Martyr's Cause

from The Gates of Castle Black by PLC

/

lyrics

Open the
GATES

Facing the cold
Shoulder to shoulder
Sworn brotherhood
Guarding the future

Nowhere to run
Hell frozen over
Misguided sons
Left here forever

Divided we fight
We control our fate
United we stand
We will not obey

Bend the knee
Take the endless pact
Bend the knee
Fall in line and obey

NO!
I will never be
NO!
What you want me to be
I will be what we need to survive

Damn all your politics
Focus on the threat
Don't make me
BECOME YOUR MARTYR

Succumb to the cold
Shattered resolve
The Cabal ends it all
Flashes of silver

Blood drenching snow
But the fires ignite
With a banishing flame
To serve once again

Divided we die
We deserve our fate
United no more
We will not obey

Bend the knee
Take the endless pact
Bend the knee
Fall in line and obey

NO!
I will never be
NO!
What you want me to be
I will be what we need to survive

Damn all your politics
Focus on the threat
Don't make me
BECOME YOUR MARTYR

Weather the cold
Frozen to bone and
Left all alone
Guarding the future

Beyond the wall
Winter is coming
Threatening us all
Protect the wildlings

Sacrifice made
Debt has been paid
Now dead and betrayed
Protecting the kingdoms

Buried in shame
Playing the game
Now traitor to blame
His watch has ended

Guitar Solo: PL

Guitar Solo: Sam

He gave his life
For the cause
We will honour
The true call
To take up arms
For what is right
To defend all
and bring the fight

Back to the wall
and hold the line
Fell the bodies
Miles wide
Harder resolve
We will not fall
Brothers unite
Against the night

Defend the light
Against the tide
Endless armies
Marching nigh
Banners raised
Steely gaze
War cries
Cacophonies

Bend the knee
Pledge to be
Not to a king
But each of thee
True to word
Word to bond
Martyr's cause
Will live on

Bend the knee
Take the endless pact
Bend the knee
Fall in line and obey

NO!
I will never be
NO!
What you want me to be
I will be what we need to survive

Damn all your politics
Focus on the threat
Don't make me
BECOME YOUR MARTYR

My music is loaded with catchy riffs, melodic leads and gruesome vocals that will take you on the ultimate metal journey.
