Battlegrounds

Eclipse

Compositor: Erik Martensson / Magnus Henriksson / Miqael Persson

Some thousand years been counted down
Kings and queens have lost their crowns
Live by the sword and you're gonna die
By the sword

Empires built on broken bones
Conquerors carved their names in stone
Where are they now everything's
Withered away

They have fallen one by one
Building castles to the sun
Only ruins can be found
On battlegrounds

All their glory days are gone
So much pain but nothing's won
Only ruins can be found
On battlegrounds

We fight for land that will be here
Long, long after we've disappeared
More wanting more that's just
The way of the world

The winner writes the history books
The pain and blood is overlooked
Written in ways so it will suite their own game

They have fallen one by one
Building castles to the sun
Only ruins can be found
On battlegrounds

All their glory days are gone
So much pain but nothing's won
Only ruins can be found
On battlegrounds

Some thousand years been counted down
Kings and queens have lost their crowns
