Lyrics
Intro
In the dead of night a cry rang out "I'm trapped inside!" the voice did shout Through walls of oak the echoes came And history would know its name
Verse 1
From stone within a desperate plea Echoed through eternity I'm trapped beyond these walls of oak! The midnight silence nearly broke The captain raised his weathered hand Tonight we make our final stand Axe and Halligan held on high None would yield though all might die
Pre-Chorus
So grab the steel, don't hesitate No wall too strong, no iron gate Should fate itself stand in our way We'll tear its mighty doors away
Chorus
Break the gate, sound the cry We’ll storm the wall or we will die Raise the ram and strike it true This fortress falls by crew of two Heave Ho! Let iron ring We’ll shake these halls like ancient kings No lock can hold, no hinge can stand We take this Keep by our own hand
Verse 2
Blow by blow the splinters flew Every strike rang brave and true Veterans roared, One final swing Like kings returning home in spring Neighbors watched from shadowed halls As thunder shook the ancient walls Then from deep beyond the gate A single voice decided fate
Pre-Chorus
One final strike! One final stand The breach was nearly close at hand Raise the steel! Prepare once more Tonight we'll win this glorious war
Chorus 2
Break the gate, sound the cry We’ll storm the wall or we will die Raise the ram and strike it true This fortress falls by crew of two Heave Ho! Let iron ring We’ll shake these halls like ancient kings No lock can hold, no hinge can stand We take this Keep by our own hand
Breakdown
Hey, heave (Hey, heave) Break that gate (Break that gate) Strike Again (One more blow) No mercy (Give them war)
Bridge
Hold the line One final stand Raise the steel By steady hand ...wait...it's unlocked... ...he just turned the handle
Chorus 3
Break the gate, ah nevermind We fought a war we’d never find Raise a drink and sing it true The siege was won by crew of two Heave ho, now laugh it out There was no glory without a doubt No dragon slain, no land ransacked Just one door that wasn’t latched
Outro
Next time Try the handle
