness
They say
We'll soon see the day
We must fight the cold legions heartless

(Until our watch is ended)
Until our days are gone
(Until our watch is ended)
We guard the realms of men

The night the wall comes down
Will never end
The night the wall comes down
They will descend

Night falls
On the great wall of ice
The watchers atop drowned in shadow
Blue eyes
Of the dead as they rise
From the dark rains a firestorm of arrows

Screams fade
In the chaos of blades
They tear the defenders asunder
Lights die
The last flickers of fire
All is lost, stone and ice now crumble

(And now our watch is ended)
As cold seeps in our bones
(And now our watch is ended)
And now their reign begins

The night the wall comes down
Will never end
The night the wall comes down
They will descend
The night the wall comes down
And none left to defend
The night the wall comes down
Will never end

Winter comes
Life undone
Nevermore to see the sun

Endless night
Freezing blight
The grim end you cannot fight

The night the wall comes down
Will never end
The night the wall comes down
They will descend
The night the wall comes down
And none left to defend
The night the wall comes down
Will never end
