I'm surprised no one has yet bothered to update the lyrics on the available tabs for this song. This one is for anyone who wants to sing it without sounding like an idiot. Intro: [Em7 - Em7/F# - G] x2 [EmC] x2
Em                C     Em            C
        Come the war,       come the avarice

Em                C         Em            C
        Come the war, come Hell

Em                C     Em              C
        Come attrition,        come the reek of bones

Em                C          Em            C
        Come attrition, come Hell

G             D          Em         C
  This is why,  why we fight, why we lie awake

G             D             C
  This is why,  this is why we fight

G                  D             Em          C
  And when we die,   we will die,   with our arms unbound

G             D             C 
  This is why,   this is why we fight,

Em                C     Em             C
Bride of quiet,                 Bride of all unquiet things

Em                C              Em
Bride of quiet, Bride of Hell

Em                C     Em             C
Come the archers,               come the infantry

Come the archers of Hell

G             D          Em         C

  This is why,  this is why we fight

G                  D             Em          C
  And when we die,   we will die,   with our arms unbound

  This is why,   this is why we fight,
