The Iron Duke

All that I've left behind
All that I've sacrificed
Never I'll fight again
Blood is too high a price

One night before, every chair in here was filled
Empty inside, staring at vacant thrones of my kin

Pride undone
Battles lost,
Wars we won
Count the cost

Reading the list of slain, weeping in deepening dismay
There is still loss in gain, do not congratulate

Now that we've spoken, now that we've won
Pray it's all over, peace has begun

And now it's time to cast him out
The toll of our dead is on him
And in this world of gears and decay
Nobody is innocent anyway
