lyrics

Locked in combat once again
We have done this much before
I have slaughtered them so far
But they still come back for more

Their horns outnumber my orb
But I have physics on my side
They are standing still
As I unleash my first assault

As the aftermath presents itself
Only two of us remain
Death surrounded us but somehow we survived
So we have to carry on
carry on

We are the two remaining soldiers
Standing single file in line
If you want to win this battle we have waged
You must get past one to get to the other

I hate soldiers - they're a pain in my side
It's like one is hiding - trying to elude its fate
When my orb returns, it's time for them to die

Pray for us all - the ones who are still fighting
We are the only hope that's left
Casualties racking up - things sure look bleak right now
But if one stays alive then our job is done

And now it's time for battle
It's reloaded and ready to fight
The orb has hit the first one
But curved too much to finish the job

The conflict is now finished
Only one horn has been spared
The front line man has fallen
But the back line soldier soldiers on

Sing a song for the fallen soldier
