Death, blood, violence, death Everyone eventually will stop drawing breath And the sleep comes to all Eternal and quiet We lay in these halls Waiting, still waiting For our descendants to call For when they most need us We'll rise from this grave And march forth to battle Their young lives to save We'll make our way out With our axes and swords Though long we have slept Now we march forth to war To cleave heads from necks And to shed the foe's blood This day shall be won As we knew that it would The enemy will cower And flee to his home He'll hide away there And no more will he roam Death, blood, violence, death Our enemies fallen They sleep without breath As we were, now they are
