Lyrics They Shake the Earth - Besieged

They Shake the Earth

Over the hill marches the army.
Ten thousand strong, I hear them coming
And with each step they shake the earth.
We will run or we will die
They paint each city they pass red with the blood of its people, with no remorse
This is the end.
Like a cloud of locusts, they overtake the land and leave
behind desolation
The eyes that have seen the terror (and lived to tell of it) cry for us
Inaction has brought us here, and here is where we’ll stay
This is life as we know it
And why shouldn’t death reflect the life that we have lived?
Stagnant we perish
Blind we will die, because blind we have lived
