You fight to live
Human bait
Consign to death
Accept your fate.
Face the demons you fear
No more
Give up resistance
Refrain from this war.
Lay down your arms
Your weapons of fire
Commit no more men
To burn on the pyre.
Young though they are
Valiant at heart
Dying for a cause
They didn’t hope to start.
Forgetting your place
In this world that we built
Your confidence in numbers
And the sword in your hilt.
You rise too high
Proud men of the earth
Remember your past
That haunts you from birth.
You take on the Powers
You cannot hope to win
Though your splendour is much
And you make a great din.
We care for you all
Though our ruin you long hail
Safe in your warm halls
Your courage helped by ale.
When you face us you will tremble
The earth itself will shake
Our majesty, unending
The hard path you did take.
Poor humans
Your greed is deadly
Mortality turned into a curse
Your lives devoid of understanding
How a blessing can be reversed.
