Bittersweet

Glory to the sunset and long praise the night
Smile to the heathen, long live the fight.
Fail not our song, our rhythem scales strong.
Great are the mountains and mean are the seas.

The forest is howling behind my back
I laugh out the order and it begins the attack.
Sword to claw, and shield to shoulder
Plunge in fearless, keep the steady dance
Quicker and quicker, feel the adrenelin rush.
Pretend it's a dream; just striking bloodlust.

The battle horn sounds, far from our home
But the blood isn't ours; paving the road.
Mercy in war comes from a spark
Deep in our heart, our mind they out smart.
Bring up the shield for the dagger has teeth
Betrayal is sweet.
