Heat of Battle

Hark the distant thunder
As two worlds collide
Awaken from your slumber
It’s time to ride

Summon the horsemen to the fore
In the dark hour of need
Lead the warriors to war

Defeaters of the righteous
Defenders of the truth
The scourge of the pious
Protect the minds of youth

Aloft the torch of noble fire
Expose the poison lie
A lucid dream in a manic nightmare
Rouse the herd before we die

March forth in true formation
Face the armies of the night
For all their posturing
They have no stomach for the fight

Let them feel the heat of battle
When you hear the siren call
Victory alone will strengthen
The false will surely fall

Let lie the fallen forces
Let their bloated corpses rot
See the brethren reunite
In the graveyard of the gods

Show combatants no compassion
Stand firm not freely swayed
With prudence spend that precious ration
No higher law must be obeyed

Conviction offers no exemption
From your blows let none be saved
In defeat lies no redemption
Commit the vanquished to the grave
