Lyrics:
Come the war
Come the avarice
Come the war
Come hell

Come attrition
Come the reek of bones
Come attrition
Come hell

This is why
Why we fight
Why we lie awake
And this is why
This is why we fight

When we die
We will die
With our arms unbound

And this is why
This is why
Why we fight
Come hell

Bride of quiet
Bride of all unquiet things
Bride of quiet
Bride of hell

Come the archers
Come the infantry
Come the archers
Of hell

This is why
Why we fight

Why we lie awake
This is why
This is why we fight

And when we die
We will die
With our arms unbound
And this is why
This is why we fight
Come hell
Come hell

This is why
Why we fight
Why we lie awake
This is why
This is why we fight

When we die
We will die with our arms unbound
And this is why
This is why we fight

So come to me
Come to me now
Lay your arms around me
And this is why
This is why
We fight
Come hell
Come hell
Come hell
Come hell

  • @sproiygen YAR! Regreting that I didn't do that. ): Now I have to wait all year. );

  • this song reminds me of the Hunger Games

  • @DontPronounceThis I'm pretty sure that's just a little bonus - as far as I can tell, its on every version of the song - iTunes and a physical CD included.

  • @TourettesFTW Not nearly as plain as Radical Face's "Winter is Coming" being associated with Ned Stark... But I can certainly see what you mean.

    ... Always fun to associate folk/rock songs with fantasy novels, eh?

  • Anders.

  • @Jauckor You must be espanish.

  • @umbreonespeont6 the octoberists 

  • Makes me think of the speech that Roran gave in the Eldest of the inheritance book cycle.

  • why do they fight?
