Stand Sure Songtext / Lyric

Wolves Under Sail
Stand Sure Lyrics

Filth across his cheeks
the fierce in his eyes
blood matted hair
He's deaf from the cries
white knuckles tremble
he holds back his fear
he stares across the field
at arrow, blade, and spear
I welcome the shadow
a grand end to my story
But he's gripped in a youth
Too young to know glory
I want to reach out
wipe the tears from his face
But he holds his head brave
I would only bring shame

Stand Sure

We began the last march of the line
Faces of defiance, hiding our pride
The day was lost many lives ago
But we stood shoulder to shoulder
For the final go
Some thought of their wives and others of their gold
The things that we would never again get to hold
But my mind was fixed on a single vision
May I die well in front of my son

Stand Sure

Bury my boy with hazel when his mother has had her time
And a curse on the wretched father for his misfortune to survive
With nothing left but this vengeful quest, in his eyes I must redeem
I shall know no sleep nor fear nor eat till my boy rests in peace
