The Epic of Defeat Lyrics

To face the enemies - To stand when no one stands for you
To heed the call of the rebel - Gods bleed who dares to rise

Mourning has painted a scar
That drives through the limbs of a nation
Betrayal has opened the gate to the core
And we know downfall is near

Light up the sign of war - Brave sacrifice in sight
Cross our steel my friend and unite with no trembling hand

Here comes the night - The longest and the last one
The ultimate defense is holding behind shattered lines
They will not fall - The ties of fate are severed
Repel the conqueror right beyond this sacred ground of life

(Lead: Paolo)

Burning the bridge of retreat
Escape in our heart's not an option
Tertium non datur, it's kill or be killed
And we know the moment is here

Light up the sign of war... Here comes the night...

(Lea: Edoardo)

Salvage our lands by the fire

The battle is raging with the fury of pure will
Comrades scream perishing - Erase tomorrow and let today burn

Crimson of dawn plunders the spoils of heroes gone
Not vain their honor - Ages will calm it

The country lies in ruins, the burden of demise
So many lie forever - none's left to close their brother's eyes
We'll sing our dead in songs or remembrance

Here comes the light right above the reaper's trail
We gave it all (all!) - The lies of fate have strangled
The world will see how bright
Shines in blood the epic of defeat
