A Dance of Demise (The Rise and Fall of Humanity Act II) Lyrics

Clash of iron under stormy skies

Fury burning in a thousand eyes

Fields once green now stained with red

Echoes of the fallen of the countless dead

We march to drums that sound our doom

Battles rage from noon to moon

Why do we fight what do we gain

In this endless sea of pain?

Can we not see the blood we spill

Is our own by our own will?

In the mirror of war's cruel light

We face our shadows we face our plight

Swords and shadows a dance of demise

Lost in the fury we sever ties

Walls we build from fear and hate

Locked inside our own checkmate

Tears mix with the rains that fall

On graves too young too small

Why do we fight what do we gain

In this endless sea of pain?

Can we not see the blood we spill

Is our own by our own will?

In the mirror of war's cruel light

We face our shadows we face our plight

Can you hear the cries beneath the roar?

The silent plea from the core

It's not too late to sheathe the sword

To heal the wounds to mend the cord

Wake from this trance from this war's allure

Beyond the battle life is pure

Bound by blood yet we can choose

To forge peace to refuse to lose
