Signum Regis - The Ten Thousand lyrics

So fierce and bold At the time when tides were good Now weary and cold Provision less, no food The battle was won But the triumph did not come The fortune is gone No aim 'cause there is none The full moon is rising There in the Eastern sky The Then Thousand marching Too late for them to cry The distant walls of Babylon Won't meet their eyes anymore No oath could stop Those who planned the treachery The way to the top Has turned to misery The rest wend their way Through the mountains to the sea The price you now pay Oh mercenaries The full moon is rising There in the Eastern sky The ten Thousand marching Too soon for them to die The distant walls of Babylon Won't meet their eyes anymore Mercenaries Your fearless eyes shed tears You fell alone Dreadful memories The end is drawing near You're heading home The full moon is rising There in the Eastern sky The Then Thousand marching Too late for them to cry The distant walls of Babylon Won't meet their eyes anymore
