Here in a dim place alone I stand Under a night devoid of clamour Pain flows from so many open wounds As I stare at the fire in silence I stare in silence Here's my blood to drip and spill and drain away Here's my life spent of the watch all night and day Holding out through storm and pain Fear now I disdain Here brothers you lie at last in peace I swear I never will forget you Sleep warriors, defeated, slayed and lost I know you're watching over us now Over us now Here's my blood to drip and spill and drain away Here's my life spent of the watch all night and day Holding out through storm and pain Fear now I disdain Now the sky is opening And the earth is shaking Rise the cries from battle As the Gods behold See our shining valour See our honour standing tall Contemplate our courage As we bravely As we bravely die See our shining valour See our honour standing tall Contemplate our courage As the shadows fall
