lyrics

Two generals from opposing sides
The look of pure disgust written on their faces
The time draws near let chaos reign
Charge the battlefield never to be the same
The clash of steel a call to arms
We lead the charge
A severed mind echoes of war
This was not our struggle

We were lead to believe this is the only way
It was killed or be killed and we followed blindly
Like sheep lead to the slaughter
Our people were gutted and left on display
It’s time to take back what is ours we border on extinction
Drive the sword back into the hearts of all those whose oppose us

Now’s the time to intervene
This has become the war within
This has become the war within
In the valley of shade we reign supreme
Striving to the fill the void in the realm of dreams

Bring forth the warrior
A name forever cursed
Damned to live in solitude
Locked away to hide the truth
Two generals from opposing sides
The look of pure disgust written on their faces
The time draws near let chaos reign
Charge the battlefield never to be the same
The clash of steel a call to arms
Bring forth the warrior
A name forever cursed
Damned to live in solitude
Locked away to hide the truth
