lyrics

War, bereft of era passage
Arms wide, greets friends and strangers
A service to oblivion for power whores

Wealthly tyrants preach persecutions, to advocate force solutions
Patriotic farce crushing sedition, skull-fuck the poor

Service-molded mercenaries, ignoble litanies
"Dirty work" execution on order, mankind bedridden

Convoluted legislation, sempiternal coup funding
Instill like-minded bellicists, eonian cycle repeating

Fighting to honor your country, by nature a virtuous deed
But those in power serve dual masters, one foreign, one greed
Command betrays its legion, derision towards the fleet
That bleeds for spineless bastards
Justified by doctored history

Acropolis beseeches thy life for thy ruler
To fight our causes just
Acclimate to poverty, disease, for our war
Through kings, czars, papacy, mein president
The song remains the same
Elite vice ordained command for more war

Aspiring Alexanders masquerading phallic fortitude
No force designed to conquer, only monetary dreams
Ransack another populace

Hardening once peaceful mindsets
The terrorists you war, you breed
And send our young to a slaughter

So tell me coward, how will you comfort the dying soldier?
Will you assure the means to this end are justified?
A meaning more than just the cash in your in pockets
With their last gasps, promise heaven?
What family will you support in this darkest hour?

A tale reviled, innocence led to the field, butchered
And when the conflict wanes, portray a fallacy of peace
For you would bear the mark, disciple of Cain

Bleed your servants dry

Life usurpers, profit vultures
Proxy conquerors, fucking worms

Newborn children torn from their mothers
Bred for profit, nothing more
Armed with pre-selected caskets
They march, for your war
Advocators, how are the frontlines?
Locked inside luxury homes
Far from the stench of fallen soldiers
They die, for your fucking war

For your war
