Zoot Lyrics

Come the war
Come the avarice
Come the war
Come hell

And come destruction
Come the reek of bone
Come destruction
Come hell

And this is why
Why we fight
Why we lie awake
And this is why
This is why we fight
And when we die
We will die
With our arms unbound
And this is why
This is why
Why we fight
Come hell
Come hell

And bride of quiet
Bride of underground (thane)
Bride of quiet
Bride of hell

And come the archers
Come the infantry
Come the archers of hell

And this is why
Why we fight
Why we lie awake
And this is why
This is why we fight
And when we die
We will die
With our arms unbound
And this is why
This is why we fight
Come hell
Come hell

And this is why
Why we fight
Why we lie awake
And this is why
This is why we fight
And when we die
We will die with our arms unbound
And this is why
This is why we fight

So come to me
Come to me now
Lay your arms around me
And this is why
This is why
We fight
Come hell
Come hell

This is meant to be sung by a group of rallying miners, according to Colin. I think it's absolutely beautiful.
