Across shifting sands, into the wasteland
A duty to march out to war
Ready to fight, the last of our line
Our hour of destiny dawns
The horizon on fire, we're down to the wire
Now that we charge on the guns
A price paid in blood, buried in the mud
And each breath a knife in my lungs
All I see is fear, let the end draw near
After the fight at the dying light
These are the shadows of war
We live in the dust and empire of rust
The ones standing over deaths door
To carry the flag, we do not turn back
Crusaders we never withdraw
Head into the mist, we do not resist
Never forgot what we saw
The darkness draws on, pray we're standing by dawn
With torn flesh and shattered bone
We stand on this plain, to the end we remain
Broken but never alone
Look them in the eyes as I take their lives
After the fight at the dying light
These are the shadows of war
We live in the dust and empire of rust
The ones standing over deaths door
After the fight at the dying light
These are the shadows of war
We live in the dust and empire of rust
The ones standing over deaths door
After the fight at the dying light
These are the shadows of war
We live in the dust and empire of rust
The ones standing over deaths door
