Lyrics
The Enemy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A cry of pain and shout
The call of war is out
Roaring guns throughout the night
Gothic lines stare in fright
Bodies burn and ash from flame
Treaties here won't save the pain
Chorus:
The enemy…the enemy's around
The enemy…taking more ground
The enemy…the enemy is here
The enemy…the enemy is fear
A deserter of the field
Is shot as he yields
Courage for the damned
Who's bodies return to sand
Chorus:
The enemy…the enemy's around
The enemy…taking more ground
The enemy…the enemy is here
The enemy…the enemy is fear
Be strong thru the battle
And not a spoil of war
Those who retreat
Suffer evermore
A wound is a blessing
Though you feel pain
Cowards die slow
Heroes don't go…
You're winning the battle
But loosin' the war
Look at your allies
Fearing the sword
Alone in the dark
A soldiers last mark
A violent life
A cut-throats knife…
Heading north th race is on
Reach the alps before they come
Be brave and hold your guns
Get ready the charge is on…
THE END IS NEAR THE EARTH IS GONE!!!
