The Penalty of War Is Death
It came back with them
It started as a fever and ended a mess
A thirst and a longing
For blood and for flesh
One thing is for certain
It spread like a wild fire
It demanded the courage
To tear your world apart
Was it a gas?
Or radiation?
No one is for sure
Was it a test?
A consequence?
Many theories washed ashore
Chemical reactions
He always understood
But this one was different
To it there were no rules
It started in the cities
But nowhere was safe
Could it be the water?
Or could it be the rain?
Barricade yourself inside
Board up your windows and doors
Best now to keep quiet
Noise draws them close
Breathe in destruction
Breathe out your dreams
A world in dysfunction
Where living is a luxury
Ask yourself now
If it came to be
Could you bring yourself
To kill your family
"Can we make it through the winter?
Or any season at all?
How did it come to this?
Where did it all go wrong?"
"I guess we're being punished
A price put on our heads
The cost of fighting wars
The penalty is death."
It started as a fever and ended a mess
A thirst and a longing
For blood and for flesh
One thing is for certain
It spread like a wild fire

No one is for sure
Was it a test?
A consequence?
Many theories washed ashore

But nowhere was safe

Where living is a luxury
Ask yourself now

"I guess we're being punished
