The Siege

After all
It came to an end
Fading light
Vanishing dreams

Dominions of wiser men
Erased will lie

Torn down the wall
Break through the defense
The citadel is lost
The city's doomed!

Here dies the word
The bard once spoke
So sing the song of demise
In the end

Hollow lives
Lived in vain
If nothing but the pains
To glorify

I sit through furies
That melancholy unfolds
I step through fires
Trying to avoid defeat
Behold the fiery
Twist of fate and celebrate

Reminiscent of older days
When men were forced to face theomachies

Set to rewrite mythology
We step into the end
As walls come down

We'll cross the line of history
And ride the wings of fate
To death's embrace
