Army of One Lyrics

My reciprocation to your hostility
Is a howling note of silence
This is pain
This is glory

In a land of men and horses
With a sword as my defendant
Action is. Action does.
I stand with honour

Retreat and flee or advance and conquer
Bless this thirst and bless this love
Retreat and flee or advance and conquer
Fate can’t decree your will be done

Watch the snow as it falls upon the willow tree
See the branches bend – never break
Ride the waves. Sink or swim?
Float to horror

From the roots we share – I rise
For the hate we bare – I rise
With every single breath – I rise
From a cowards ashes

I remember your eyes
And the smell of the night
And the moon
And the heat from the lights

Swaying on the very ledge of unreason
Consciously phased by my own recollection

In the beauty of now
We’re butterflies tied
By the unquestionable bond of a vow

Yet we journey in flight to our death
Taking the oath to the end of the end

I’m lost in constellations
But found in gruesome murder
This is pain
This is glory

Standing eye to eye
Can slaughter lead to freedom?
Spears out and axes high
Secure a target and charge
Choke on panacea
Malign for so many years
A battle that can’t be lost
Standing against the odds

Blessed be thy rule
With the army of one
