Yield or Die

Lyrics for Yield or Die

Drilled since birth On sturdy beasts Hunting, racing, wrestling And archery Joyous first kill at the age of thirteen Young nomad offspring, wiping knives clean Collective nature Aggressive man Stoical hardship Scavenging the land Leathery skin covered with lice Sacred the waters that fall from the skies Undisputed rule Shaping the great dread Vast expansion Essential bloodshed A realm on the rise, unlimited prize Glorious tribes For plunder they ride Yield or die Legendary conquest In the saddle for months Connecting east and west Fighting multiple fronts Roasted, skewered victims Raw liver and heart Ears worn as trophies Booty, their reward The women to serve, the children enslaved Provinces spared if the tribute is paid Devil's Reavers Warrior ponies rear Genocidal scheme, a tyranny of fear Standards of loyal Tumen raised high for their Lord On to your knees or feel the wrath of the horde In a pile of rubble Cities burn Soil salinization Life never to return Heaven's on fire, newborn empire Victorious tribes For plunder they ride Yield or die Victorious tribes For plunder they ride Yield or die
