"Battlegrounds" lyrics
Some thousand years been counted down
Kings and queens have lost their crowns
Live by the sword and you're gonna die
By the sword
Empires built on broken bones
Conquerors carved their names in stone
Where are they now everything's
Withered away
They have fallen one by one
Building castles to the sun
Only ruins can be found
On battlegrounds
All their glory days are gone
So much pain but nothing's won
Only ruins can be found
On battlegrounds
We fight for land that will be here
Long long after we've disappeared
More wanting more that's just
The way of the world
The winner writes the history books
The pain and blood is overlooked
Written in ways so it will suite their own game
Some thousand years been counted down
Kings and queens have lost their crowns
They have fallen one by one
Building castles to the sun
Only ruins can be found
On battlegrounds
All their glory days are gone
So much pain but nothing's won
Only ruins can be found
On battlegrounds
Kings and queens have lost their crowns
Live by the sword and you're gonna die
By the sword
Empires built on broken bones
Conquerors carved their names in stone
Where are they now everything's
Withered away
They have fallen one by one
Building castles to the sun
Only ruins can be found
On battlegrounds
All their glory days are gone
So much pain but nothing's won
Only ruins can be found
On battlegrounds
We fight for land that will be here
Long long after we've disappeared
More wanting more that's just
The way of the world
The winner writes the history books
The pain and blood is overlooked
Written in ways so it will suite their own game
Some thousand years been counted down
Kings and queens have lost their crowns
They have fallen one by one
Building castles to the sun
Only ruins can be found
On battlegrounds
All their glory days are gone
So much pain but nothing's won
Only ruins can be found
On battlegrounds
