How the Story Ends

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 a 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 cannot hear Amidst smoke of cannon balls they bang the drums of death, pound a cadence out for those who cannot 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’s 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’s slashed and burned You may not like it now but this is how the story ends
