[Intro – distant horn call, soft wind under mountain strings]
Mist rolls over the grey stone pass
No one knows what waits at last
[Verse 1 – acoustic guitar, soft marching snare]
We left the hearth when the first frost fell
Swords sharpened on the blacksmith's bell
Mothers cried at the village gate
We walked where the old roads wait
[Verse 2 – fiddle joins, steady drum rhythm]
Bones lie where the orcs once stood
Rain washed out in the weald wood
Every mile burns the northern cold
Every breath we carry home
[Pre-Chorus – rising strings, building rhythm]
Dragons circle high above
Fire lights the sky we love
[Chorus – full band, layered harmonies]
We do not fight for crown or gold
We fight for the roofs that kept us warm
For every child that sleeps at night
For every field we left behind
[Interlude – celtic fiddle solo, marching drums]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Verse 3 – deeper guitar, darker tone]
Scales glint on the mountain side
Smoke chokes where the rivers died
Men fall but they do not run
This ground was raised by our fathers' hands
[Chorus Reprise – louder, urgent]
We do not run from flame or fear
We fight for the home that holds our name
Every scar is a promise kept
Every breath we will not rest
[Bridge – quiet, only voice and soft guitar]
When the last fire dies at dawn
We will stand or we will fall
Either way we go home
Either way we are home
[Solo – electric guitar, epic soaring melody]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Final Chorus – full orchestra, choir backing vocals]
Dragons fall and men will fall
But home remains when all is gone
Ash will fade and blood will dry
Our home will never die
[Outro – fading horn, soft wind]
Mist rolls back over the pass
We are coming home at last
