The Guillotine
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.
So lock and load
Mercenaries
I see the smoke from the hilltop
They march one by one
The battled starts
Adversaries
We bathe in our blood
The worst is yet to come
(We've reached the covenant)
To kill what we have started
(Kill the machines)
We've spawned to fight
In the darkest hour
They really need to know
We really gotta go
(We fight to live, we fight for pride)
They really need to know
(we won't back down, the weak won't survive)
We really gotta go
We stay here tonight
(Don't let them find us or we're dead)
Promise me you won't leave my side
(The warmest place to lie my head)
And when the sun comes up we fight
(Don't let them find us or we're dead)
So promise me you won't leave my side
(Trace the blood back to the grave)
The smoke has cleared
Thousands are destroyed
(They send signals, no salvation)
We fight in lock out
Scope is ready to go
Armed with explosives
(Spartans stand alone)
They really need to know
We really gotta go
(We fight to live, we fight for pride)
They really need to know
(we won't back down, the weak won't survive)
We really gotta go
We stay here tonight
(Don't let them find us or we're dead)
Promise me you won't leave my side
(The warmest place to lie my head)
And when the sun comes up we fight
(Don't let them find us or we're dead)
So promise me you won't leave my side (2x)
Charge the gates
With rust on their gears
They seek destruction
And kill the functions (3x)
