Hold Tight, My Brother

Hold tight,
Hold tight, my Brother!
Armageddon's come,
     The signs and omens
          Fly about like demons!
The hellfire rakes our flesh,
     The Earth splits beneath our feet,
          The seas boil over!
But I'll never let you go,
     My Brother,
I'll never let you go.

 The hordes of Circumstance
      Are in our halls,
The hounds of Chance
     Snap behind our doors,
And old man Death
     Looks on through yonder window,
          Eyeing us with glee.
Our allies have abandoned us,
     Our homes engulfed in flame,
The countryside is overrun
     With the howls of tortured souls,
          Begging us to join their ranks.

But hold tight,
Hold tight, my Brother!
We'll face the beasts together,
     I your shield
          And you my spear!
We'll hurl them back to the Abyss,
     Throw them from our sight!
Arm in arm
     We'll catch them 'neath
           Our boots of steel,
               And grind them back to dust!
Hold tight,
Hold tight, my Brother,
 And I will never let you go,
     Oh no,
I'll never let you go!
