Collateral Carnage

Thunderous roars, the sky ignites
Metal birds with lethal might
Targets marked by unseen eyes
Innocence fades as humanity dies

Cogs in the machine, no faces to see
Casualties of war, just numbers to be
The trigger's pulled, the hammer falls
No room for mercy in these iron walls
These iron walls

Screams echo through the night
Shadows dance in the firelight
Ruins crumble, lives are torn
In the name of progress, they mourn

No justice found, no solace given
Tear down the veil, expose the lie

Collateral carnage, blood on their hands
Lives turned to ashes, blown across the lands
In the name of peace, we've lost our way

Bleeding hearts, crushed under steel
Wounds that time will never heal
No escape, no turning back
The war machine stays on track
Stays on track

No justice found, no solace given
Tear down the veil, expose the lie

Collateral carnage, blood on their hands
Lives turned to ashes, blown across the lands
In the name of peace, we've lost our way

Empires rise but at what cost

Demise echoing forever in the void

Innocence lost
Forever destroyed
