Far off on the horizon you can barely see the torches
But rest assure, they're out there and they're coming
If you listen the sound is growing nearer
Of infantry marching out a hypnotizing rhythmDestroying every town, light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now but this is how the story endsAbove the rain of clashing steel they raise the flags of war
A sign to all the warriors who cannot hear
Amidst smoke of cannon balls they bang the drums of death
[Incomprehensible] cannot seeDestroying every town, light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now but this is how the story ends
Poison the well and scorch the earth, everything's slashed and burned
You may not like it now but this is how the story endsDestroying every town, light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now but this is how the story ends
Poison the well and scorch the earth, everything's slashed and burned
You may not like it now but this is how the story ends
