Verse I
Lay me low beneath the stone,
Where the silver runes are laid.
Lay my spear beside my bones,
Lay my battered iron blade.
Let the priest speak ancient words,
Let the fire kiss my name.
Though my breath be gone from service,
I shall answer all the same.
Chorus
Until ye rise again,
Sleep beneath the mountain rain.
Steel remembers.
Stone remains.
When the bells of Ro’Edyne call,
When her banners cease to fall,
Rise, my brothers.
Rise again.
Verse 2
Many winters shall pass me by.
Many kings shall turn to dust.
Still the gates shall know my oath,
Still the walls shall hold my trust.
Children yet unborn shall laugh
Where I bled in seasons gone.
Let them know their peace was bought
By those who still stand watch below.
Chorus
Until ye rise again,
Sleep beneath the mountain rain.
Steel remembers.
Stone remains.
When the towers sound the horn,
When the city calls once more,
Rise, my sisters.
Rise again.
Verse 3
If the southern fires come,
If the northern darkness falls,
If the sea should break the cliffs,
If the enemy breach the walls—
Wake us from our honored sleep.
Break the silence of the dead.
Give us swords of ancient steel.
Place the helms upon our heads.
Bridge
We asked no heaven for our rest.
No throne beyond the sky.
Our bargain was with silver ink,
Our oath would never die.
The grave is but another gate.
The crypt another hall.
For Ro’Edyne does not forget
The names of those who fall.
Final Chorus
Until ye rise again,
Sleep beneath the mountain rain.
Stone remembers.
Steel remains.
When the drums of judgment sound,
When the ancient seals are found,
Rise, old warriors.
Rise again.
Until ye rise again…
No watch is ever done.
Until ye rise again…
The battle is not won.
Until ye rise again…
Guard the halls below.
Until ye rise again…
When Ro’Edyne calls—
We shall go.
