Shield-Bearer

Why do I hear your name When he tosses in his sleep? I don't want to see your face again When I peer into his dreams You're a shield-bearer Bringing brothers-in-arms to terror Aloft in your chariot Take a sharpened blade and bury it Into this sleepless night Elysium will shine for him bright A bronze-wearer His lost life may spare her Remove his head Swing and cleave When he lies dead The visions of you leave Your armies led Upon a blazing steed Your seat of power A merciless reprieve Your handsome helm is golden A token of the life you've stolen As Hades thanks you as their host You laugh as you're emboldened As their strength wavers You swiftly shift your favor Remove his head Swing and cleave When he lies dead The visions of you leave Your armies led Upon a blazing steed Your seat of power A merciless reprieve Remove his head Swing and cleave When he lies dead The visions of you leave Your armies led Upon a blazing steed Defiled with gore A tribute to your dream Your seat of power A merciless reprieve Remove his head Why do I hear your name? Why do I hear your name? Why do I hear your name?
