eidolon - when will it end lyrics

[music: g. drover]
[lyrics: s. drover]

everyday a constant battle
fighting to survive
i prey oh god please let me stay alive
bodies scattered everywhere
soldiers left to die
the war continues with no end in sight

as the battle rages on - enemy in sight
artillery in hand - enhance the fight
i feel the end is coming near - but how will i survive
when decimation brings no hope to life

as dawn falls upon distant skies
the blue aurora of the moon
beams light upon the decay of humanity
as i scurry low in deep trenches
i wonder if i shall ever again
see the birth of a new day
blood-soaked visions race through my mind
as i hold tightly onto the threads of sanity
i prey deliverance to god
as soldiers of misfortune rot in a nameless grave

solo - glen

as i hear the wounded screaming
"please don't let me die"
laying low i hang my head and cry
as soldiers drift into eternal seas of red
what's to gain when all of us lie dead?
