Tighten the Ranks Lyrics


(Music by Lord J. H. Psycho

Lyrics by Lord J. H. Psycho)

Cold rain my sole companion where others fear to tread

I walk the warrior’s trail through days so cold and dead

My faith has never wavered, my will is true and tried

Few or none at all are those who dare march by side

Come the next offensive, come forth, dastardly foes

Less and less in number, our fury only grows

So fly now, all you four winds, and spread my urgent call

When enmity surrounds us it’s time to stand, not crawl

And let the false ones turn their backs when they show their real traits

Let them join their true peers, no room here for dead weights

Not once through years of hardship have we strayed from our path

One glance at what surrounds us inflames our minds with wrath

We breathe the clash of metal, our hearts pound for the fight

Each act of insurgence only whets our fierce desire

A glorious prize awaits us beyond the howling night

Another day on the frontline, another trial by fire

Where all kinds of treachery abound

Undaunted still as one we stand our ground

See how our days are growing shorter, darker, colder

A solid stance is what these times demand

Would you rather live with a yoke on your shoulders

Or die unconquered with a sword in your hand?

Raised by stern defiance, the battles shall rage on

Long after we’re gone as long before we came – our honour has won

No time to mourn the fallen, their vengeance lies ahead

The road is blessed by the noble blood they’ve shed

Our ranks are tighter, yet we know no defeat

Onwards, onwards, onwards, no retreat

I would sooner meet my demise

Than ever force my knees to bend

Read the truth burning through my eyes

A warrior soul till the very end
