The news just broke today, my cousin has been slain
In the streets of Sarajevo dawns the ending of your reign
Don't grieve, my father, please I can only share your pain
You will do what must be done, and conjure death's domain
Rising madness on the edge of night
Falling darkness in the fading light
War To End All Wars
It's a clash of honor, blood and steel
Path to destruction, they're falling in scores
Austriae Est Imperare Orbi Universo
Into the dark, we are marching to war
Franz Joseph (to himself):
The message has been clear, there is no turning back
War is on our doorstep and red will turn to black
I will do what must be done, the empire will rise
In the end let glory reign, or witness its demise
Searching heaven on the road to hell
Death rides swiftly with sword and shell
War To End All Wars
It's the price of honor, blood and steel
Path to destruction, they're falling in scores
Austriae Est Imperare Orbi Universo
Into the dark, speak the vowels of war
Dawn of the war, last of the Habsburgs
Bonded by blood, they are sealing their fate
Deep in the trench, men fall by the thousands
The end of the reign, only death remains
War To End All Wars
It's the toll of honor, blood and tears
No more redemption, this cross will be yours
Austriae Est Imperare Orbi Universo
Into the night, speak the vowels of war
War To End All Wars
It's a clash of honor, blood and steel
Path to destruction, they're falling in scores
Austriae Est Imperare Orbi Universo
Into the dark, whisper vowels of war
