Stone Path of Hydra

Lyrics

Verse 1
Hydra wakes in smoke
Forty thousand boots
Came to salt the fields
And burn the harvest roots
But on the narrow path
Four hundred held the stone
Eyes on the rising dust
Hearts like blackened bone

Pre-Chorus
One line in the heat
One shield in the dawn
They leaned into the storm
And did not move along

Chorus
Hold the line, Hydra
Hold the line
Hold the line, Hydra
Through fire and time
(hold the line)
Hold the line, Hydra
Side by side
Four hundred hearts
Won't step aside

Verse 2
Days crawled like ash
By the broken gate
They heard their own fear
But they learned to wait
Then fathers ran out
Brothers through the rain
Hands on shield and spear
Calling names again

Pre-Chorus
One line in the heat
One oath in the flame
The sons and the elders
Rose and answered the name

Chorus
Hold the line, Hydra
Hold the line
Hold the line, Hydra
Through fire and time
(hold the line)
Hold the line, Hydra
Side by side
Four hundred hearts
Won't step aside

Bridge
Dark over the fields
But the wall did not fall
Small hands, old hands
Heard the same war call
When the dust turned red
And the enemy broke
Hydra stood alive
In a ring of smoke

Final Chorus
Hold the line, Hydra
Hold the line
Hold the line, Hydra
Through fire and time
(hold the line)
Hold the line, Hydra
Side by side
Four hundred hearts
Won't step aside
Hold the line, Hydra
Hold tonight
Hydra lives
Hydra fights
