Warbringer - When the Guns Fell Silent lyrics

I - Prelude: The Troops "O, my brave companions When your souls flock silently away And the eyeless dead shame that the wild beast of battle on the ridge d**h will stand grieving in that field of war Since your unvanquished hardihood is spent And through some mooned Valhalla there shall pa** Batallions and batallions, scarred from hell The unreturning army that was youth The legions who have suffered And are dust" II - Attrition March through the mud and the rain The soldiers disappearing into the gray Hopeless, they look to the sky For years they have bled on the line I saw them advancing Into the smoke and the fire They were cut down I saw, as the brave men Died, by their thousands, forgotten Their names carved upon a white cross The rows stretch into the horizon And no words can speak of the loss I saw warriors broken Upon the anvil of Verdum Unreturning, the legions Who suffered and are dust III - Voie Sacree (The Sacred Way) Our tattered banners fly in the wind Over the top, we charge again The war will be won, and god's on our side But my brave companions, why must you all die Oh why? IV - The Voice of the Guns We are the guns! Saw you our work, the flashes of the light We are the ones! Filling the graves, the ghosts on the firing line Now it is done! Our voice will be heard in the ages to come Husbands or lovers, fathers or sons We break them Yes, we are the guns! V - All Quiet And when the guns fell silent, at last There's nothing that remains of the past The world that I knew is dead and gone My soul is left in ruins And I cannot see the dawn
