Pride! lust!!! jealousy!!!
Tears! pains!! chains!!!
Evil! darkness!! death!!!
Silence! hell!! heaven!!!
War is coming!

Tell the lion king
That rules the forest jungled in fears
That war is coming!

Tell the giant eagle
The god of other birds
That reigns supreme above the storms
That war is coming!

Brothers sharpen your spears
Mothers prepare your tears
Don't be caught unawares
War is coming!

Soon blood will splatter the hills
Darkness will cover the sea
Silence will sink the world
War is coming!

Get ready to fight
Those who run will die
The beasts in us will haunt us down
Until we’ve paid for all our vanities
War is coming!
