THE IRON OATH

[Verse] Steel in the darkness. Fire in the rain. We have walked through the valley And returned to fight again. Raise the banners! Sound the horn! Let the age of legends be reborn! *[Verse 1 — deep, commanding vocals]* From the mountains where the cold winds rise, We learned to stand beneath blackened skies. Through the hunger, through the endless night, We forged our courage in the furnace of the fight. No crown is given to the faint of heart, No legend written by those who never start. The road is cruel, the summit far, But we remember exactly who we are. *[Pre-Chorus — drums accelerate]* Hold your ground! Control your fear! The hour has come, the moment is here! Shoulder to shoulder, hearts like stone, We face the storm, but none stand alone! *[Chorus — enormous choir and pounding drums]* SWEAR THE OATH! RAISE THE STEEL! LET THE WORLD KNOW WHAT WE FEEL! THROUGH THE FIRE, THROUGH THE PAIN, WE WILL RISE AND RISE AGAIN! HEARTS OF IRON! SOULS OF FLAME! WE WILL CARVE OUR PLACE IN HISTORY'S NAME! WHEN THE HORNS CALL OUT TONIGHT, WE WILL STAND WITH ALL OUR MIGHT! *[Verse 2 — galloping percussion, fierce vocals]* For the warrior who guards the gate, For the athlete who embraces fate, For the fighter who steps into the light, For the soul who trains beyond the night. Every failure is a lesson learned, Every setback is a fire that burns. Not for cruelty, not for empty fame, But for the honor of a well-earned name. *[Battle Chant — drums and group vocals]* ONE HEART! ONE WILL! STAND FAST! STAND STILL! ONE PATH! ONE FLAME! EARN YOUR HONOR! EARN YOUR NAME! *[Bridge — drums fall away, solo voice]* When your hands are tired, remember why. When your legs grow weak, look to the sky. The strongest soul is not the one who never falls— It is the one who answers when the future calls. *[Final Chorus — full orchestra, brass, choir, pounding drums]* SWEAR THE OATH! RAISE THE STEEL! LET THE WORLD KNOW WHAT WE FEEL! THROUGH THE FIRE, THROUGH THE PAIN, WE WILL RISE AND RISE AGAIN! HEARTS OF IRON! SOULS OF FLAME! WE WILL CARVE OUR PLACE IN HISTORY'S NAME! LET THE MOUNTAINS HEAR OUR CRY— WE WERE BORN TO REACH THE SKY! The oath is sworn. The fire remains. We rise again.
