As the Shadows Fall Lyrics

Here in a dim place alone I stand
under a night devoid of clamour
pain flows from so many open wounds
as I stare at the fire in silence
I stare in silence

Here’s my blood to drip and spill and drain away
here’s my life spent of the watch all night and day
holding out through storm and pain
fear now I disdain

Here brothers you lie at last in peace
I swear I never will forget you
sleep warriors, defeated, slayed and lost
I know you’re watching over us now
over us now

Here’s my blood to drip and spill and drain away
here’s my life spent of the watch all night and day
holding out through storm and pain
fear now I disdain

Now the sky is opening
and the earth is shaking
rise the cries from battle
as the Gods behold

See our shining valour
see our honour standing tall
contemplate our courage
as we bravely
as we bravely die

See our shining valour
see our honour standing tall
contemplate our courage
as the shadows fall
