Lyrics
How The Story Ends
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.
Far off on the horizon you can barely see their torches
But rest assured they're out there and they're coming
If you listen, the sound is growing nearer of infantry
Marching out a hypnotizing rhythm
Destroying every town, light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends
Above the ring of clashing steel, they raise flags of war
A sign to all the warriors who cannot hear
Amidst smoke of cannonballs, they bang the drums of death
Pound a cadence out for those who cannot see
Destroying every town, light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends
Poison the wells and scorch the earth, everything\'s slashed and burnt
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends
Acoustic Solo - Dave
Solo - Chris
Destroying every town, light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends
Poison the wells and scorch the earth, everything\'s slashed and burnt
You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends
