Bones of Birds - Fall Of An Empire

This is my confession I have lost all of my friends I've lost more than that And I don't know if I can get it back I've gone off the deep end Can't seem to find my way home A broken man confides Choking out a long bitter goodbye This is my diary My sonnet my symphony All my fears I can find in thee My blood, my sweat, my tyranny You would need my eyes If you were to see That I am just me Not the demon you made me to be Why weeps the willow A sadness in the root says i A smoky diary that billows A cloud of sorrow with each sigh

Dark rain falls The portents of war, closing in In the furtherst reaches of the kingdom's hold A new will burns, making blood run cold Deep under mountains, a portal awoke A time of trouble, of which a prophecy spoke An army of men, an emblem unknown They come not for peace - send word to the throne Let loose the horses, for south we must ride To marshal an army to hold back this tide We've heard reports - tales from the north Of an ancient army that arrived in force Led by a warlord bathed in fire Soldiers in red that do not tire They came to conquer, and desecrate our land We must retaliate, we must take a stand For the kingdom and for our lives Ready the generals as We've heard reports - tales from the north Of an ancient army that arrived in force Led by a warlord bathed in fire Soldiers in red that do not tire All that we know comes to an end If our ancient homeland we cannot defend For the kingdom and for our lives Ready the generals as we ride If we fall today, tomorrow will never come We've heard reports - tales from the north Of an ancient army that arrived in force Led by a warlord bathed in fire Soldiers in red that do not tire All that we know comes to an end If our ancient homeland we cannot defend For the kingdom and for our lives Ready the generals as we ride
