Megadeth How the Story Ends song lyrics

Far off on the horizon you can barely see the torches

But rest assure, 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 rain of clashing steel they raise the flags of war

A sign to all the warriors who cannot hear

Amidst smoke of cannon balls 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's slashed and burned

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's slashed and burned

You may not like it now but this is how the story ends
