We crossed the fields of iron where the cold winds prowled Lanterns like a starline on the road we vowed Ash along the gauntlets, night across the sward Every step a promise that the dark can't hoard Raise the stones and set the light Name the dawn and hold it tight Citadel of Dawn, built on the edge of storm Shelter for the weary, a fire to keep us warm Citadel of Dawn, carved in the heart of sky When the shadows gather, we lift the Sun on high The skyline takes attendance as the frost burns back Footprints turn to silver on the daylight's track We mortared broken hours into walls that hold And capped the highest parapet with hammered gold No borrowed throne, no gilded lie Only the work that lifts the sky Citadel of Dawn, built on the edge of storm Shelter for the weary, a fire to keep us warm Citadel of Dawn, carved in the heart of sky When the shadows gather, we lift the Sun on high We lift the Sun on high
