Inhale In Exile
from Ancient by White Arms of Athena
about
A song from a recoding session in 2007.
lyrics
No matter what they pit against him, he will not conform.
Sometimes, soldiers fight alone and they win.
He fights alone and he wins. He wins.
He stands strong in his quest, and he shall rule with an iron fist.
Against the might of a million men, he wins.
He'll win battles, and he'll win wars, and he shall rule with an iron fist.
And the world shall see things his way.
Cold as stone, and fucking immortal.
But at the end of his miserable life he lays, and he says,
"Ill never know what comes of this place, but I know
I took my chances here. And now, I'll just do my time, alone.
But I can't stay in this place."
"And what of those nights, with the stars?
They were nothing to me, and shooting stars would be better
if they came down as the wishes we hoped for."
Sometimes, soldiers fight alone and they win.
He fights alone and he wins. He wins.
He stands strong in his quest, and he shall rule with an iron fist.
Against the might of a million men, he wins.
He'll win battles, and he'll win wars, and he shall rule with an iron fist.
And the world shall see things his way.
Cold as stone, and fucking immortal.
But at the end of his miserable life he lays, and he says,
"Ill never know what comes of this place, but I know
I took my chances here. And now, I'll just do my time, alone.
But I can't stay in this place."
"And what of those nights, with the stars?
They were nothing to me, and shooting stars would be better
if they came down as the wishes we hoped for."
