Citadel

I look upon the downfall

From a bastion of hope

The pinnacle of our greatness

Now the final wall

With no room for doubt

I will tear down every brick

But nothing could have ever

Prepared me for this

Is this the end of an empire

Has the cycle come to close

Shall we tear down every statue

Rewrite the stories to be told

Deface every mural like we've

Done so many times before

A mockery of what we fought for

But it's all I've ever known

If we fail

All will fall

But death shall have no dominion

When the praetorian stands guard

If we fail

All will fall

No soul shall breach these ramparts

While the praetorian remains

A monument of glory

Never to be made

For joy has turned to terror

In such traitorous disgrace

Stoic in the face of duty

Until the bitter end

Standing atop this citadel

The tidal wave begins

Is this the end of an empire

Has the cycle come to close

Shall we tear down every statue

Rewrite the stories to be told

Deface every mural like we've

Done so many times before

A mockery of what we fought for

But it's all I've ever known

If we fail

All will fall

But death shall have no dominion

When the praetorian stands guard

If we fail

All will fall

No soul shall breach these ramparts

While the praetorian remains

In our darkest hour

When they crash against the gates

I'll promise to rebuild it all

And forgive your past mistakes

Will my brothers stand beside me

To stem the rising tide

Will we stand defiant

Against our own kind

Is this the end of an empire

Has the cycle come to close

Shall we tear down every statue

Rewrite the stories to be told

Deface every mural like we've

Done so many times before

A mockery of what we fought for

But it's all I've ever known

If we fail

All will fall

But death shall have no dominion

When the praetorian stands guard

If we fail

All will fall

No soul shall breach these ramparts

While the praetorian remains

If we fail

All will fall

If we fail

All will fall

All will fall

All will fall
