Lyric
Count the dead!
♪
Grimshard, Lord of Northern Reach
Heed the dread Hell can teach
Despair in halls of burning keep
Taste the tears, kinfolk weep
See the twilight realm you rule
Land aflame, flesh our fuel
Inspire men at arms, the brave who have not fled
Lead ire on final charge, until no soul is left
To count the dead
♪
Greybeard swing your broken sword
In killing arcs' terminal stroke
Let battle-cry rip from throat
As lungs fill with acrid smoke
Swallow bile of livid fear
On which you choke so cavalier
Inspire men at arms, the brave who have not fled
Lead ire on final charge, until no soul is left
To count the dead
♪
Cataracts cloud your streaming eyes
Glory fades in dying light
Banners bright drained of colour
Grey in this dark deadly night
♪
Old lion maimed draw your knife
End your worthless life
Kneel before the Raven Hordes
Of ice, fire and strife
♪
Lord Warden, where's your flock?
Sons lie slain at your feet
Daughters shamed by Reaver's cock
Your champions butchered meat
♪
Grimshard Lord of Northern Reach
Heed the dread Hell can teach
Despair in halls of burning keep
Taste the tears, kinfolk weep
See the twilight realm you rule
Land aflame, flesh our fuel
Upon the carcass of the world
Cenotaph for the scourged
Inspire men at arms, the brave who have not fled
Lead ire on final charge until no soul is left
