KING OF NOTHING

In the year before we lost our empire We were children on the march We were told we had to serve our empire and die In our wake we only left destruction Sent their children to the graves In the year before we lost our empire and died The war was lost but we went on Our king was dead and in the end nobody won We were told to march to death and glory We were told it's for our land In the end our tribe was left with nothing and died In the time when all our hearts were frozen We were soldiers for the king In our wake we left their castles burning and died The war was lost but we went on And when the harvest came we found our king was gone The war was lost but we went on And when we paid the price we found our king was gone The war was lost but we fought on The war was lost and in the end nobody won
