[Verse 1]
Night vision on
Names on a list
Mud on my hands
Blood in the mist
I hear my heart
Pound in the leaves
Every branch I break
Another mother grieves
[Chorus]
Battle royal in a forest of the fallen
Every echo is a name that we keep calling
We are dying just to live one day more
Trading souls for a number on a scoreboard
Battle royal, see the bodies in the bracken
All this terror, and the countdown still is crackin'
If I win, tell me what is it for?
I'm the last one left
On a mountain of war
[Verse 2]
We used to laugh
Now we just hide
I see my friend
On the enemy side
They drop like rain
Cold and abrupt
The last word they say
Is “enough, enough”
[Chorus]
Battle royal in a forest of the fallen
Every echo is a name that we keep calling
We are dying just to live one day more
Trading souls for a number on a scoreboard
Battle royal, see the bodies in the bracken
All this terror, and the countdown still is crackin'
If I win, tell me what is it for?
I'm the last one left
On a mountain of war
[Bridge]
[Kick cuts, distant synths swell]
I don't want this crown
I don't want this crown (take it back)
Every victory scream
Is another heart cracked
If I walk out alive
Will I sleep at all?
Or hear this cursed forest
Every time I fall
[Chorus]
Battle royal in a forest of the fallen
Every echo is a name that we keep calling
We are dying just to live one day more
Trading souls for a number on a scoreboard
Battle royal, see the bodies in the bracken
All this terror, and the countdown still is crackin'
If I win, tell me what is it for?
I'm the last one left
On a mountain of war (of war)
