[Verse 1]
When the eyes of war (War)
Set their sight on the dissident land (Land)
When the meek turns clamorous (—orous)
And the sheep are the lions (The lions)
As the curtain falls (Falls)
And devotion is measured in blood (Blood)
Hear the monarch call (Call)
For the lost and the bitter

[Pre-Chorus]
Unending blazes light the sky, so bright
And thundering choirs pierce the air with cries (with cries)

[Chorus]
Into the fire I am leading the slain
Steering the fallen to the end
Into the pyre I rеign
Drowning in flames
Raising empires on rеmains

[Verse 2]
I'm a walking corpse (Corpse)
Who abandoned humanity's cause (Cause)
To become the god of harm (Harm)
To divide and devour
Seek among the bones (Bones)
For the ones who confronted my hate (Hate)
Artisan of gore (Gore)
Steaming smothering venom

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Unending blazes light the sky, so bright
And thundering choirs pierce the air with cries (With cries, with cries, with cries)

[Chorus]
Into the fire I am leading the slain
Steering the fallen to the end
Into the pyre I reign
Drowning in flames
Raising empires on remains

[Bridge]
You could be someone who loves
You could be a dearest friend
But compassion isn't strength
And you were raised to be a man
And sometimes when you're alone
You despise who you became
And I see the next in line just hoping to become the same

[Outro]
Who are the ones we are sending to die?
Starry-eyed youth in disguise
Carry a banner of misleading pride
They are the ghosts of our time
Who are the ones we are sending to die?
They are the ghosts of our time
