Elimination

Pray to keep this summer eve 
Rest your weary, aching back 
On the dark’ning must we leave 
To press our next attack 

Rest your weary, aching back 
Maelstrom fighting fierce awaits
To press out next attack 
To be the masters of our fates

Maelstrom fighting fierce awaits 
We falter and we fade 
To be the masters of our fates 
Our bloodstains on the blade 

We falter and we fade 
Though our aim be ever true 
Our bloodstains on the blade 
Reflect the glow of day anew
