Deafening Silence - The Last Stand

Part I: Delusion

Caught in the middle of a drama that I can't prevent
Looking back to the reasons why here we were sent
Understanding
I guess I can't
Some bad feeling
Just an attempt
I had a dream last night
Thought that we took the wrong way
We believed we could fight
And hold on one more day
Only dreaming
For we can't stay
And next morning
We'll have to pray

Everything we stand for seem to vanish once and for all
Hundreds and maybe more paid their due on the first call
I don't know what to do should we leave or should we stay?
My men wonder too
Don't want them to go astray

Silence's growing
It's the calm before the storm
Common sense's rising
We'll all be gone before morn
Consequences
Should I care?
Losing my senses
A pure nightmare

What are we waiting for?
Don't they see that we won't prevail?
Can't do this anymore
Yet we cannot afford to fail
They just want us to fight for their own sake, for a lie
Until we lose our might
'Til we lose our life in a cry

What are we waiting for?
Don't we see that we won't prevail?
Can't do this anymore
But we cannot afford to fail
No, I don't think we lack
The courage that makes us strong
But now by doubt we're racked
What if we had lost all along?

Part II: The Surrounding

Now they're coming
With burnt offerings
Harassing, keep fighting, we must not give in

Falling into line
They wait for a sign
To the left, to the right, got them in our sight

We are outnumbered as we can see
And we know that it should not be
Entrenched near the farm?
We raised the alarm
We've been warned, put through arms, this enemy we damn
We hold our ground
Round after round
Comply with the order: never surrender

We can't do no more to defend
As we are trapped in the damned trench
Irony of fate
We've dug our grave

Farewell to our wives
Farewell to our lives
It's our last stand, this war will never end
Now here in this place
Our doom we will face
Condemned to die, we're the sacrificed

Their troops threatening
Artillery's pounding
Fierce shelling, deafening, our defence is falling

Still moving forward
Our foes strike hard
Too much blood we have poured, can't resist no more

We can't do no more to defend
As we are trapped in the damned trench
Irony of fate
We've dug our grave

Farewell to our wives
Farewell to our lives
It's our last stand, this war will never end
Now here in this place
Our doom we will face
Condemned to die, we're the sacrificed

Part III: Overthrown

Instrumental

Part IV: Retreat!

Pumped full of lead
Seen too many dead
Surrounded, blood we shed, should have left instead

They drove us back
A brilliant attack
We must flee, hastily, from the killing spree

We thought that we would overcome
Our victory has come undone
Irony of fate
We've dug our grave

Farewell to our wives
Farewell to our lives
It's our last stand, this war will never end
Now here in this place
Our doom we will face
Condemned to die, we're the sacrificed
