How The Story Ends - Megadeth

Far off on the horizon you can barely see their torches

But rest assured 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 ring of clashing steel, they raise flags of war

A sign to all the warriors who cannot hear

Amidst smoke of cannonballs, 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 wells and scorch the earth, everything slashed and burnt

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 wells and scorch the earth, everything slashed and burnt

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