about

The song is about a ragtag army regiment - forged through a traumatic and shared hardship - that is forced to endure repeated tragedy, betrayal, and loss that leads to their dissolution. Their deeds and resilience earns them an ascended position after their deaths alongside other immortals. Their hubris is their false bravado from collective trauma, but that reflexively proves their resilience and worth in the eyes of the gods.

lyrics

30 months we toiled in darkness, dreaming of the sun
The die were cast, the walls came down
The empress had decreed our time was done
Covert mission on the streets of azure fire
Too many lives too great the cost
To lock away the tyrant in the tower

(First in) Through the rage we mourn the fallen
(Last out) And for those yet to fall
(Cry war) But in peace we wail in silence
We are broken creatures
Now condemned to curse indifferent gods

We've travelled too far, and fought too hard
Just to die at the edge of the world
Ashen trail and whispered words
For the bridge to our past now has burned

A new campaign, another siege, an endless war
A horde of undead horrors and the children born of
(Salt and smoke and gore)
Mark us dead and grant us leave to start again
The ink may dry but chapter of the fallen
Always hunger for a name

Entomb our ranks into your lunar grave
Cast it seaward to find its home beneath the waves
Beneath the waves

We've travelled too far, and fought too hard
Just to die at the edge of the world
Ashen trail and whispered words
For the bridge to our past now has burned

We would rather a lifetime of pain
Than delusion time and time again
We are free at the edge of the world
As the bridge to our past now has burned

At the threshold you will stand
Heavy heart and upstretched hand
Death is not always the end
Through my song you will ascend
Take up your post
To guard the gate of high house death

(First in) Through the rage we mourn the fallen
(Last out) And for those yet to fall
(Cry war) But in peace we wail in silence
We are broken creatures
Now condemned to curse indifferent gods

We've travelled too far, and fought too hard
Just to die at the edge of the world
Ashen trail and whispered words
For the bridge to our past now has burned

No glory and no fame, I'm left with just a name
The stains upon the fabric will say just the same
When pain inside you stirs, the page before you blurs
Remember us as what we were
