The Epic of Defeat (feat. Davide Damna Moras)

THE EPIC OF DEFEAT

(M: Bucci L: Caricchio)

To face the enemies

to stand when no one stands for you

to heed the call of the rebel

gods bless who dares to rise

Mourning has painted a scar

that drives through the limbs of a nation

betrayal has opened the gate to the core

and we know downfall is near

Light up the sign of war

brave sacrifice in sight

cross our steel my friend

and unite with no trembling hand

Here comes the night

the longest and the last one

the ultimate defense is holding behind shattered lines

they will not fall

the ties of fate are severed

repel the conqueror right beyond this sacred ground of life

(Lead: Paolo)

Burning the bridge of retreat

escape in our heart's not an option

tertium non datur, it's kill or be killed

and we know the moment is here

Light up the sign of war

Here comes the night

(Lead: Edoardo)

Salvage our land by the fire

The battle is raging

with the fury of pure will

comrades scream perishing

erase tomorrow and let today burn

Crimson of dawn plunders

the spoils of heroes gone

not vain their honour

ages will claim it

The country lies in ruins

the burden of demise

so many lie forever

none's left to close their brother's eyes

we'll sing our dead in songs of remembrance

Here comes the light

right above the reaper's trail

we gave it all/all!

the ties of fate have strangled

the world will see how bright

shines in blood the epic of defeat
