Bloody and far from home
The sky is heavy with snow
My time is slowly running low
My body, freezing cold
We're the last of a dying world
These are the final days of old
My time will end here shortly
The snow entombs me slowly
This battle's lost, my bodies broken
The morning that we left, we held our loved ones close and cried
We know so many wouldn't make it back alive
We knew we stood no chance as we said our last goodbyes
We fought for you, and for you we'll die
We battled hard and long
But we couldn't tame this storm
My eyes are frozen, open
But their numbers were too great
We fell as autumn leaves
As the snow gathers, my bodies broken
Lying here in a mix of regret and pride
If I'd known of this faith, would I have still come here to fight?
Thinking of all I was waiting for and all I've yet to say
I thought I had so much time, but it's been taking away
I hoped one day, we'd be old and gray
I hoped one day we could wake up and feel safe
Still I love you with all the love a heart can hold
But I couldn't be “this great warrior” when it was needed most
They will know that few stood against many
Even though our chances were hopeless
Just for the hope, That the beauty that we see
Doesn't go unnoticed
Our time here with earthly feet has ended
Our fathers of old are calling us to the mighty halls
It's time to take our place, or let our ghosts haunt this place
To wait greeting our comrades who are yet to fall
I'm not saying we would have done better
But at least we could have called this our time
I'm not saying we would have done better
But we couldn't out last this night
