We shoulda seen it coming, how we should have known
But we were too far gone, possessed with ghosts from long ago
Wearing the wartime colors brighter than the sun
To defend an earth covered in rot this battle must be won
For all our stoic speeches
Of stiffened backs and calls to fight 
We never thought to look back
To see our future left behind

The bowstrings drawn, arrows alight
We're sinking deeper as they streak across the sky
Returning home to nothing left 
And when it ended we were somehow still surprised
Unsudden death 

Heels digging deeper into lifeless, broken ground
Defied the vultures and the rabid baying of the hounds
No omen was enough to satisfy our lust
We betrayed all other gods except the ones that promised blood
For all our great ambitions
For all the songs we thought they'd sing 
To call to mind our vict'ry
We never would win anything 

The bowstrings drawn, arrows alight
We're sinking deeper as they streak across the sky
Returning home to nothing left 
And when it ended we were somehow still surprised
Unsudden death 

Where'd it all go wrong (we'll cry in pain)
We could have stopped this all along (but we fought in vain)
But like hell we'll give up ground 

For all our stoic speeches
Of stiffened backs and calls to fight 
We never thought to look back
To see our future left behind

And when we tell our children
We'll say the other army fled 
But what we leave our children 
A slow and agonizing unsudden death
