[orchestral intro]

[verse 1]
Oh
There is fire in the air that I am breathing
There is blood where the battles rage
These are faces I will not remember
Will I fight for the queen or the slave?

A treacherous part
To play with a heart of courage
Where the wind from the north bodes the dragon
And the armies and legions have formed
We have camp for the night, food and cover
Fading ghosts in the shadows of war

[Chorus]
Battleborne
Battleborne
Battleborne
Battleborne

[verse 2]
Gone
All the villagers led out to pasture
The black wing of death as their liege
Felt the ground, it was bare from the plunder
Soldiers that lie at my feet
The maidens were lost
Wading across an ocean
On a ship heading south to the mainland
I am standing in wake of the storm
I was raised by the wolf and the stallion
This sword was battleborne

[Chorus]
Battleborne
Battleborne
Battleborne
Battleborne
