I wrap myself around your world
Desperate to keep you close
Bite my own tail lest I slip
And say something that will make you go
I am patient, I'm devoted
I will wait until the perfect moment
You sent your champion to find me
And drag me up into the light
But I can't abandon my post
Before the final fight
I am loyal, I am stalwart
Though I be reviled, though I be hurt
And until that day comes
And my body blocks out the sun
I will be here, ever near, ever yours
Oh until that day comes
And my body blocks out the sun
I will be here, ever near, ever yours
Yeah until that day comes
And my body blocks out the sun
I will be here, ever near, ever yours

When the Old Ones Come
02:52

This house is haunted
By the spirits of our arguments
The echoes of our yelling never stop
You can never admit
That you might be wrong
And I don't know when to let things drop
But when the Old Ones come
We will bite our tongues
And alone in our house we will dream
We're always quick
To draw on one another
Afraid to let our weaknesses be seen
As if confessing
To our human follies
Would have us burst apart at the seams
But when the Old Ones come
We will put away our guns
And alone in our house we will dream
Dream of cities lost beneath the waves
Let go of petty squabbles
Stop assigning blame
Dance with abandon into the flames
On that day
On that day
'Cause when the Old Ones come
Our race will be run
This curse will come undone
Our struggle will be won
Yeah when the Old Ones come
We will finally be one
And alone in our house we will dream

We started this dance so long ago
Who can remember how it began
The force that drew us together
Made no concessions for our plans
Was I subsumed into you
Or were you absorbed by me
Our light burns all the brighter
Whatever the case may be
When our end comes
We will light up the sky
They will see us
And they'll wonder why
Our demise will be so beautiful
Though they won't know 'til we're long gone
What is born of our destruction
Will live on

Last Stand at Mekidu
02:50
|

I look out over the plains
Scattered piles of bleached remains
Are all that's left of the gore
Deposited by a thousand wars
This temple has been razed
So many times throughout the years
We build it back up from the rubble
And make mortar with our tears
I see banners on the wind
And though our garrison has thinned
We will fight along these walls
And meet again in the Iron Hall
Once more unto the breach
Though all the world assail us
We will dive into the fray
Even if the spirits fail us

You and I at the end of the world
When the trumpets blow and the flags are unfurled
You and I at the end of the world
Dancing on our own graves
The seas boil and the sky goes dark
The stars form an arcane mark
The seas boil and the sky goes dark
But we just dive right in
The serpent rises out of the deep
Woken from its eon-long sleep
The serpent rises out of the deep
But we just wave hello
Gods and heroes, they fall by the score
The Earth is riven down to its core
Gods and heroes, they fall by the score
But we've already forgotten their names
You and I at the end of it all
Waiting for that last shoe to fall
You and I at the end of it all
Having the time of our lives
