Tema

Un escenario de guerra sombrío y apocalíptico que detalla la destrucción inevitable provocada por un enemigo que marcha. La frase **'Cómo Termina la Historia'** se refiere a una política de tierra quemada (**'Envenena el pozo y quema la tierra'**) y aniquilación militar completa, sugiriendo que a pesar de los esfuerzos esperanzadores, la guerra siempre conduce a la misma conclusión devastadora: todo queda 'cortado y quemado'.

Letra

Far off on the horizon You can barely see their torches But rest assured They're out there and they're coming If you listen The sound is growing nearer of infantry Marching out a hypnotizing rhythm Destroying every town Light it up and burn it down You may not like it now But this is how the story ends Above the ring of clashing steel They raise flags of war A sign to all the warriors who cannot hear Amidst smoke of cannonballs They bang the drums of death Pound a cadence out for those who cannot see Destroying every town Light it up and burn it down You may not like it now But this is how the story ends Poison the well and scorch the earth Everything's slashed and burnt You may not like it now But this is how the story ends Destroying every town Light it up and burn it down You may not like it now But this is how the story ends Poison the well and scorch the earth Everything's slashed and burnt You may not like it now But this is how the story ends
