Lyrics

There's no winning, after all, who's the true victor when only death remains?
Anyway, let's begin the next killing

So you are alive, not just alright
A part of you is dead but you are still alive
You came to the war to fight proud by the gods
Your friends died in harness but you won the odds

Blood spurted out and your heart burnt as fire
So your eyes got wet with tears - tears of a vampire
You didn't drink enemy blood but you felt the red taste of the foes
You have killed or left dying in the waste

Don't mind if just all your friends are dying in vain
Remember the fight... you razed all your foes with might and main

Never mind what is done, never mind who is dead
In the shadows your bright died
Never mind what is done, never mind who is dead
All this grieving will be in your mind

Now the war is gone... blazes burning the ground
Death is the true champion
What's the prize? that's the price!
Your pride died in the war... flames burning in your heart

Now the war is gone, then raise your fist and yell that you are the
Winner, you sent your foes to hell
All around you is death, ravage, remains and gore
Who's the true victor in this empire of war?

Never mind what is done, never mind who is dead
The spilt blood is still alive
Never mind what is done, never mind who is dead
All this bleeding will be in your mind
