Old lands are fraught with tales of lies Of men who have died fighting for the cause No man denies the chance for glory The warrior wields his sword Slicing through the flesh Splashing through the blood... Screaming of triumph, screaming of pain Melded together a beacon of dismay It echoes across the mountains never to fade A warning to the wolves to keep away... For those lost in the name of our sins The hope was a peaceful age to begin A blindness we shall live to regret The legions of men Made to defend a child that is hallowed The truth lies within his debt It cheapens your meaningless deaths A sadness never seen An unworthy sacrifice No matter how many have died Like insects having been trampled... You march for an empty ideal Foolishly unaware His death is imminent
