On Lies They Tread
Cries of the innocent
Screams of the dead
Voices snuffed out still whispering
Inside my head
Commanded
Misbranded
Red-handed
I'm stranded
They tell me what to be
My will is nought
Commit depraved barbarity
No second thought
Instilling
The killings
Blood spilling
Unwilling
(Enlist)
Signing my whole life away
(Go now)
Don't take me, I'd rather stay
(To die)
Unknown, on the dirt we lay
(False cause)
But I'll still do what they say
Pretended righteousness
The name of God
With crafted lies built to defend
Their black façade
Deceiving
Believing
Achieving
Truth thieving
Blood flows beneath my feet
Corpses stacked high
So undeserved but nonetheless
Guiltless still die
Their ire
Untired
Aspire
Crossfire!
(Enlist)
Signing my whole life away
(Go now)
Don't take me, I'd rather stay
(To die)
Unknown, on the dirt we lay
(False cause)
But I'll still do what they say
Hostiles slaughtered by our guns
But they are also mother's sons
Dehumanize to ease the guilt
But the deed's already done
Despair in the air
Corruption everywhere
Alliances of fear
Spread fear everywhere
Dawn of lies
War for prize
End of lives
Make 'em bleed, break their will
Give 'em guns, watch 'em kill
Messengers of the end
Our words, they will bend
Dawn of lies
War for prize
End of lives
Empty promises
False hope prophecies
Righteous callousness
White lie palaces!
Dawn of lies
War for prize
End of lives!
Cries of the innocent
Screams of the dead
The ground beneath built on deceit
On lies they tread
Invaded
Crusaded
Degraded
So hated
(Enlist)
Signing my whole life away
(Go now)
Don't take me, I'd rather stay
(To die)
Unknown, on the dirt we lay
(False cause)
But I'll still do what they say
Hands that kill can never be clean
Hecatomb cannot be unseen
Buy into the lies that they sell
Follow in their footsteps to hell
Screams of the dead
Voices snuffed out still whispering
Inside my head
Commanded
Misbranded
Red-handed
I'm stranded
They tell me what to be
My will is nought
Commit depraved barbarity
No second thought
Instilling
The killings
Blood spilling
Unwilling
(Enlist)
Signing my whole life away
(Go now)
Don't take me, I'd rather stay
(To die)
Unknown, on the dirt we lay

But I'll still do what they say
Pretended righteousness
