Under the Grey Banner Lyrics


Facing the northwinds

On high ground we stand

In the air a thousand banners

Flying the honour

Of peoples joined in bitter strife

Darkened green for the wood-elves

Crimson red for dwarven lords

Deep azure blue for men with the hearts to defy

Brass horns are sounding

we drink our last ale

filled with cold determination

praising the ancients

as dark lines spill out on the plains

See the view stretched before me

It's familiar somehow

Why am I here?

Why was I sent to this trial?

You think you can stand before me? You are mistaken!

No! I'm filled with the wrath of a god,

ignited by a righteous flame!

See how you're burning with zeal, and yet so unknowing!

Die! I make you pay for your crimes, red, the grey banner dyed!

With steel I will redeem

For I know what I've seen in my dreams

One brother has to find his demise

Fool! Can't you see

that you were sent to perish before me?

See the blackness for my eyes

How can this be,

Were the scriptures all lies?

Oh bewildered horizon...

What? What is this? Who is this girl, who dares to strike me?

Take my life for another's

Now fall! As he has recovered...

So we are free

Wake from a dream

Glorious deed

But she's lost unto me

See, all will rise

From lands to the sea

But forever she'll live on in my memory
