| A mighty empire has risen and thus must fall
|
| In its shadow, rival kingdoms battle for the spoils of war
|
| Let us hear a humble soldier’s thoughts
|
| Straight out the pages of the past a tale throughout the ages lasts
|
| Longer than a battalion slain like a thousand blades of grass
|
| From bounteous bays to mountain ranges, it’s too late alas
|
| You’re out of range, about to break
|
| No mount or blade could rein it back
|
| A fatal trap, an axe stuck in a stranger’s back
|
| No hesitating hazarding a guess endangers Satan’s wrack
|
| You’re praying for the day that you could say you’re safe at last
|
| But first you must remain tenacious and face a sustained attack
|
| Your encampment cannot stay intact, it’ll be razed and stacked
|
| By wave after wave after wave of faces masked
|
| That invade in packs plagues of rats after table scraps
|
| 'Til the only fact you know for sure is that this fable slaps
|
| The state of battle incubates all manner of shameful acts
|
| But in its absence civilised society just may collapse
|
| It could happen in a few decades or just today perhaps
|
| And it won’t wait to ask what you make of that just stating facts
|
| A mighty empire has risen and thus must fall
|
| Before a dozen lords, a hundred banners and a thousand swords
|
| Heed another humble soldier’s thoughts
|
| I’m the bringer of the force, another slinger of the swords
|
| If we out here talking factions I rep kingdom of the Nords
|
| This is my town, if I catch a Khergit they get torched
|
| I’m the real wolf around here ain’t no worth in bringing yours
|
| I clearly break my enemies, no fear of taking friends from me
|
| I ain’t got no time for that, I’m here to shape my destiny
|
| So if you try and stop me then the light is what you’ll never see
|
| I’ll have to gift your head to king Ragnar as a centerpiece
|
| We real ravens not the people to feel safe with
|
| Deal hatred but we put work in to build greatness
|
| Strength is got us an infantry, real dangerous
|
| Archers giving us bodies we will paint with
|
| This is what it came to, I’m medieval as they make you
|
| I’m the piece of puzzle that you need to fit to play through
|
| Surrender ain’t an option there ain’t anything we can’t do
|
| So meet me on the front line before you meet the angels
|
| A mighty empire has risen and thus must fall
|
| Still they hold the fort in hope the dust settles just as before
|
| Stirring another humble soldier’s thoughts
|
| One of the first moors, torch the city walls
|
| With a curved sword, all praises do swore my first born
|
| Born for the war, let the herd swarm, kill 'em all
|
| Let the blood soak the ground 'til the earth’s warm
|
| Shook them to the Earth’s core before they saw the horses
|
| They heard the roar, blood on the lips of a herbivore
|
| Calling for their lord in a language you never heard before
|
| No soul will reach heaven’s doors, our orders are burn them all
|
| Furthermore, cut their head off, never let the serpent crawl
|
| Furnaces light the night sky, igniting the urban sprawl
|
| Church and school, herb and jewels, curtain closed, curtain call
|
| Sword stab, sword slash, horizontal, vertical
|
| No motion is wasted all formation is purposeful
|
| Death comes for all of us but you going to see her first of all
|
| And there’s fates worse than her, I know you heard before
|
| And once you’re dead you’ll see the worst of all
|
| A mighty empire has risen and thus must fall
|
| Without foundations nations crumble to rubbled walls
|
| Til all that’s left are echoes of a soldier’s thoughts |
