lyrics

Bombs drop to the open streets, obliterate the ground beneath. Shrapnel sprays from buildings. Concrete rains down on their naked feet. Cityscapes reduced to gore. Limbs and last breaths sear through the air. Children grow up without a pair. Do the people at the top even fucking care?

It’s a mass slaughter of mankind, orders sent down the line from a crooked spine. Broken men now suited up for the grind, to hit the battlefield, where they’ll lay right down to…

Die. Join their brothers who will…
Die. This isn’t the place to…
Die. Time after time men and women are sent off to…

And it’s not fair. It’s a lie.

Commit your years. So much you’ll train, to learn the fight and desensitize pain. The horrors of war imprinted on your brain. It all means nothing. It’s just another fucking day. Until you awake from a horrid dream, alone in your bed to the sound of your screams, echoing those you’ve forced from others. No mercy to be shown when we’re all just numbers who will…

Die. Join your brothers who will…
Die. This isn’t the place to…
Die. Time after time men and women are sent off to…

Die in the name of peace.

Billows of smoke glimpse the sky. Burning bodies that were once alive. Helpless hands grasp for life. A glaze of red seals lifeless eyes. Take a breath, the last breath you’ll take. Remember your life, sight of a loved one’s face. The world is cruel, so fuck the human race. The world is cruel, so fuck the human…

Race to the finishing place. Gold metal in teeth, leaders knock down those who get in their way. No limits to their rampage. Their carnivorous fangs sink into debauchery and greed and then we’ll…
