How the Story Ends Lyrics

Far off, on the horizon
You can barely see the torches
But rest assure they're out there
And they're coming

If you listen
The sound is growing nearer
Of infantry marching out
Of hypnotizing rhythm

Destroying every town
Light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now
But this is how the story ends

Above the rain of clashing steel
They raise the flags of war
A sign to all the warriors
Who can not hear

Amidst smoke of cannon balls
They bang the drums of death
A battle cadence out for those
Who can not see

Destroying every town
Light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now
But this is how the story ends

Poison the well and scorch the earth
Everything slashed and burned
You may not like it now
But this is how the story ends

Destroying every town
Light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now
But this is how the story ends

Poison the well and scorch the earth
Everything slashed and burned
You may not like it now
But this is how the story ends

Kick ass song, one of the best on Endgame in my opinion!

A general or soldier is confident that his army will win a bloody conflict which will take place. They will play their battle tune, knowing they will slaughter the enemy.
