Blood for Oil

Razor wire sunrise, another day in hell
Trenches filled with ghosts, stories they can't tell
Shrapnel scars my body, echoes in my head
Brother by my side, another one left dead

This machine of war, it grinds on and on
Blood for oil and power, where do we belong?
Flags unfurl in hatred, lies drip from their tongue
This symphony of violence, forever unsung
Faceless figures barking, orders cold and stark
Blindfolded by the bullets, leaving their mark
Innocence is shattered, on the battlefield's floor
Children lose their laughter, in the endless war

This machine of war, it grinds on and on
Blood for oil and power, where do we belong?
Flags unfurl in hatred, lies drip from their tongue
This symphony of violence, forever unsung
Empty promises whispered, futures turned to dust
Haunted by the fallen, their trust turned to rust
Is there hope beyond this madness? Can we break the chains?
Or are we just the fuel, for this fire that remains?
This machine of war, it grinds on and on
Blood for oil and power, where do we belong?
Flags unfurl in hatred, lies drip from their tongue
This symphony of violence, forever unsung
We fight, we die, a broken lullaby
This machine of war, forever we cry
