The rush has faded
My limbs fatigue
a mind in turbidity
I lift my weary eyes
Across the dead
and wounded
Lay to rest,
side by side
Allies and enemies
Unconquered sun
We fell for thee
Now take us home
At the dawn of day
thousands of men arise
From distant shores
to their last fight
We fought with honor,
in bravery
Triumph for the glorious,
the emperor
Victory!
But not for us
The forgotten
At the last light of day
The flames of the pyres
bring us to our gods
Some are lost, some are victors
Granted to die another day
I will lay myself to rest
For all that matters
Unconquered sun
I fell for thee
Blade cuts deeply in the flesh
Blood floods to a certain death
One by one the risen fall
Hail the last man standing tall
Our inner beasts unleashed
Survival instinct defines will
None of us are murderers
None will hesitate to kill
We are savage beasts
We are savage beasts
