  • Beat the warning, the sound of the drums
    Set the beacons afire for them all
    Call to arms all the men far and wide
    Have to fight now for dynasty pride at stake

    The invaders repel from the north
    Keep out nomads who come from the plains
    Northern grasslands awash with them all
    Blocking the tribes that invade from the south of us

    Rallying 'round to the call
    We can hear far away are the sound of distant drums
    And they need everyone at the wall
    So the day of our judgement has now begun to fall

    Survive on ledges bitten in dust
    Knowledge and virtue is stricken by lust
    Really believe that they're coming for us
    Dancing on graves of those who bled for us

    Driven away by our endless desire
    Defeat by anger and our greatest fire
    Attack again and try as they might
    Hold them again and see them running

    Rallying 'round to the call
    We can hear far away are the sound of distant drums
    And they need everyone at the wall
    So the day of our judgement has now begun to fall

    Hear them coming, ready, now we wait
    Must be steadfast, must be patient
    Must believe in, that we can win
    What will save us, the great wall

    Now under siege, have the real strength to hold them now
    Have to believe that we can repel them
    Faith in the years, our ancestors taught us
    Have the belief that we can protect the wall

    Try as they can, we will overthrow them
    Fight to the last, they can never own us
    Battle of wills, we'll fight to the last man
    Honour our dead so they never fought in vain

    Hold our fortune, avenge the merciful
    Hold the great wall, never fall again
    Arrows falling, dark oblivion, live in spirit, live to tell our sons

    Rallying 'round to the call
    We can hear far away are the sound of distant drums
    And they need everyone at the wall
    So the day of our judgement has now begun to fall Writer/s: Adrian Smith, Steve Harris
