The Wars to Come Songtext
von Eons Enthroned

It seems we′ve won
The celebration won't last long
We′ll salvage what we can
Rebuild and carry on

The way we were
A luxury we can't afford
So decadent and weak
So lost and unprepared

Will we survive
Or find ourselves undone
The answer waiting in the wars to come

For years they watched
Useless against the threat we faced
And still oblivious
That greater threats await

We must become
Both their salvation and revenge
The blaze of a new dawn
The ways of old must end


The darkest path
Is now the only one
The answer waiting in the wars to come

I am the dread
I am the coming storm
Only the dead
Have seen the last of war
I am the hope
And I am the despair
The path to peace
Will not be kind I fear

Engines of war
Grind on with purpose once again
The price that must be paid
A pain known all too well

The worlds we saved
Will soon surrender to our strength
New order forged in flame
Destroying to defend

No right or wrong
Only what must be done
The answer waiting in the wars to come


I am the dread
I am the coming storm
Only the dead
Have seen the last of war
I am the hope
And I am the despair
The path to peace
Will not be kind I fear

From darkest reaches
Armies descending
Birth of a new age
Still standing strong

Sharpened by hard years
Lived through the nightmare
But it's not over
Still marching on

There will be no war to end all wars
Soldiers sent to fight and die once more
A truth as inescapable as fate
This weight we bear

I am the dread
I am the coming storm
Only the dead
Have seen the last of war
I am the hope
And I am the despair
The path to peace
Will not be kind I fear

Will we survive
Or find ourselves undone
The answer waiting in the wars to come
