Sea of Steel
Iron within sharpens iron without
Stream of swords to the redoubt
Climb the piles of the dead
Up on the enemy walls we bled
Swing of sword and thrust of lance
Steel adorned in battle's dance
Ax to the limbs and bodies on spears
Air reeks of blood and fear
Events for the chroniclers lore
Tales of glory and gore
Cyclical since the empire fell
Abandoned cities and rural hells
Invaders from the South and East
Bloated eagle's corpse they'll feast
Before the restoration age
Die before history turned its page
Wars that seek to never end
As battle tears, tips, and rends
Stream of swords to the redoubt
Climb the piles of the dead
Up on the enemy walls we bled
Swing of sword and thrust of lance
Steel adorned in battle's dance
Ax to the limbs and bodies on spears
Air reeks of blood and fear
Events for the chroniclers lore
Tales of glory and gore
Cyclical since the empire fell
Abandoned cities and rural hells
Invaders from the South and East
Bloated eagle's corpse they'll feast
Before the restoration age
Die before history turned its page
Wars that seek to never end
As battle tears, tips, and rends
