Lyrics:
Verse:
A boy stands tall with eager eyes
Beneath the sky, a banner flies
He’s heard the tales, he’s heard the songs
Of battles fought, where the brave belong
With sword in hand and heart so free
He answers now, his destiny
Verse:
His father’s tales of honor bright
Stories told by firelight
He’ll carry on that noble name
To bring his family pride and fame
In fields unknown, he’ll take his stand
A hero’s path, his fate is planned
Pre-Chorus:
A call rings out across the land
With courage drawn, he’ll make his stand
The drums they sound, the march begins
A youth reborn in battle’s winds
Chorus:
To the beat of the drum and the roll of steel
With a heart unscarred and a fiery zeal
For king and kin, he’ll fight this fight
In dawn’s bright light or the darkest night
With friends beside, he won’t turn back
On dusty roads, through fields so black
With hope alive in every stride
He marches on with fearless pride
Verse:
He sees the faces young and bold
Their stories yet to be told
They share his dreams of valor’s grace
Each eager for a warrior’s place
They march as one, they lift their voice
Bound by fate, they have no choice
Pre-Chorus:
Their banners high, they’ll face the storm
With fires lit to keep them warm
The journey long, the skies unknown
Yet in their hearts, a fire’s grown
Chorus:
To the beat of the drum and the roll of steel
With a heart unscarred and a fiery zeal
For king and kin, he’ll fight this fight
In dawn’s bright light or the darkest night
With friends beside, he won’t turn back
On dusty roads, through fields so black
With hope alive in every stride
He marches on with fearless pride
Bridge:
So raise the flag, let courage bloom
For on this road, he finds his doom
With dreams and stars set in his sight
He marches on to endless night
Chorus:
To the beat of the drum and the roll of steel
With a heart unscarred and a fiery zeal
For king and kin, he’ll fight this fight
In dawn’s bright light or the darkest night
With friends beside, he won’t turn back
On dusty roads, through fields so black
With hope alive in every stride
He marches on with fearless pride
Chorus:
To the beat of the drum and the roll of steel
With a heart unscarred and a fiery zeal
For king and kin, he’ll fight this fight
In dawn’s bright light or the darkest night
With friends beside, he won’t turn back
On dusty roads, through fields so black
With hope alive in every stride
He marches on with fearless pride
