Fifty and Ten thousand torches light the night
The scouts return screaming
"Fly for your lives! Fly!!"
The ramparts are in ruins
The siege is done
We have lost
And they have won
We are overrun
The castle has fallen
The king is dead
They have taken his throne
And they have taken his head
The king is dead
We are the people erased in a night
We tried to run
And we tried to fight
We have become legend
Just a tale of woe
This forsaken ground is littered with our bones
Men like demons descended from above
From a fortress in the sky hell rained down on us
Our blood and our souls they claimed as their only prize
They slaughtered us laughing with fire dancing in their eyes
The king is dead
