They Shake the Earth - Besieged

Over the hill marches the army.

Ten thousand strong, I hear them coming

And with each step they shake the earth.

We will run or we will die

They paint each city they pass red with the blood of its people, with no remorse

This is the end.

Like a cloud of locusts, they overtake the land and leave

behind desolation

The eyes that have seen the terror (and lived to tell of it) cry for us

Inaction has brought us here, and here is where we’ll stay

This is life as we know it

And why shouldn’t death reflect the life that we have lived?

Stagnant we perish

Blind we will die, because blind we have lived
