The blaze of the funeral pyre And the raze of the cities conspire Judgement for those who bequest And the gravestones of ancients bereft Fall to the knees in a blink Iron ships downward they sink And the burden it falls into thee And the people greet death and beliefs A violent uprising ensues Followers of scarlet and blue Mighty the walls of their lair And crumbled they do now despair Dreams and the echoes of life But they are all destroyed by the strife An age of the fires and the grief An age of no re ward to reap Fallen now They fall now to snow that surrounds Their children now lay in the ground Frost now a layer on their skin And the winter sun making the gleam Weapons of steel doused in blood The snow covers warring in mud An age of calamity due For the people of scarlet and blue Bodies in bloodied decay The stench dominating the day Rising the souls from within And the death of our kin
