Our Requiem

(album: The Great Stone War - 2009)

My friends.
My family.
I ask of you one final time to gather before me.
Tonight we shall leave this earth as legends.
Our only way to never die.

This will be our requiem.
In the company of death
We walk side by side.

Cast your differences aside
For the lives sacrificed.
I ask one final time to unite.
Earn the right to stand with pride.

We are in the company of death.
Cast your differences aside.

For the lives sacrificed to the earth
And for those still to come
We wash our hands of blood.

Carry with you the love of a mother
And a father's strength
May our names echo throughout history.

Glory, never given without a price.
Glory, gnawed clean from the hands that feed.
The world is at your fingertips, tear it apart.
Rip and cut until the view is clear as far as the eye can see.

Honor the Gods
And pay tribute to the human era.
A most humbling wind blows
At the dawn of extinction.

Fire signals that sails are near.
Vestals of vile creatures appear.
Rest well tonight.
Tomorrow we walk through the flames of hell.

This will be our requiem.
Our testament to the heavens.
