Standing fast in wake of time
Dying blast of reason's rhyme
Injustice swings the pendulum
Glory has no simulacrum
Usurping our dismay
All those in the way
Resplendent ascension
Defying detention
I can't believe
We'll break the siege
Cannons flash
No running back
Angry hail
From the roaring jezail
Scaling the trench
In blood we're drenched
Just another day
And fight as we may
The pressure mounts
Cruelty abounds
Anger freed
We'll break the siege
Cannons flash
No running back
Boots gripping tortured ground
Shells bursting all around
Splintered shelter shattering
Bombs in dark mud splattering
Fire splits the blackened sky
Final chance to do or die
Sweet, the stench of bursting flesh
Few, the moments I have left
I can't believe
We'll break the siege
Cannons flash
No running back
Angry hail
From the roaring jezail
Scaling the trench
In blood we're drenched
Just another day
And fight as we may
The pressure mounts
Cruelty abounds
Rancor freed
We'll break the siege
Cannons flash
No running back
Siege breaker
Siege breaker
Siege breaker
Siege breaker
Life taker
Ruin maker
Fort forsaker
Fate Slayer
I can't believe
We'll break the siege
Cannons flash
No running back
Angry hail
From the roaring jezail
Scaling the trench
In blood we're drenched
Just another day
And fight as we may
The pressure mounts
Cruelty abounds
Rancor freed
We'll break the siege
Cannons flash
No running back
