So Begins the War Lyrics

as the kiss of dawn glints off one thousand blades
and oaths are sworn and promises are made
we will stand and fight as brothers we do say
and side by side shall see another day of this war

and so it begins - and so begins the war

as I grip my sword
for my fate I knew I would
born in a forge
the steel we'll quench in blood

as the horns do call us across the bridge of swords
we are honour bound - and so begins the war
as the sun may rise for the last time
onwards we march to fight and die

with our strength and pride
on adventure we embark
to glory we ride
from our families depart

we shed no tears
as far from home we march
and feel no fear
as courage fills our hearts

and so it begins - and so begins the war
and so it begins - and so begins the war

to the sky I raise my sword
and so it begins
to the sky I raise my sword
and so it begins
and so begins the war
to the sky I raise my sword
and so it begins
and so begins the war

as our flags unfurled
lift in the morning wind
with voices raised
of our heroes we do sing
armoured in faith
the gods shall save our skins
when new day breaks
our victory we win

as the horns do call us across the bridge of swords
we are honour bound - and so begins the war
as the sun may rise for the last time
onwards we march to fight and die

and so it begins - and so begins the war
and so it begins - and so begins the war

as the horns do call us across the bridge of swords
we are honour bound - and so begins the war
as the sun may rise for the last time
onwards we march to fight and die
