Darkness has fallen the lands have been freed from sunlight's oppression and now we will feed Nightfall Imbue us with strength The Darkness Surrounds me My Brothers Unite solace in blackness as we own the night Nightfall Imbue us with strength CHORUS Shadows they obey me We run to the fight Shrouded in the darkness As we own the night Our enemies are endless Retreating to light We thrive inside darkness As we own the night Go! Live in Darkness Run to the fight Thrive in the Darkness We Own the night CHORUS Shadows they obey me We run to the fight Shrouded in the darkness As we own the night Our enemies are endless Retreating to light We thrive inside darkness As we own the night

blood paints the mountains blood stains the sands enticing young soldiers From foreign lands Join in the battle that's outlasted time thousands have fallen Humanity’s crime PRECHORUS Fate - protect these brave young men And bring them home alive Violence and Bloodshed it calls to us all The Primal longing To answer the call PRECHORUS Fate- protect these brave young men And bring them home alive CHORUS Blood Red Sunsets Harsh Terrain This - the land of so many slain Tested mettle strains of bellum pray that we survive and bring them home alive Alive bring them home Alive Tragedy+Atrocity=humanity Left Right Wrong Right PRECHORUS Fate - protect these brave young men And bring them home alive CHORUS Blood Red Sunsets Harsh Terrain This - the land of so many slain Tested mettle strains of bellum pray that we survive and bring them home alive Alive

Children of ISIS 04:04
lyrics

Deep in the desert, a new day has dawned A new generation of evil has spawned Innocent when born, but born to die The next generation of evil is nigh The Violence Seduces Young minds are the cost The Horror is blinding A generation is lost Give them the secrets, imbue them with lore Teach them the ways by which you wage war Arm them with weapons of body and mind They’ll feel no fear when it comes their time The Violence Seduces Young lives are the cost The Horror is blinding A generation is lost children of warlords, following orders Beaten and brainwashed to die on command An ancestral duty, a burden to bear A violent inheritance with death in the air Born to Die, they’ll feel no fear when it comes their time No honor, no glory, just flesh, soot and ash Is all that remains to follow the blast How awful, how tragic, this should never be But peace is elusive and death sets you free Born to Die, they’ll feel no fear when it comes their time children of warlords, following orders Beaten and brainwashed to die on command An ancestral duty, a burden to bear A violent inheritance with death in the air Born to Die, they’ll feel no fear when it comes their time

I lay my head to sounds of war 100 days 100 more Winter has swept across my core It’s Christmas time in Times of war! Winter has come And I’m without you my love Christmas apart tears at my heart And I’m without you my love I shall return With all that I have earned Christmas at War CHORUS I shall return To you my love my soulmate Lead me out of the darkness Away from the war My Love bring me home You are the love of my life My lovely wife I miss everything about you and I Also miss our dog and his poo CHORUS I shall return, at last To you my love my soulmate Lead me out of the darkness Away from the war My Love bring me Far Away its been so long 100 days 100 more Find my way back to you The time will come I’ll be home soon sounds of war echo above I shall return to you my love Far Away it’s been so long Sounds of war an all night song Echo from above I shall return my love CHORUS I shall return, at last To you my love my soulmate Lead me out of the darkness Away from the war My Love bring me home Bring me home!
