[ti:Beyond Eternity 2 - The Slaughter]
[ar:Orion's Reign]
[al:Nuclear Winter]
[00:00.00]
[00:14.85]Visions of glory lie ahead
[00:18.14]In my ears rings the king’s old voice
[00:21.43]In exchange for eternity
[00:24.83]Your blood you have to sacrifice
[00:28.10]
[00:28.43]So many knights will fight for gold
[00:31.69]But I will fight just to be free
[00:35.20]Life is the mightiest God’s gift
[00:38.53]And living is courage’s deed
[00:42.30]
[00:55.76]The battle raging on all sides
[00:59.19]The butchered men in dying screams
[01:02.60]The blood is painting my calves red
[01:06.00]Who can find God in all of this?
[01:09.33]
[01:09.60]My cries now wet my bloody face
[01:12.80]As I walk forth and cleave brave men
[01:16.27]Man killing man for power and gold
[01:19.71]I look around with blackened soul
[01:22.90]
[02:10.94]Over and over memories fly
[02:14.00]Like fervidly rainbows they colour my mind
[02:16.62]They bring me to my knighting day
[02:19.14]When I was given spurs and name
[02:21.95]
[02:22.14]But there I find a dangerous oath
[02:24.65]That I spoke up so long ago
[02:27.15]It spoke of servitude to a man
[02:29.83]The man who now led us to war
[02:32.44]
[02:32.63]To hold my oath I cannot skip
[02:35.18]But why do men swear vulgar oaths
[02:37.80]That keep them from correct results
[02:40.55]When their life they try to decide
[02:43.24]
[02:43.45]From birth I swore to serve a King
[02:45.91]How can I serve a second one
[02:48.51]He granted me a life to live
[02:51.18]And everyone has the same right
[02:53.79]
[02:54.03]Keep your blood in you
[02:59.26]Stay alive will you
[03:04.59]Fight with death if you
[03:10.01]Have guts left you will
[03:15.47]
[03:36.64]The arrow fire still decimates
[03:39.18]But finally we win the day
[03:41.76]The ironclad buffoons now smile
[03:44.56]They fight to fight, not when it’s right
[03:47.03]
[03:47.29]I boldly step to meet the king
[03:49.86]I tell him that my duty’s done
[03:52.53]My country now has been secured
[03:55.27]But further on it is his war
[03:57.75]
[03:57.93]Possession is the cause of war
[04:00.60]Defence and war two different things
[04:03.24]How could I mix them in the start?
[04:05.83]The one protects, the other kills
[04:08.15]
[04:08.54]I ride up to a lonely hill
[04:11.22]I see the battlefield dyed red
[04:13.81]Horizons open wide ahead
[04:16.51]I’m not there now - I’m somewhere else!
