The Victor

Dust and bones twist in the wind Blood and steel rust on the field Broken cries silent as night Victory hollows empty dreams Thunder roars whispers no peace Eyes turned grey hearts made of ice Shattered lives lost in the fray Nightmare born out of empty dreams Thunder roars whispers no peace Eyes turned grey hearts made of ice Shattered lives lost in the fray Nightmares born out of despair Death is the king The reaper of war's sad song Death is the crown The only victor in this dance Men of iron futile fight Banners fall kings shall kneel Victory naught but a deceit Lives forfeit under the sun Heroes fade to mere shadows Glory fades to bitter night In the end all tales do spin Victory belongs to none Death is the king The reaper of war's sad song Death is the crown The only victor in this dance Death is the king The reaper of war's sad song Death is the crown The only victor in this dance Men of iron futile fight Banners fall kings shall kneel Victory naught but a deceit Lives forfeit under the sun Heroes fade to mere shadows Glory fades to bitter night In the end all tales do spin Victory belongs to none Death is the king The reaper of war's sad song Death is the crown The only victor in this dance
