Hear millions cry 
The darkness falls 
Echoing the past 
Bleed the world dry 

Our threatened kingdoms 
The world is divided 
Trample ourselves 
While we claw for the prize 

The schemes of men have failed us all 
Strife with no end, our actions will betray us 

Battles will rage 
Violence will flow 
Repeating the past 
tragic path once more 

Making our mark while leaving our stain 
Our legacy of arrogance will wither with the day 

Oppression and fear 
Our weapons of choice 
Always playing God 
It's never enough 
Our coveted conquests 
At such a great cost 
More suffering and loss 
glorious epoch
