[Verse 1]
E5                                       D5  E5  F#5
 Beat the warning the sound of the drums
E5                 D            C
 Set the beacons afire for them all
E5                                     D5  E5  F#5
 Call to arms all the men far and wide
E5                      D        C
 Have to fight now for dynasty pride at stake
E5                                 D5  E5  F#5
 The invaders repel from the north
E5                    D              C
 Keep out nomads who came from the plains
E5                                       D5  E5  F#5
 Northern grasslands awash with them all
  E5                        D             C
Blocking the tribes that invade from the south of us


[Chorus]
 Dm       C            G     Am
Rallying round to the call
        Dm        C           G
We can hear far away are the sound of distant drums
          Dm       C           G     Am
And they need everyone at the wall
        Dm         C             G
So the day of our judgement has now begun to fall


[Verse 2]
E5                                D5  E5  F#5
 Survive on ledges bitten in dust
  E5                       D         C
Knowledge and virtue is stricken by lust
 E5                                       D5  E5  F#5
Really believe that they're coming for us
 E5                    D         C
Dancing on graves of those who bled for us
  E5                              D5  E5  F#5
Driven away by our endless desire
 E5                 D             C
Defeat by anger and our greatest fire
E5                                 D5  E5  F#5
Attack again and try as they might
 E5                  D        C
Hold them again and see them running

[Verse 3]
 Am        C              Dm               F
Now under siege have the real strength to hold them now
 Am        C             F     G
Have to believe that we can repel them
 Am           C           Dm      F
Faith in the years our ancestors taught us
 Am         C            D5              F
Have the belief that we can protect the wall
  Am         C          Dm     F
Try if they can we will overthrow them
 Am           C             F    G
Fight to the last they can never own us
 Am        C                 Dm     F
Battle of wills we'll fight to the last man
 Am         C            D5
Honour our dead so they never fought in vain

 E5               D5  E5  F#5
Hold our fortune
E5          D    C
Avenge the merciful
 E5                 D5  E5  F#5
Hold the great wall
 E5          D    C
Never fall again
E5              D5  E5  F#5
Arrows falling
 E5     D    C
Dark obli--vion
 E5            D5  E5  F#5
Live in spirit
 E5               D    C
Live to tell our sons


[Chorus]

Rallying round to the call

And they need everyone at the wall
        Dm         C             G
So the day of our judgement has now begun to fall
