The Ides Pt. II

from ruins by old blood

lyrics

Hold the train
For a day there’s a fire
One that last could erase our empire

(Their memory lives)
All the panic ice swells
For a day
Does a day mean nothing
When you know your fate

We let it feed the enemy
When we lined the coast
With our dead

(you pull) clear the wreck out
We’re not the ones who fall
Captive as the grave
To no longer fail again

Waking up to the remains of
Rounds and fuel
But outside our roads are wrought with steel

(Their memory lives)
All the panic ice swells
For a day
Does a day mean nothing
If we don’t know our fate

We let it feed the enemy
When we lined the coast
With our dead

(you pull) clear the wreck out
We’re not the ones who fall
Captive as the grave
We’ll no longer fail again


A way to right these grave unjustices
The sleepless nights, that curse our souls in stone
Released in time, we awake unrested and
At least it’s though we know,
We’ll no longer fail again
