Titus Androgynous

lyrics

Retreat
The battle is lost

The armor has been pierced
There’s no recovering from this

Dodge the arrows while we make our escape

Leave the wounded
Save your own lives

This is not a victory
But this is no defeat
We will return
Twice as many
And twice as strong

They come after us
Their horses well fed
Their bodies well built
This may be no escape
Us a white flag of surrender
Meant nothing to them
They continue patterns against us
We may have lost lost this
For the entire kingdom
I do not think that we
Will find a way home

We should return their charge
Go Out Standing tall

Battle stations
Soldiers gather
Unite

Do not for your lives
Because fear has left
There is no chance for your life to be saved
So lose it with dignity

Strike the flint
Burn their trees
Steal their air
Make them feel
The losses of today
For generations to come
We may
 have lost
 our
 houses But
 their
 homes
Will remember our hands
And vibrate in terror

At the thought
Of our return
The children
Will tremble
A village
Built on tears
Of what horrors
Are yet to come

Cut them all
Limb from limb
Slaughter them
Flay Their skin

Leave no person
Left recognizable
As an individual
Or even as a human

Light to the touch
Quick to the draw
Take ten for each of our one
Let them survive
But never be the same

Cut out their tongues
Remove their eyes
Eat at their hearts
And go back for seconds

Make sure they see
What you have done to their kin
And to expect the same for their future armies

There is no room for mercy here
Only savagery

Leave them pale
Drink their
Blood for strength

Charge to your deaths
To give us new life

They retreat
The cowards
Now we ignore their pleas
As they ignored ours

All is fair
In love and war
And my only love
Is blood and torture

Burning
Every corpse
Burning
Every home
Burning
Desire
To kill

It's a sum zero game
The only winner is the crows
A murder for a murder
Waiting for their feast
Once I have the head of the king
And he has my head in return
If we can’t retreat
You can’t survive

This is the final breath
Force them into a mass grave
Six feet below
Where they raised their children
Six feet below where they hung their hats
Wix feet below where they once called home
Six feet below with the rest of us
