歌詞
[Verse 1]
Dust on the ramparts
Wind through the crumbled stone
We patched these cracked old walls
Called this ruin home
Lanterns on the catwalk
Rifles lined in a row
Somewhere out past the water
We saw that first red glow
[Pre-Chorus]
Brother looked at brother
Hands that used to shake
“Hold the line together
This is ours to make”
[Chorus]
Battle for the Castle
We stand where the ocean roars
Boots in the broken concrete
Hearts nailed to these doors
Steel in the sky comes screaming
But we won’t turn and run
Battle for the Castle
We rise with the rising sun
[Verse 2]
Engines on the horizon
Like thunder in a cage
Shadows in metal halos
Dropping down in rage
Stars on painted banners
Marching in gleaming rows
We’re in patched-up duster coats
But we’re aiming steady, close
[Pre-Chorus]
They got shining armor
We got rust and scars
They talk about their order
We just guard these yards
[Chorus]
Battle for the Castle
We stand where the ocean roars
Boots in the broken concrete
Hearts nailed to these doors
Steel in the sky comes screaming
But we won’t turn and run
Battle for the Castle
We rise with the rising sun
[Bridge]
[Band drops to half-time, fiddle carrying the melody]
Fire on the water
Ash in the rain
I hear my own breathing
Drowning the pain
“If I fall, you hold it”
“If you fall, I try”
Two friends in the floodlight
Shouting at the sky (hey!)
[Chorus]
Battle for the Castle
We stand where the ocean roars
Boots in the broken concrete
Hearts nailed to these doors
Steel in the sky comes screaming
But we won’t turn and run
Battle for the Castle
We rise with the rising sun
[Outro]
When the smoke is drifting
Over shattered stone
We carve our names in concrete
Call this fortress home
Dust on the ramparts
Wind through the crumbled stone
We patched these cracked old walls
Called this ruin home
Lanterns on the catwalk
Rifles lined in a row
Somewhere out past the water
We saw that first red glow
[Pre-Chorus]
Brother looked at brother
Hands that used to shake
“Hold the line together
This is ours to make”
[Chorus]
Battle for the Castle
We stand where the ocean roars
Boots in the broken concrete
Hearts nailed to these doors
Steel in the sky comes screaming
But we won’t turn and run
Battle for the Castle
We rise with the rising sun
[Verse 2]
Engines on the horizon
Like thunder in a cage
Shadows in metal halos
Dropping down in rage
Stars on painted banners
Marching in gleaming rows
We’re in patched-up duster coats
But we’re aiming steady, close
[Pre-Chorus]
They got shining armor
We got rust and scars
They talk about their order
We just guard these yards
[Chorus]
Battle for the Castle
We stand where the ocean roars
Boots in the broken concrete
Hearts nailed to these doors
Steel in the sky comes screaming
But we won’t turn and run
Battle for the Castle

Hearts nailed to these doors
Steel in the sky comes screaming
But we won’t turn and run
Battle for the Castle
We rise with the rising sun
[Outro]
When the smoke is drifting
Over shattered stone
We carve our names in concrete
Call this fortress home
音楽のスタイル
country, Country-rock ballad with melodic, heroic energy; twangy electric and acoustic guitars over a steady mid-tempo groove, warm bass, and tight drums. Fiddle doubles the main hook in the intro and chorus, with gang-vocal harmonies on the title line. Male vocals with a storytelling verses, big open-strummed choruses, and a guitar-fiddle tradeoff in the bridge for that cinematic wasteland showdown feel.
