Lyrics

"The Lich's Lament"
(What We Destroyed)
[Verse 1]
We drew our steel beneath gray skies
The undead host before us rise
Not mindless hunger, not senseless rage
A father's grief across the age
[Verse 2]
The lich who led them to the wall
Once had a name, before the fall
His family taken, turned to bone
He marched to bring his children home
[Chorus]
We are the heroes, so they say
We held the line, we saved the day
But in the dust of what we burned
A father's cry that none returned
The city sleeps while we collect our gold
For ending love that death couldn't hold
[Verse 3]
Veterans know the cost of war
We've seen what men are fighting for
Not glory, not some noble cause
But those we love, despite the laws
[Bridge]
He broke the natural order's chain
To spare his blood from endless pain
And we, who swore to protect the living
Cut down the dead who'd been unforgiving
[Final Chorus]
Roll the dice, collect the prize
The city saved by compromise
We stopped the army at the gate
But was it mercy? Was it fate?
The undead family lies in pieces still
We did our duty. We did our will.
[Outro]
Tonight we feast on what we've won
But whose side would we take, if it were our son?
