The lights go down to the deafening sound 
Thunder clouds rolling in through the night 
My heartbeat pounds as the heavens resound 
In the wide invincible sky 

The lightning strikes from celestial heights 
Goes to ground and testifies 
It's broken chains like symmetrical veins 
Crack the black terrestrial night 

The fortress walls face the numberless hordes 
Will they stand the test of time? 
The hourglass stands almost empty of sand 
Live or die on destiny's shrine 

The cruel wind cries it incessantly whines 
In the face of the battle to come 
In strength and size, this colossal divide 
Is a vast immeasurable one 

The horns that sound strike fear in the proud 
But we're snared and there's nowhere to run 
We'll live or die with heads held high 
Till the mighty victory's won 

The skyline cloaked by the blackening smoke 
That defies the naked eye 
We stand our ground, inextricably bound 
By the ties of friendship and pride 

We flight the bow and wait for the archer's drum 
We strike the blow that's straight to the heart 
Our shields to the hun 
We fight as we try to keep our dreams alive 
That history might recall 
Those who braved the kingdom's rise and fall 
Fought from the city walls 

Retreat or stand is the law of this land 
In the cold hearted thick of the fight 
And death's reign damned my superlative plans 
Making pyres of dreams and old times 

For isengard cast flames through the heart 
Like the fireball crossing the sky 
The helms-deep walls lie breached in the dark 
As we stand defenceless inside 

The brave and pure for a moment stand sure 
Then to sanctuary we fly 
The hordes can't reach, our impregnable keep 
Till the light of dawn when we ride 

We flight the bow and wait for the archer's drum 
We strike the blow that's straight to the heart 
Our shields to the hun 
We fight as we try to keep our dreams alive 
That history might recall 
Those who braved the kingdom's rise and fall 
Fought from the city walls
