How The Story Ends Lyrics

Megadeth How The Story Ends

Far off on the horizon you can barely see their torches
But rest assured they're out there and they're coming
If you listen, the sound is growing nearer of infantry
Marching out a hypnotizing rhythm

Destroying every town
Light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now
But this is how the story ends

Above the ring of clashing steel,
they raise flags of war
A sign to all the warriors who cannot hear
Amidst smoke of cannonballs,
they bang the drums of death
Pound a cadence out for those who cannot see

Destroying every town
Light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now
But this is how the story ends

Poison the well and scorch the earth
Everything is slashed and burnt
You may not like it now
But this is how the story ends

Destroying every town
Light it up and burn it down
You may not like it now
But this is how the story ends

Poison the well and scorch the earth
Everything is slashed and burnt
You may not like it now
But this is how the story ends
