lyrics

In a land forgotten in time
An army awakes
Forged in shadows of the cross
Warriors rise up
Our ranks swell as we conquer
Enslaved as they fall
In the name of our god
Warriors fight on

On the edge of a foreign land
Fire lights the sky
They awake to the sound of steel
The sounds of dying
The scream of a broken race
Echoes in the night
As the sun breaks the horizon
Warriors fight on

We ride for our country
We fight for our land
We march through the chaos
And fall on the battlefields
We fight ‘till our last breath
And die with a heart of steel
We’re soldiers born for battle
Forged in the shadow of the cross

In a land forsaken in time
A nation awakes
In the shadow of brutal gods
Warriors rise up
Our men die as they fight
Our legions will fall
On and on through history
Soldiers fight on
