Lyrics
Before my eyes spans a tide
The kind which we have never faced against before
Behind my back is a writhing mass
Civilians who are desperate in the face of war
Bound to my blades are unflinching hands
With palms holding the promise of peace, restored
A god-sent wall that gold adorns
Whose vibrance won't be garnished by the stain of gore!
So do you hear us calling?
Like the voices of angelic choirs!
My brothers' voices roaring
We will drown out their monstrous sounds!
As the last light's shining hope
We strike down with vengeful blows!
Just one hundred strong, but that holds the line
We make their momentum slow!
To a standstill, we hold them back
If we're the fire they've lit the match!
I'm only encouraged
To repel another attack!
Somehow, beside me
I see one of us on our knees
I see the light escape his eyes
And take revenge on those who made him bleed!
We know our goal, quiet our thoughts
Direct our purpose, and aim our shots!
Ignore the mounting smell of blood and metal
As if we were drawing lots!
Although your stomach is tied in knots
I cannot prevent every loss
There are innocents who shouldn't have to accept this
I won't let them suffer for naught!
Another soldier will hit the ground
Succumb to destiny's bitter sound
And I shoot down a hundred
But we're only fifty now!
I take every chance to breathe that I can
There is no retreat, little respite
When far behind me I see the greatest of sights
The herd we held
Slipped away from the onslaught
Make our deaths worth the price; please use the time that we bought!
Spurred by the lives that we saved
Let out a cry!
There's not an ounce of regret
I'm overwhelmed with pride!
To my defiant shout
A final twenty reply
But we will proudly carry on
Until the time that we die!
Though they take our lives from us
They cannot take the light from us!
For those we cherish
We die in glory!
