The barbarians are at the gates,
The same as always,
Hurling themselves against the ramparts,
Hellbent on destruction.
*
The same as always,
Determined wave after determined wave,
Hellbent on destruction,
Wielding their nihilism like a battering ram.
*
Determined wave after determined wave,
Raging against the foundations,
Wielding their nihilism like a battering ram,
Brandishing double-edged words like swords.
*
Raging against the foundations,
Hurling themselves against the ramparts,
Brandishing double-edged words like swords,
The barbarians are at the gates.
