How the Story Ends

Far off on the horizon you can barely see their torches

But rest assured they're out there and they're coming

If you listen, the sound is growing nearer of infantry

Marching out a hypnotizing rhythm

Destroying every town, light it up and burn it down

You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends

Above the ring of clashing steel, they raise their flags of war

A sign to all the warriors who cannot hear

Amidst smoke of cannonballs, they bang the drums of death

And pound a cadence out for those who cannot see

Destroying every town, light it up and burn it down

You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends

Poison the well and scorch the earth, everything's slashed and burned

You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends

Solo: Chris

Destroying every town, light it up and burn it down

You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends

Poison the well and scorch the earth, everything's slashed and burned

You may not like it now, but this is how the story ends
