Rise

Rise
The hope of ashes
Now stand among the damned
Long winter begat by flame
A betraying sun
Wrought by the hands of men
And I am become death
Staring into the sun
Never seeing again
Going blind from the raging light
Could there be life again? Crawling out of the ash
Spreading delicate wings to rise
What is a universe without an audience?
Rise and live
Touch the stars
As glorious fools

Fire and Pain
06:22
|

We walk through the fields
For the sons we’ll never see
In agony
we prepare the slaughter here
In every hand and hair
Fear Sweat cloying thick
gun smell In the air
Marching on and on
We tread upon the ground
Beating down everything that lived before
No one can stop us now
We must stay this course
Everything we’ve known is gone
Make widows and orphans
Hold this line
Hold the line
Fire
Pain
Run til you bleed
Turn and fight, stay on your
Feet to die Spending your
Life for this useless defeat
Feed the war fresh blood
Young souls march into the flood
And I stand by screaming in the rain
As all around me, fire and pain

Empire Dead
06:25

Alone
This dead place
Echoes
Ghosts and shadow
Gloom
Where we stood
Now empty
No one left to see
Our doom
These skies to fall
Empire dead
Empire dead
Fall to ashes
Raped souls of men
Dead dog in bloom
Worm’s meat we all
Dying too soon
This empty womb
A grave
Silent as the crypt
in which we lie
To sleep eternal
And face what dreams may come
When the sky came down
And the sunrise failed
The trees all fell
Children old and frail
Dust and dry bones
Carpet their homes
We shuffled on
We shuffled off
When the sky came down
And the sunrise failed
The trees all fell
Empire dead
We shuffled on
We shuffled off
one by one
We each will fall
Bare bodkin’s kiss
Nose to the stone
This last alone

Gallows Prayer
07:23
|
|||
When the war rends the wise
And hope is lost
Find me here in my cell
A coward’s lair
I weep for our city
They scale the walls
With hooks and rope
Strong bodies made to kill
The best of you
Run out to fight
Flashing steel,
The blood a river
And I alone
I weep for our city
The greatest choice: what to die for.
though in chains, I would do it for you
Hear me now; this, a gallows prayer
I recall wind blown in her hair
Take me down, still my beating heart
Cut me down
