(The Price of a mile)
'Hear the sound of a machine gun
Hear it echo in the night
Mortals firing rains the scene
Scars the fields
That once were green
It's a stalemate at the front line
Where the soldiers rest in mud
Roads and houses
All is gone
There is no glory to be won
know that many men will suffer
Know that many men will die
Half a million lives at stake
Ask the fields of Passchendaele
And as the night falls the general calls
And the battle carries on and on
How long?
What is the purpose of it all
What's the price of a mile?
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army on the march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men's lives
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army in despair
Knee-deep in mud
Stuck in the trench with no way out
Thousands of machineguns
Kept on firing through the night
Mortars blazed and wrecked the scene
Guns in the fields that once were green
Still a deadlock at the front line
Where the soldiers die in mud
Roads and houses since long gone
Still no glory has been won
Know that many men has suffered
Know that many men has died
Six miles of ground has been won
Half a million men are gone
And as the men crawled the general called
And the killing carried on and on
How long?
What's the purpose of it all?
What's the price of a mile?
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army on the march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men's lives
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army in despair
Knee-deep in mud
Stuck in the trench with no way out
Young men are dying
They pay the price
Oh how they suffer
So tell me what's the price of a mile
That's the price of a mile.
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army on the march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men's lives
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army in despair
Knee-deep in mud
Stuck in the trench with no way out'
Durning the Great War a bombing campaign was held against Mistral. The Kingdom of Mistral skies turned dark due to the clouds but an eerie red sky came and with it. It almost seemed like it was raining fire.
'But a kingdom that has once been destroyed
Can never come back into being nor can
The dead ever be brought back to life'
Sirens begin to shout, people evacuate from the city, fireballs were raining into the city.
'Morning saw an air strike
The sirens scream out loud
Callings on the radio
Of what is coming
Appearing on the radar
A threat from over seas
Planes on the horizon
Casts shadows on the ground
Bringers of destruction
Are ravaging the land
Fury of the bombers
A force to reckon
Sets the world on fire
Then turns to strike again
Flames are burning higher
The bombs keep falling
Guns are blazing
As the sky is turning red
Better run to cover
You'll be quick or be dead
Burn burn
Rage of the heavens
Burn burn
Death from above
Die die
Merciless killing
Burn burn
Death from above'
Mistral's Defense Forces returned fire at their enemies while protecting as many of civilians as possible.
'Carpet bombing cities
And grinding them to dust
Abel men and women
Will all be victims
Everyone will suffer
The wake of their attack
Bombers show no mercy
A land in ruins
Homes have turned to rubble
And the airstrike has been approved
Tasting their destruction
Fear the black wings of death
Burn burn
Rage of the heavens
Burn burn
Death from above
Die die
Merciless killing'
The Kingdom was nearly in ruins but the people continue to fight back and defend their home.
'Nothing remains
Cities in ruins
Return to dust
Over the hills
Rise from the ashes
And fight
Aa guns are blazing
As the sky is turning red
Better run to cover
You'll be quick or be dead
Burn burn
Rage of the heavens
Burn burn
Death from above
Die die
Merciless killing
Burn burn
Death from above'
The bombardment of Mistral ended but the damage was already done.
Vacuo was still under threat of invasion so the Kingdom of Vacuo decided to attack in order to defend their home
(Glorious Land)
'Endless waste
Our patience runs thin
Here we stand ready
Let the battle begin!
Hit back! Charge!
As the forces arrive
Shove! Go! Push!
Leave no foes left alive!'
Vacuo forces meet against Mantle and Mistral forces and begin the largest defense battle.
'Facing the storm, battered and torn
Fighting for our Glorious Land!
Come take our hand, together we stand
Defending our Glorious Land!'
Vacuo began an counterattack and charged into the weaken Mantle forces.
'Darkness falls
And the screams fade away
Home of the fallen
And the home of the brave!
Facing the storm, battered and torn
Fighting for our Glorious Land!
Come take our hand, together we stand
Defending our Glorious Land!'
Vacuo were able to link up with Vale's forces and begin to push Mistral and Mantle out and into their own land.
'Facing the storm, battered and torn
Fighting for our Glorious Land!
Come take our hand, together we stand
Defending our Glorious Land!
Facing the storm, battered and torn
Fighting for our Glorious Land!
Come take our hand, together we stand
Defending our Glorious Land!'
Vacuo defense plan was victorious and Mistral and Mantle never invaded Vacuo again.
Durning the war numerous ceasefires were enabled if Grimm attacks worsen. Soon the war ended but this would later lead to the Faunus Rights Revolution but that is a story for a another time.
