Shields of the North

[Verse 1] From the misty shores of the rugged North, Viking longships set forth, Carved heads of dragons, fierce in their sight, Under the cold gleaming moonlight. Pictish warriors with painted skins, Guardians of the land they're sworn to defend, In the shadow of standing stones, They draw the lines where blood will be sown. [Pre-Chorus] Axes meet shields in the clashing of steel, Ancestors watch from the celestial wheel, The fury of men, as old as the stone, The battle rages where the cold winds moan. [Chorus] Raise the swords, for the honor of the clans, On this battleground, where their destiny stands. Shields of the North, clash by day and night, In the heart of the storm, they fight for might. [Verse 2] Metal rings loud in the echoing glen, Songs will be sung, again and again, Of the clash of the brave, where the brave fell, Where history's heart was forged in the swell. [Chorus] Raise the swords, for the honor of the clans, On this battleground, where their destiny stands. Shields of the North, clash by day and night, In the heart of the storm, they fight for might. [Bridge] Warriors fallen, under the highland sky, Their spirits join the stars, where the brave never die, The battle hymn endures, a tale of might and lore, In the echoes of the mountains, it lives forevermore. [Chorus] Raise the swords, for the honor of the clans, On this battleground, where their destiny stands. Shields of the North, clash by day and night, In the heart of the storm, they fight for might. [Outro] As the dawn breaks over the blood-drenched land, The silent stones alone, still stand. Echoes of the clash, in the morning light, The legends born from the fight.
