Long is the night that the swordsmen must ride
Late is the hour we heed you!
Need is the tempest that drives our ships
And valor the helmsman that guides them
Ride now with honor, ride now with pride
In the morrow looms the fight!

Through night and shadow we shall come
And embrace the dawn

The Longest Night we ride
With fire at our side
The Darkest Night is come
With a fear we will succumb (to)

The longest night we fight
With darkness blurring sight
The deepest night we run
Tomorrow waits the sun!

Trusting in steel and the bowstring alone
Defying the night hours we ride on
Thunder ahead and the fires below
Through the darkness we stride on
With hearts pounding faster and glory in mind
The vanguard is speeding on and on

PreChorus
Through night and shadow we shall ride
through the longest night...

Night is falling, a doubt grips me
whether doom or darkness await
Caught on the edge of the shores of night
In the midst of the raging maelstrom
Will the stars in the heavens still guide our way
Will the fallen angels rise up
To end this longest night...?

Chorus
