May I win and if I cannot win may I brave the chance They say We are dying, and I say we've only started living To lose all hope rises to see When I shut my eyes What the rest won't see The dead salute And they swim the lakes of the afterlife Waving welcome us To lay down the fight in meadows And when I cover my ears A booming voice Tells me not to noble fear We were fishermen, carpenters soldiers, huntsmen and exiles The best of kind it was the best of time Then they linked ferocious with survival Where we made league Low to highground In plates of ferrite With beast hides Swords and spears that broke legend armies Spiked helmet crowns and shields of Atlas skin We call to make freemen While our wounds dry in the sun We long break the walls contain with the motivation of a thousand ways 'one day' etched into the band we made we differ how 'whats chased cannot be caught' 'and its not won by mythic strength' 'the kingdom sought, inside' every time he says the same the banished prince 'when I was prisoned' 'caged like animal' 'they upset' 'and I say: don't I'm no longer there' 'I'm no longer there but you're still there' and he delights Will we be the blood that dies with man much may bind though the chains will rust to never hold and it lives again to spire Friends we are once more Among the roar They always greed What value more May our most good be lost to the least of evils no may he never return that enters yes While wild reborn A vice roy treads silk And tells wills to what walked lava 'Die to lions' 'for coin' What can a man do but smile at death When called again To where the reckless tensions gain til death's unleashed in painted stripes and mane We remember years large-scale life Lost in a blink As paws the size of a torso slits the arteries to lifeless science Does it entertain The enraged death falls when a spear punctures its heart and now that it no longer murders cheer thunders Good men, will you reason Why send it in They dont know Like we know Two lions died One was man How much is left of what were once fishermen and huntsmen We wear a scar from when we were free men without its hurt nothing were to tell us aside when beast and man die Will not be long Till we see it all again Just one night of real rest And in again 'Where from' A sharp shield Slammed me down 'I'm getting weak' I see them waving And I wave back And I see these walls Dusky and grim The night stacks We've all some role And we find each other as we toll the road By a fireplace His eyes reflect the burning coal 'There is no armor like the faithful reign' and stirs a sword in the fires 'every impurity eventually tires' as we watch the glow of heat Deafening Have us served Are we still in fame Unsame 'May I win' will we be the blood 'and If I cannot win may I brave the chance' that dies with man Another morning And the walls open show They have us against fifty storied vanguards 'watch them' 'they tamed men of iron' 'and they wonder' 'why will we not conquer a living grave' strength in number equal in skill sorely vulnerable by arrogance we are dirt to them they're well equipped this equip 'make sure to move' 'don't stick' 'lightning reflexes' 'won't protect' 'against the masters whip' and next in less than a thoughts time I'm hit and everything dull the intercept of a bull throws me aside stormed like fire pains have I faint in seconds only vague these distant colors like waters rush and twisted metal cries as a shield is crushed shouts fly the grounds are red now azure tint there again I see it clear the lake it soothes every wave as I touch the line knocked aside again they run me over again now another wave shelters and I hear laughter and talking I hear nothing but roar lifted slight every second speeds to regaining strength full in sense they hold me a welcome voice sends rise friend |
