The fields are filled with fire
Underneath a blackened sky And as the ashes start to smolder The smoke begins to rise Wave after wave The endless siege of war Is fought and waged Upon this very soil Which becomes the stage For scenes of horror To be scared and raped By destructions toil The offense marches forward Driving the defenses back Here battle's either lost or won It's been proven before Here lies the deciding factor The nucleus of war It's this line of demarcation That will settle the score Day after day The blood is spilled It's washed away Into the battlefield You can hear the pain Of the wounded who cry This body-littered landscape Is the frontline The offense marches forward Driving the defenses back Here battle's either lost or won It's been proven before Here lies the deciding factor The nucleus of war It's this line of demarcation That will settle the score The fields are filled with fire Underneath a blackened sky And as the ashes start to smolder The smoke begins to rise From the blasts of mortar The shrapnel flies While from the aircraft Tracer bullets snipe The smell of burning flesh Comes from those who die As their screams of death Send shivers down your spine 02. Into The Ovens
Killed for nothing
Scapegoats die Sickening games Desecration Kill them all What a shame Haunted helpless Slain like cattle Dark and grim Der Further's forces Armed for battle Minds of sin 03. Commando
Third Reich marches
Like hells children Hail to thee Hail Hitler Swastika, blasphemy Round them up And send them off To death camps God is crying Satan rules this command Flying over jungles To bomb innocent people For my country Hired assassins Exterminate the enemy For good money Dropping the bombs Of deadly napalm To clear the landscape Gunning the village Shoot everything that moves No one is safe They're running for shelter No one below shall live When the day is through They try their best To fight off the offense But what can they do Round up the bodies And if the count is high They'll be rewarded He has the orders To bomb the next village But what's the motive Johnny's a hero He's killed more people Than any other Johnny's a hero and he returns home Without his brother Johnny's a vet now His mind is twisted From what he's been through He's in a mental ward And next could be you No more war - no more war 04. M.I.A.
As the generals gave their orders
The bodies stacked up high Fighting for your country You watched your buddies die You never knew the reason You never found out why You just served your duty And never come back alive Because the price for freedom Is always paid in sacrifice The cost was many young men Who gave us their young lives I swear I will never forget you I swear you're still alive Until I see your body I'll pray for you at night Blessed be the brave men For whom we still cry The missing in action Are men of great pride Did you die for my country Did you die so that I could be free Did you die for my country Did you die so that I could be free 05. Power Corrupts
Hear the hungry mercy plea
Of withered young and old Rich men always rule the peasant An old tale is retold Morals or money You must decide Your true convictions Every man has his price Good men turned to tyrants By the power in their hands Possessed by gold, guns and glory Evil rules the land Citizens suffers A dictator destructs Money is power And power corrupts 06. P.T.L.
Can I sell you religion
I'd like to sell you some faith So dig deep in your pockets Let's sing Amazing Grace I don't care if you're rich I don't care if you're broke I'd like to make you a Christian I'd like to sell you some hope I can sell you faith for money I can sell you faith I can sell you faith for money I can sell you faith I've got the power to heal you Just trust my holy hands I may even try to seduce you I'll prove that I'm the man God bought me this limo And this expensive new suit It's time to praise the lord It's time to pass the loot I can sell you faith for money I can sell you faith I can sell you faith for money I can sell you faith 07. Greenhouse
The mercury is climbing
The air is thick and dry The temperature keeps on rising From the toxins in the sky The layers keep depleting In an atmosphere that dies From the degradation That is the slow decline The outcome for the blindness A sentence for our crime This menace man's creation A peril we devised From our deprivation The destruction we provide Will become the ending To our own demise The outcome will be hell Hell on this earth To poison our beginning And our rebirth The outcome will be hell Hell on this earth Slowly the erosion Becomes our suicide As the deadly gas keeps seeping And spews into the sky The triatomes grow weaker To eminently die As we taint the heavens With our poison fuming knife The gaping wound is open And torn into the sky CFC's corrosion Envelope from inside Dissolving the ozone Furthering our plight Forcing us to answer The question's now in sight The outcome will be hell Hell on this earth To poison our beginning And our rebirth The outcome will be hell Hell on this earth 08. Smear
Killing, killing, killing
Corruption rears its head Man against his brother 'Till all the men are dead Colors always clashing Religions always fight The power conflict surges But who the hell is right Provoking man's destruction Our leaders always will Improving death's devices A better way to kill Battle to control the world The struggle never dies Man must change his ways If mankind's to survive Murder for money or fun Killing off each other Humanity's done Hatred you can not deny Stop this senseless slaughter If man is to survive 09. Disarm And Survive
A generation long since gone
Have passed the problem on The children of our world today Inherited the bombs The leaders of our troubled world Keep it's numbers high When all it means is certain death I ask the question why - why? Disarm and survive Disarm and survive Disarm and survive Disarm and survive Every nation must become as one To stop the damage Before disaster's done 'Cause I know got to be true 10. World War III
A burst of radiation's light
Melting and burning your flesh A missile travels through the sky The impact turns nations to ash Warheads are coming And people are running Atomic disaster decays Mutants and lepers Are walking the earth Victims, political slaves It's world war three World war three The walls are flashing defcon five Generals give orders to launch Earth's population starts to fry The outcome no one has won Warheads are coming And people are running Atomic disaster decays Mutants and lepers Are walking the earth Victims, political slaves It's world war three World war three 11. Aftermath
[Instrumental]
12. Random Violence
The bombs of devastation
Had fallen from the sky Our earth was turned to a wasteland The world was left to die Then came the new beginning For those that did survive The horror and destruction From the missiles blinding light Survival of the fittest Only the strongest few survived The winds of radiation To complete the genocide Forced to loot and pillage To scavenge for their lives From barren ruins of nothing The signs of hope arise The plains of desolation Were the only place to hide The aftermath was over When they finally realized The production of destruction Was about to erase our kind Unless they find an answer To stop the hands of time Through nuclear winter We must survive A world turned to wasteland But we're still alive The nightmare of war Was the fate of two tribes Through torment and torture Will mankind survive We will survive 13. Evil's End
When the Jews return to Zion
And a comet rips the sky The Holy Roman Empire rises Then you and I must die From the eternal sea he rises Creating armies on either shore Man against his brother 'Till man exists no more |
