Spoils of War - Tygers Of Pan Tang

Behind shields of darkness, towers of strength

The walls of the fortress, are their only defence

Legions get stronger, as they gather in hoards

Silence is deafening, as they raise their swords

Let the bloodshed tonight be like no other night ever seen before

Let battle begin to the victor who wins the spoils of war

The thunder of horses as the dead lead the way

Draws closer and closer, everything in their path they will slay

Too many valiant saviours perish for all their worth

No chains will ever entwine them as their unmarked graves sink into the earth

Their quest has begun they’ll not forget their land for anyone

The warlords have spoken the gods have awoken by the sounds of The spoils of war

There’s a calm in the city, as the sun goes down

They walk in the shadows, to the edge of town

See no reflection, no sound from the sky

Stakes getting higher, as they prepare to die

For the spoils of war
