Book Of The Fallen

Still we ride, fight, and dieWayward path far beyond the paleWe are lost, marching onHeavy hearts longing for those lands we once called homeEmerald hills, sparking seasFade to distant memoryHorizons blaze in foreign landOchre seas of scorching sandThe fires of Y'Ghatan burn in the nightThe shadows of a fallen godChains against lightFor weeks on end we journey onWeary and worn, the glory is goneAll that's left are tired soulsAching limbs and dreams of homeThe fires of Y'Ghatan burn in the nightThe shadows of a fallen godChains against lightMarching on as one as the ghosts of brothers singDeep in the night where their faces haunt our dreamsHalfway through the veil we are summoned to Hood's gateLands rimed in frost, they will damn us to our fatePush on through the din of the slaughterFlight through this perilous landTo where our blades spring forthSoldiers of Empire MalazanWe fight for the seat of the highbornOur fates were never our ownWeathered skin is battered and brokenBloodstained dawn in a land unknownStars reign in the sky of the desertLost in the blistering sandsA host now long forgottenSoldiers of Empire MalazanFar away from the hearths of our fathersWe're never returning homeWeathered swords are a warrior's burdenBattles fought but our deeds will go untoldStill we ride, fight, and dieWayward path far beyond the paleWe are lost, marching onHeavy hearts longing for those lands we once called homeDawn has brought its cleansing lightSo we behold a mournful sightThe fading sounds of clashing steelBodies strewn across the fieldThe fires of Y'Ghatan burn in the nightThe shadows of a fallen godChains against lightBuried seeds, scattered bonesBlazing hearts by steel sent homeMortal screams, names unknownShattered dreams by steel sent homeStrap on your shields and raise your bannersHear the call of raging battleBeneath a hail of burning arrowsPush ever forward, never surrenderSiege weapons tolling out like thunderRipping the city walls asunderColumns of flame reach ever skywardHorizons filled with burning pyres
