War Fair
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
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
