The Last Battle Never Ends

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Metal screams against the stone

Not a bell no clash of swords

Something enormous falls below

My eyes open to nothing

Crimson bleeds across the dark

I rise my armor rises too

Ancient joints groan out loud

Dust spills from my shoulders

Chains drag snap taut then limp

Pre-Chorus

I don't remember lying down

I don't remember sleeping

I remember blood and the tower

I remember killing

Chorus

Kill

The blade comes free with a wet scrape

Kill

It has been with me longer than kingdoms last

Blackened steel a red pulse in my chest

A heartbeat a heartbeat impossible

Post-Chorus

Thump thump

Thump thump

Verse 2

I died

I know this

I remember dying alone

Surrounded by corpses beneath burning sky

I raised my weapon

I laughed

Then dark

Pre-Chorus

Something dragged me back

Whatever it is made a mistake

Stone walls buried under black growths

Pale symbols flicker and fade

Chorus

Kill

The blade comes free with a wet scrape

Kill

It has been with me longer than kingdoms last

Blackened steel a red pulse in my chest

A heartbeat a heartbeat impossible

Post-Chorus

Thump thump

Thump thump

Bridge

A door opens before I reach it

Thousands of lights far away

Machines crawl across enormous walls

Platforms over bottomless pits

Something roars

The whole structure shakes

A siren howls

Red lights ignite one after another

Footsteps

Many of them

Running toward me

Breakdown

Armored too armored

Metal and flesh a faceless mask

Its weapon rises

Then its weapon falls

Then its arm

Then its head

It collapses at my feet

Something inside me says a word

Kill

Chorus

Kill

The blade comes free with a wet scrape

Kill

It has been with me longer than kingdoms last

Blackened steel a red pulse in my chest

A heartbeat a heartbeat impossible

Post-Chorus

Thump thump

Thump thump

Outro

No kingdom

No lord

No army

No purpose I remember

Sometimes all that remains

Is the thing you were built to do

I step forward

And I go to meet them
