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
