Lyrics:

Verse:
Beneath the banners, torn and frayed
They stood in silence, debts unpaid
Through fields of ash, they forged their way
Their shields bore marks of yesterday
No names were carved, no songs were sung
Yet battles raged where they had begun
Their honor lost to time’s cruel hand
But their spirit guards this weary land

Pre-Chorus:
Their names have vanished, their deeds unsung
Yet their shields still stand where the battle was won

Chorus:
Shields of the forgotten, standing in the dust
Guardians of honor, in their strength we trust
Though their voices silence, their echoes remain
A legacy unbroken through sorrow and pain
In shadows they linger, where courage is drawn
Shields of the forgotten, their memory lives on

Verse:
The fire burned, the night was cold
Their stories lost, their hands grew old
A thousand lives they fought to save
But no one knelt beside their graves
Through endless storms, they bore the weight
Unseen, unheard, yet bound by fate
Their shields now rest where none can see
Yet their sacrifice set us free

Pre-Chorus:
Their names have vanished, their deeds unsung
Yet their shields still stand where the battle was won

Chorus:
Shields of the forgotten, standing in the dust
Guardians of honor, in their strength we trust
Though their voices silence, their echoes remain
A legacy unbroken through sorrow and pain
In shadows they linger, where courage is drawn
Shields of the forgotten, their memory lives on

Verse:
Through ages past, their shields decay
But the fire they lit still lights the way
For every triumph, every scar
They stood as beacons from afar
Forgotten names, yet stories told
In whispers faint, their hearts of gold
Their courage carved in stone and flame
Though time may steal their rightful claim

Pre-Chorus:
Their shields may falter, their banners may fall
But their spirit endures, the strongest of all

Chorus:
Shields of the forgotten, standing in the dust
Guardians of honor, in their strength we trust
Though their voices silence, their echoes remain
A legacy unbroken through sorrow and pain
In shadows they linger, where courage is drawn
Shields of the forgotten, their memory lives on

Bridge:
Their shields, though broken, held the line
Through endless wars and endless time
No anthem sung, no crown bestowed
Yet through their deeds, the future flowed
They stood unseen, where shadows lie
Their strength remains, though they may die

Chorus:
Shields of the forgotten, standing in the dust
Guardians of honor, in their strength we trust
Though their voices silence, their echoes remain
A legacy unbroken through sorrow and pain
In shadows they linger, where courage is drawn
Shields of the forgotten, their memory lives on

Final Chorus:
Shields of the forgotten, their strength never fades
Through the mist of time, their courage invades
Though their shields may crumble, their spirit ascends
In the hearts of the brave, their story never ends
In shadows eternal, where battles were won
Shields of the forgotten, they shine like the sun
