An Empire Of A Thousand Years

Cries of anger in the fatherland

The cession of the west and rape at Versailles

The sparks for armies again to rise

A party of men with another vision

It's so clear to them now

Different people cannot share the land

A plague and he has the cure

Inspired by deeds done long ago

Flesh turned to ash

Armies pouring through the borders

They have been waiting to long

The fires all over the land burn

Troops go in and cattle cars go out

Parades bearing torch and banner

Consolidation of power through a reign of terror

A hate burns deep in the East

To seize more land

Unholy trinity made

Thunder of pounding guns

Years of war and strife

Bombs dropping from the sky

The charred skeletons of innocents

An alliance made to oppose this war machine

Revenge for previous defeat dealt

On Northern beaches against stranded souls

It seems all is loss

A desperate plea to the sleeping giant

Unheard till the fires lick his feet

Then fresh troops storm the beach

A war of eagles

A thousand year dream crushed

An endless sea of Red to turn the tide

As angels sing for their names

Still the eagles clash

Till the war machine like all

Rusts and breaks under the unending time

A war ended by the giants fire

The continent a land of ruin and death

Marked for execution

The planners soon hang

The iron heart at last rusted and crumpled
