"Shadows Of War" lyrics

"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
