Still we ride, fight and die
Wayward path far beyond the pale
We are lost, marching on
Heavy hearts longing for those lands we once called home
Emerald hills, sparkling seas
Fade to distant memory
Horizons blaze in foreign land
Ochre seas of scorching sand
The fires of Y'Ghatan burn in the night
The shadows of a fallen god
Chains against light
For weeks on end we journey on
Weary and worn, the glory is gone
All that's left are tired souls
Aching limbs and dreams of home
The fires of Y'Ghatan burn in the night
The shadows of a fallen god
Chains against light
Marching on as one as the ghosts of brothers sing
Deep in the night where their faces haunt our dreams
Halfway through the veil we are summoned to Hood's gate
Lands rimed in frost, they will damn us to our fate.
Push on through the din of slaughter
Fight through this perilous land
To where our blades spring forth
Soldiers of Empire Malazan
We fight for the seat of the highborn
Our fates were never our own
Weathered skin is battered and broken
Bloodstained dawn in a land unknown.
Stars reign in the sky of the desert
Lost in the blistering sands
A host now long forgotten
Soldiers of Empire Malazan
Far away from the hearths of our fathers
We're never retuning home
Weathered swords are a warrior's burden
Battles fought but our deeds will go untold.
Still we ride, fight and die
Wayward path far beyond the pale
We are lost, marching on
Heavy hearts longing for those lands we once called home.
Dawn has brought its cleansing light
So we behold a mournful sight
The fading sounds of clashing steel
Bodies strewn across the field.
The fires of Y'Ghatan burn in the night
The shadows of a fallen god
Chains against light.
Buried seeds, scattered bones
Blazing hearts by steel sent home
Mortal screams, names unknown
Shattered dreams by steel sent home.
Strap on your shields and raise your banners
Hear the call of raging battle
Beneath a hail of burning arrows
Push ever forward, never surrender
Siege weapons tolling out like thunder
Ripping the city walls asunder
Columns of flame reach ever skyward
Horizons filled with burning pyres.
