Lyrics
The cold wind howls across the north,
brothers of the wrench and wire,
from the shield wall!
When sickness rides the freezing gate
And flesh and bone begin to fail
The surgeons fight with blade and thread
To keep our brothers from the dead
Behind their backs upon the floor
We stand against the iron door
Every monitor, every valve we seal
A shield of silicone and steel
Raise the multimeters high
No machine shall falter, none shall die
Check the grounding,
check the league
Every warrior shall be free
Stand the shield while hold the line.
Bound together in design.
From the nursery to the trauma bay.
Death shall take no soul today.
They who have got the hall, the biome still shall never fall.
Shall never fall.
Shall never fall.
La la
Let the storms of winter blow
We keep the hearth fires down below
The punks will hum, the screams will gleam
Fulfilling the old father's dream
The unsung keepers of the clan
Defending every child and man
By the spark in the wire, by the breath in the tank
By the fire of the forge we stand our pose
Until the dawn
Stand the shield, we'll hold the line
Bound together in design
From the nursery to the trauma bay
Death shall take no soul today
Guard the hall, the biome shield shall never fall
All systems combat raya
The shield wall holds
Mid -gods dance
-oh -oh
