The War Game

[Intro] [One single blast of Heimdals horn] [distorted electronic drum beat, synth pads] [Verse 1] [gritty male vocals] I guess it's time for [shouted] WAAAR! It's a father's duty to answer the call for all No time for dread, we can do that when we're dead [Chorus] [full band, driving rhythm] Father's act, raise your hearts and hold the line The blood of God is mine Through fire and flame, we show no shame Now, let's play the war game [Post-Chorus] [dubstep-style synth bass, electronic percussion, glitch effects] [Verse 2] [distorted guitar riffs] The march is set to gray I know I'll never likely see another day When you stand and reach your gain, I'll be a ghost in your shell I gladly march to hell so you can live and tell Why I fell! [Chorus] [heavy guitars, soaring vocals] Raise your hearts and hold the line The blood of God is mine Through fire and flame, we show no shame Now, let's play the war game [Bridge] [violin solo enters, double-kick drumming] [distorted guitar solo] [Verse 3] [music softens, synth pads and light percussion] My little boy, my little girl You are my light in this dying world I'd trade my breath to keep you safe A metal heart in a shallow grave I leave you now, but hear me say [shouted] I HAD NO CHOICE! [Chorus] [full intensity, heavy guitars] I HAD NO CHOICE! Raise your hearts and hold the line The blood of God is mine Through fire and flame, we show no shame Now, let's play the war game [Outro] [heavy guitar chugging] The war game Just let them live [final trumpet swel with a warhorn blast, fade out] [End]
