Shield-Wall of Saints

We draw no steel against the flesh and bone We face the shadows from the dark unknown The princes of the air, the kings of night Who seek to drag the world away from light Put up the iron, put the axes down We fight for an eternal, bleeding crown The armor of the Spirit shining bright! We brace against the rulers of the night! The wolves of Hel are howling at the gate! The ancient dragon moves consumed by hate! We do not break, we do not turn and run! We hold the ground beneath the Risen Son! Shield-wall! Saints of the living Lord! Shield-wall! The Spirit is our sword! Shoulder to shoulder, locking up the line! Standing in the shadow of the cross divine! Let the demons shatter on the shield of faith! Drive away the darkness and the ancient wraith! Shield-wall! A thousand brothers standing at my right A thousand sisters holding back the night No gap within the timber or the wood We stand exactly where the martyrs stood The flaming arrows fall like burning rain We raise the shield and push them back again We overcome the shadow by His blood! We hold the line against the rising flood! The wolves of Hel are howling at the gate! The ancient dragon moves consumed by hate! We do not break, we do not turn and run! We hold the ground beneath the Risen Son! Shield-wall! Saints of the living Lord! Shield-wall! The Spirit is our sword! Shoulder to shoulder, locking up the line! Standing in the shadow of the cross divine! Let the demons shatter on the shield of faith! Drive away the darkness and the ancient wraith! Shield-wall! Lock the shields. Hold the line. Lock the shields. Hold the line. By His blood. By the sign. By His blood. By the sign. LOCK THE SHIELDS! HOLD THE LINE! BY HIS BLOOD! BY THE SIGN! Shield-wall! Saints of the living Lord! Shield-wall! The Spirit is our sword! Shoulder to shoulder, locking up the line! Standing in the shadow of the cross divine! Let the demons shatter on the shield of faith! Drive away the darkness and the ancient wraith! Shield-wall! SHIELD-WALL! SHIELD-WALL! SHIELD-WALL!
