Echoes on the wind, armor turned to rust Flags torn down, buried in dust The songs we sang now choke in the air Where heroes stood, there’s no one there We were the fire, we were the steel Now all that’s left is what we feel These are the dying legions, lost in the storm Once we were mighty, now we mourn Fighting for names they don’t remember But we still burn like dying embers These are the dying legions — fading, but born to war Skies turn black, the light turns cold Glory fades but the pain still holds They write us off, say the end is near But they forget we live through fear History breaks what it can’t control But it never kills a rebel soul These are the dying legions, lost in the storm Once we were mighty, now we mourn Fighting for names they don’t remember But we still burn like dying embers These are the dying legions — fading, but born to war Let ‘em write their books in peace We’re the blood between the sheets Even if the world moves on We are the ghost that won’t be gone These are the dying legions, lost in the storm Once we were mighty, now we mourn Fighting for names they don’t remember But we still burn like dying embers These are the dying legions — fading, but born to war
