Forging Generals - Staple

These are the ties that bind

Contracts signed with pulsing blood remind us of color when everything turns to

grey

Absolutes are life

Deterioration’s the killer

Oath reforms for fallen, lords whose kingdoms die

Are we fallen lords who’ve laid their weapons down

Trading resolve for rash cowardice?

We’re at war, but the generals' names were forged

The pen is mighty when the sword is sheathed

When battle’s waged, we’ll see what choice we’ve made by the deeds ink tells;

Of valiant feats, it should spell

For we vow to stand until the end or die

And the scars we’ve acquired aren’t shadowed in remorse…

These scars are our testament

That we didn’t quench spirit’s flame

But we assailed hell with swift feet and iron fists proclaiming

«WE FIGHT!

'TIL VOWS FULFILLED WE SHALL NOT REST!

ASSAIL FOR HONOR TO THE DEATH!»

We’re at war, but the generals' names were forged

The pen is mighty when the sword is sheathed

When battle’s waged, we’ll see what choice we’ve made by the deeds ink tells;

Of valiant feats, it should spell

For we vow to stand until the end or die

Show me courage

Show me strength

Show the resolve it takes when buckled knees carry the world because the will

doesn’t break

When sweat is blood, as wrung from a sponge

And vinegared wounds cover your progress like rank, cheap, expired perfume

The Almighty’s head held resolutely 'til dead

For greatness wrought, the wise should be taught

Forging generals

We’re at war, but the generals' names were forged

The pen is mighty when the sword is sheathed

When battle’s waged, we’ll see what choice we’ve made by the deeds ink tells;

Of valiant feats, it should spell

We will sign our names to stake our claims

We know the choice that we have made

ASSAIL FOR HONOR TO THE DEATH

'TIL VOWS FULFILLED WE SHALL NOT REST
