[Intro]

Count the dead

[Verse 1]

Grimshard, lord of northern Reach

Heed the dread Hel can teach

Despair in halls of burning keep

Taste the tears, kinfolk weep

See the twilight realm you rule

Land aflame, flesh our fuel

[Chorus]

Inspire men at arms, the brave who have not fled

Led ire on final charge, until no soul is left

Count the dead

[Verse 2]

Graybeard, swing your broken sword

Killing arcs' terminal stroke

Let battle-cry rip from throat

Lungs fill with acrid smoke

Swallow bile of livid fear

Which you choke so cavalier

[Chorus]

Inspire men at arms, the brave who have not fled

Led ire on final charge, until no soul is left

Count the dead

[Bridge]

Cataracts cloud your streaming eyes

Glory fades in dying light

Banners bright drained of color

Gray in dusk of deadly night

Old lion maimed, draw your knife

End your worthless life

Kneel before the raven hordes

Of ice, fire and strife

Lord Warden, where's your flock?

Sons lie slain at your feet

Daughters shamed by reaver's cock

Your champions butchered meat

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Grimshard, lord of northern Reach

Heed the dread Hel can teach

Despair in halls of burning keep

Taste the tears, kinfolk weep

See the twilight realm you rule

Land aflame, flesh our fuel

Upon the carcass of the world

Cenotaph for the scourged

[Chorus]

Inspire men at arms, the brave who have not fled

Led ire on final charge, until no soul is left

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

Count the dead
