Lyrics

[00:22.66] I take a look around,
[00:25.51] The blood of our men has painted the ground
[00:30.71] There are corpses lying everywhere
[00:33.81] Some try to pray, some cry in despair
[00:39.22] As our enemy cuts its way through our lines
[00:42.66] Desperate thoughts take over our minds
[00:45.28] Is this to be the end of our days?
[00:50.24]
[01:11.03] The overwhelming enemy
[01:12.39] Rides our front lines down
[01:13.70] With hate in their faces, with hate in their sound
[01:16.01] Houndreds of men lying wounded on the ground
[01:18.81] No one can help them,
[01:20.57] To their destiny they're bound
[01:22.12] I think of my family, I think of my home
[01:25.12] Interrupted by a fearful tone:
[01:27.83] "We're practically dead, they'll slaughter us all!"
[01:30.78] Through a cloud of dust I see our right wing fall
[01:33.39] This cursed war will swallow us all
[01:39.30] What will happen to our loved-ones,
[01:42.18] The ones we're fighting for?
[01:45.18] I will not stand and watch this army fall
[01:50.51] We will fight back, hear us roar
[02:00.40]
[02:20.13] Pull our lines together
[02:22.48] Our fury is greater than the worst stormy weather
[02:28.23] I grasp the sword in my hand, this is for my brothers,
[02:32.88] This is for my land
[02:36.60] With blood on my face to battle I ride
[02:39.49] With dust in my eyes, with faith in my heart
[02:42.49] Until death do us part
[02:46.20]
[03:32.17] From the skies a man came down to earth
[03:41.08] He lead our way and rode first
[03:45.77] How dark the night may seem
[03:52.02] A new day always heals
[03:57.27]
[04:19.51] I stroll across the field, the morning has broken,
[04:28.16] Our victory's been sealed The hooves have plowed the ground to mud,
[04:31.05] Familiar faces in ponds of blood
[04:36.59] A snowflake lands on my face,
[04:39.73] Melts and runs away
[04:42.33] The sun rose red that day
