Beyond The Indus

Lyrics

Verse 1

We've crossed the mountains, crossed the sands
Followed kings through foreign lands
The wolf-banner still met the wind
At the edge where maps grew thin

Before us lay another world
Untouched by every tale we'd known
Even eagles feared to fly
Where no Greek had ever gone

Pre-Chorus

How far...
Must glory lead?
When every victory...
Demands another sea.

Chorus

Beyond the Indus!
At the edge of the sky
How many more brothers
Must fall before we're satisfied?

Beyond the Indus!
The unknown calls our names
But every road behind us...
Was paved with blood and flame

Verse 2

The old men looked toward home at last
Remembering Sparta's hills of stone
The Nile's gold and Persia's sun
Could never replace their home

Alexander's eyes burned brighter still
He dreamed beyond the morning light
But even kings must hear the hearts
Of men too weary to fight

Pre-Chorus

Not every battle...
Must be won.
Sometimes...
Home is enough.

Chorus

Beyond the Indus!
Where the rivers run
We had followed one great king...
Since we were young

Beyond the Indus!
The Wolf stood proud and true
But every Son of Sparta
Dreamed of home there too

Bridge

"We have marched to the edge of the world..."

One brother whispered.

"If there is another world beyond this...

Let another generation find it."

The camp fell silent...

And even Alexander...

Understood.

Final Chorus

Beyond the Indus!
The journey finds its end
Not because we lacked the courage...
But because we'd given everything

Raise the wolf-banner
One last time
For every mile behind us...
Was worth the climb

Outro

Beyond the Indus...

We found no new empire...

Only the truth...

That even legends...

Sometimes...

Go home.
