Siege Tower

Tonight we fight with fire in my eyes

There is no break from endless war, we cannot rest tonight

The siege tower will guide us into battle

Commission armour from the blacksmith for the horse I straddle

I salute the castle high up on the hill

I pray for my family as I go in for the kill

My sharpened battleaxe, artillery prepped to attack

Trebuchet loaded and pulled back

Siege tower approaching sky goes black

Inch by inch, inch by inch

The siege tower crawls across the battlefield

Inch by inch, inch by inch

The siege tower crawls across the battlefield

Inch by inch, inch by inch

Inch by inch, inch by inch

Inch by inch, inch by inch

The siege tower crawls across the battlefield

Battlements, arrow split

Razor sharpened arrow tip

Well-equipped with gauntlets gripped

The sword they throw your throat is slit

Armour shines bright as day

Built of stone you're built of clay

Weaponry an array

Take your pick, they're built to slay

Skull is crushed, turned to dust

Throats been cut thrown into mud

Blunt force trauma you've been clubbed

Crying out for those you loved

Cannon fodder hopelessness

Breastplate punctured openness

Thousand soldiers motionless

Slaughtered them emotionless

Inch by inch, inch by inch

Inch by inch, inch by inch

Inch by inch, inch by inch

The siege tower crawls across the battlefield
