Eternal Vanguard - The Shieldbearer Lyrics

He was known far and wide
A knight whose shield never wavered
A protector of the innocent, steadfast and strong
The last to fall when darkness gathered

The enemy came like a tide
But still he held the line
Not for glory, not for fame
But for the lives that stood behind

In death, he stood as in life
A shield unbroken, a will unbent
The gods saw in him something more
And raised him from the ashes of war
Aegis rises, the Shieldbearer reborn
To fight once more at the break of dawn

I found him where the battle had raged
His body cold, but his purpose clear
He gave his all to hold back the night
To give the world another year

I knelt before the gods and pled
For his strength, for his unyielding heart
Not as a mortal bound by flesh
But a guardian who would never part

In death, he stood as in life
A shield unbroken, a will unbent
The gods saw in him something more
And raised him from the ashes of war
Aegis rises, the Shieldbearer reborn
To fight once more at the break of dawn

His shield became a beacon bright
A symbol of hope against the night
The gods granted him a new command
To stand with us and protect the land

Now he stands at my side
Aegis, the Shieldbearer, proud and true
A symbol of strength, a wall of steel
In the Vanguard's ranks, his fate is sealed
