Shadows of War

Across shifting sands into the wastelands

A duty to march out to war

Ready to fight, the last of our line

Our hour of destiny dawns

The horizon on fire, we're down to the wire

Now that we charge 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 over 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

Look them in the eye

As I take their lives

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 over death's door

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 over death's door

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 over death's door
