Gods of War

You took us into battle
Into war, to tragedy
You promised us survival
You gave us misery
I came here with your soldiers
With your Gods of war I roam
But your Gods are slowly dying
Their souls to the unknown

With this field of blood before me
I hear the fallen scream
I see the look upon their faces
And it swallows me with fear
This ground so rich in sacrifice
We shed our blood for you
You brought us here as saviours
As saviours now we're through

Chorus
-
Blood spills in the arena
Is this worth fighting for?
Welcome to this field of glory
One by one we fall.

Life becomes a memory
A bugle played at dawn
Welcome to this field of glory
Welcome, Gods of war.
-

And as the day grows colder
There's no honour for the brave
The angry sound of crossfire
Drowns me in its wake
A warrior no longer
I am offered to the grave
I came out here a hero
One more life you couldn't save

I lie here now in silence
A face without a name
A lonely teardrop falls
In this, my cold release from pain
And I look towards the heavens
With this, my final breath
As life begins to fade to black
I pray 'lest we forget'.

Chorus
-
Blood spills in the arena
Is this worth dying for?
Welcome to this field of glory
One by one we fall.

Life becomes a memory
Broken dreams left wanting more
Welcome to this field of glory
Welcome, Gods of war.
