How the Story Ends

[Verse 1]

Far off on the horizon you can barely see their torches

But rest assured they're out there and they're coming

If you listen, the sound is growing nearer of infantry

Marching out a hypnotizing rhythm

[Chorus]

Destroying every town

Light it up and burn it down

You may not like it now

But this is how the story ends

[Verse 2]

Above the ring of clashing steel

They raise flags of war

A sign to all the warriors who cannot hear

Amidst smoke of cannonballs

They bang the drums of death

A pound of cadence out for those who cannot see

[Chorus]

Destroying every town

Light it up and burn it down

You may not like it now

But this is how the story ends

Poison the well and scorch the earth

Everything's slashed and burnt

You may not like it now

But this is how the story ends

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Destroying every town

Light it up and burn it down

You may not like it now

But this is how the story ends

Poison the well and scorch the earth

Everything's slashed and burnt

You may not like it now

But this is how the story ends

[Instrumental Outro]
