At The Dawn Of War

As the fog of war subsides
Paint the day in different light
Leave the pain of loss behind
Fade into the night.

The morrow comes with no respite
It brings no reason to this plight
Condemned to suffer unjust blight
Salvation out of sight.

Forsaken by the gods up high
Witness countless soldiers die
For freedom sounds their battlecry
But the end is nigh.

For justice, for freedom, die!
For your home, for your land
Die for your king!
For your people, for your brothers
Die for the gods!

Few survivors to be found
Blood red skies mirror the ground
In silence dying cries resound
A scream without a sound.

Another day the fight goes on
A battle lost, a battle won
Tomorrows grim, all hope is gone
The war has just begun.

On the brave men march once more
Reminded of the oaths they swore
Ares leads them to the fore
Obey the god of war.

The dawn of war, the wake of slaughter
The dawn of war, lamented mourning
The dawn of war unites, resounding battlecries
The dawn of war, by Ares might.

My brothers!
Many have died this day, but we must persevere!
Through pain and suffering, we must endure!
We must stand tall in the face of our enemies!
Never retreat! Never surrender!

For justice, for freedom, die!
For your home, for your land
Die for your king!
For your people, for your brothers
Die for the gods!

The dawn of war, the wake of slaughter
The dawn of war, lamented mourning
The dawn of war unites, resounding battlecries
The dawn of war, by Ares might.

The dawn of war, the wake of slaughter
The dawn of war, lamented mourning
The dawn of war unites, resounding battlecries
The god of war, leads us to the light.
