Impending Doom

Exposition:

In this final battle

To determine the age

A man shall rise

To take his place

From humblest beginnings

From the poorest of lives

The end will be drawn

From inside his mind

For the hubris of man

Shall bring about her end

And now bare witness to this beginning of the end

Swing the blades

And bring them down on heads of stone

We the legion, we stand alone

Behold this dauntless horde they come as one

Feel the world it shakes

They march just to rip apart our veins

Around the battles and the screams of death

I stand surrounded

Bloody smile crosses my face

This is how I'll have it

After countless slain now they still come

With one false move you're lying in your blood

They conquer us

With authority

From an ancient land,

Lain far across the sea

Push on to take the great unknown

The fire's burning all around us

When, encircling

Impending doom

But I, I must survive

If I, I alone

I awoke, on a bed of picked clean bones

Scream in anguish, we die alone

Without a sound I raise my aching head

Above the stars' embrace

How long have I slept among the grave

Above the field the vultures skulk and prey

Their feast abounding

With sinew torn from their flesh

Men bloat the wretched

Not a soul survived the beasts are gone

All the trails of the damned ones leave them driving

On my very home

Smoke issues forth, from the mountain-side

I know I'll never

I'll never

Return

I'll find a way

This war is far from over

I'll return

Mark my words

This is not the last time

You'll hear my name

In your dreams
