[Verse 1]

When the eyes of war (War)

Set their sight on the dissident land (Land)

When the meek turns clamorous (—orous)

And the sheep are the lions (The lions)

As the curtain falls (Falls)

And devotion is measured in blood (Blood)

Hear the monarch call (Call)

For the lost and the bitter

[Pre-Chorus]

Unending blazes light the sky, so bright

And thundering choirs pierce the air with cries (with cries)

[Chorus]

Into the fire I am leading the slain

Steering the fallen to the end

Into the pyre I rеign

Drowning in flames

Raising empires on rеmains

[Verse 2]

I'm a walking corpse (Corpse)

Who abandoned humanity's cause (Cause)

To become the god of harm (Harm)

To divide and devour

Seek among the bones (Bones)

For the ones who confronted my hate (Hate)

Artisan of gore (Gore)

Steaming smothering venom

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

Unending blazes light the sky, so bright

And thundering choirs pierce the air with cries (With cries, with cries, with cries)

[Chorus]

Into the fire I am leading the slain

Steering the fallen to the end

Into the pyre I reign

Drowning in flames

Raising empires on remains

[Bridge]

You could be someone who loves

You could be a dearest friend

But compassion isn't strength

And you were raised to be a man

And sometimes when you're alone

You despise who you became

And I see the next in line just hoping to become the same

[Outro]

Who are the ones we are sending to die?

Starry-eyed youth in disguise

Carry a banner of misleading pride

They are the ghosts of our time

Who are the ones we are sending to die?

They are the ghosts of our time
