Banner Against the Bow
Mist rolls o'er, marrowless bones
The forests all bristle, with voices old
From ash to dust, high is the cost
The fires still burn, for the lost
The spear lies hidden, inside the flood
So do the cries as they drown in blood
They curse their chains from the fiery frost
The fires still burn, for the lost
A wick I won't snuff, and a reed I won't break
A banner against the bow
From the royal to rake, a cross is what it takes
A banner against the bow
Beleaguered castle, a battered heel
The groaning ship, leaks on keel
They shred their livery the storm be tossed
The fires still burn, for the lost
Mist blows south, the sky rolls back
The mountains won't fall, shells won't crack
So the cemeteries burn, the dead are crossed
No more fires, for the lost
The forests all bristle, with voices old
From ash to dust, high is the cost
The fires still burn, for the lost
The spear lies hidden, inside the flood
So do the cries as they drown in blood
They curse their chains from the fiery frost
The fires still burn, for the lost
A wick I won't snuff, and a reed I won't break
A banner against the bow
From the royal to rake, a cross is what it takes
A banner against the bow
Beleaguered castle, a battered heel
The groaning ship, leaks on keel
They shred their livery the storm be tossed
The fires still burn, for the lost
Mist blows south, the sky rolls back
The mountains won't fall, shells won't crack
So the cemeteries burn, the dead are crossed
No more fires, for the lost
