Across shifting sands into the wastelands A duty mot march out to war Ready to fight the last of our line Our honor of destiny dawns The horizon on fire we're down to the wire Now that we change on the guns A price paid in blood buried in the mud And each breath a knife in my lungs All I see is fear let the end draw near After the fight at the dying light These are the shadows of war We live in the dust and empire of rust The ones standing at death's door To carry the flag we do not turn back Crusaders we never withdraw Head into the mist we do not resist Never forget what we saw The darkness draws on pray we're standing by dawn With torn flesh and shattered bone We stand on this plane to the end we remain Broken but never alone All I see is fear let the end draw near After the fight at the dying light These are the shadows of war We live in the dust and empire of rust The ones standing at death's door All I see is fear let the end draw near After the fight at the dying light These are the shadows of war We live in the dust and empire of rust The ones standing at death's door
