  • Come the war
    Come the avarice
    Come the war
    Come hell

    Come attrition
    Come the reek of bones
    Come attrition
    Come hell

    This is why
    Why we fight
    Why we lie awake
    And this is why
    This is why we fight

    When we die
    We will die
    With our arms unbound

    And this is why
    This is why
    Why we fight
    Come hell

    Bride of quiet
    Bride of all unquiet things
    Bride of quiet
    Bride of hell

    Come the archers
    Come the infantry
    Come the archers
    Of hell

    This is why
    Why we fight
    Why we lie awake
    This is why
    This is why we fight
    And when we die
    We will die
    With our arms unbound
    And this is why
    This is why we fight
    Come hell
    Come hell

    This is why
    Why we fight
    Why we lie awake
    This is why
    This is why we fight
    When we die
    We will die with our arms unbound
    And this is why
    This is why we fight

    So come to me
    Come to me now
    Lay your arms around me
    And this is why
    This is why
    We fight

    Come hell
    Come hell
    Come hell
