War Drum

War is dawning o’er the horizon still

A bloodied sun piercing valley ‘n hill

The bleats of horns boiling blood overfill’d 

Come, O Come, by your heart beat’s drum

Men arise and wolves awake

Seekin’ to plunder and victory take

Lusting fortunes and history make

Come, O Come, by your heartbeat’s drum

Till and toil the bones ye slay

Stir the ravens for souls that lay

Taking the breach and more this day

Come, O Come, by your heartbeat’s drum

Crowns and gold cannot protect,

Only the rage in hearts they get,

Valkyries plunder what their eyes’ve set

Come, O Come, by your heartbeat’s drum

Pray heed, stand fast, never forget

Actions taken, results ye get

Soon you need to repay thy debt,

Come, O Come, by your heartbeat’s drum

Spear and sword shall cut and slice

Away the fabric of this realm of life,

The Fates shall sneer at this warring strife,

Come, O Come, by your heartbeat’s drum

Remember, O mortals, that thee are dust,

But actions and words are immortal thus,

Keep mind of what’s set behind for us,

Come, O Come, by your heartbeat’s drum
