Engines of War

A marginal response
Vindictive friction
All assets utilised
In gross acts of attrition

Disrupt subconscious
Beyond enemy lines
Lay the lessons of the past
To rest on dead men's spines

Reel tormented
And you shall fall
Demoralising false insight
Engines of War
War

Waging open conflict
Armageddon's night
From common man to corpses
Is no sacrificial rite
Innocence to suffer
Vastness of greed
Mastery's possession
So Faustian, indeed

Reel tormented
And you shall fall
Demoralising false insight
Engines of War
War

This world of nightmare graves
Twisted reality
Engorged upon man's hatred
Compulsive lust for savagery

Bloodshed for evermore
Neverwhen, Engines of War

Battlefield, a wasteland
The wreckage now unfurled
No remorse, no forgiveness
No respite this netherworld

Darkness borne through centuries
Bloodshed evermore
Eternally regressing neverwhen
Engines of War
War
