lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen
All the great and the good
Gathered here to bear witness
Just as we should

Here come the pretenders
Goddess-Queen at their head
The legion known as the Swarm
Most of them recently dead
Under banners of gold and red

On the other side of the field
Stands a figure alone
Soon his plan will be revealed
But the God of War is on his own
Can he prevail in this new war zone?

The Queen sips her honey
Sends the Swarm to surround
The lonely God
How can one man hold this ground?

There’s a rumbling from below
Lightning cracks the sky
It seems the very Earth itself
Begins to wail and cry
These dreadful words

“I am Odin and Mars,
Skanda, Ares, Chiyou
I am God of All Wars,
I don’t answer to you.”

Looks like the Queen is laughing
Filled with nothing but scorn
She says, “The one who can stand against me
Has never been born.
You have been warned.”

“I call on abandoned souls
Those who died in vain
Lend me your many woes
I will avenge your pain.”

And for every one of the Swarm
A million lost in war
Crawling up from the great beyond
This is what they’ve been waiting for
Live and die by the sword.

The pretender’s time is done
No empire in the Galaxy
To the God of War she succumbs
The Hive will never be.
