Hardened by battles of yore, says the lore Making a name for yourself all through war, which you adore An eagerness to lead, humiliate the enemies To have them on their knees, to praise your name eternally And you may have had your share of glory Engraved in your memory But you still hear their cries of agony Taking the whole storm by storm may please you But that won't make up for what you have lost, what it cost And it will eat you up, while on the outside you're so tough There's no one you can trust, no one to carve you some new cuts And as you conquer other territories Bringing others to your feet Deep inside you can find no relief And as you conquer other territories Bringing others to your feet Deep inside you can find no relief And you may have had your share of glory Engraved in your memory But you still hear their cries of agony
