They Shall Not Grow Old

The bringer of war, bells of damnation<br/> Erasing their thoughts of salvation<br/> Darkness descends to swallow mankind<br/> As the sun sets one last time<br/> <br/> Eating the crust of heart and mind<br/> Crushing those left behind<br/> Feeding the wolfs death machine<br/> Vomiting rotten war obscene<br/> <br/> Burning eyes of deepest red<br/> They shall not grow old<br/> Silenced cries, dreaming dead<br/> They shall not grow old<br/> <br/> Marching onwards, bid us farewell<br/> Load the cannons for a last serenade<br/> One final charge, then cease to be<br/> Longing to be forever set free<br/> <br/> Burning eyes of deepest red<br/> They shall not grow old<br/> Silenced cries, dreaming dead<br/> They shall not grow old
