Lyrics
Fight, fighting Look at all the fighting Fight, fighting, Witness all the wars Alarm, alarming Death .... is alarming Lead, leaders Lead us into war Bleed ... Your time to know Death processed What a fucked up way to go Must confess To your simple foe Bleed ... Or die ..... your hatred Most powerful ..... Death art thou so sacred Killing, just keep on killing ... Most powerful... Death art thou so sacred Killing, just keep on killing Dawn, dawning Dawning of a new ending Mourn, mourning You can’t choose which one Ice, ice age Just the earth’s way of cleansing Cleanse, cleansing So let’s start again Who’s the one Who traded milk for gain Here’s the gun Now go emboss(?) some pain Here’s the well Pull me new shame Who did this to us? ....your hatred Most powerful... Death art thou so sacred Killing, just keep on killing ....your hatred Most powerful .... Death art thou so sacred Killing, just keep on killing you Poor fools, yay In the end...... Accept that human nature Last to pretend that this does not occur Do not be surprised if paranoia is only right Bleed ... Your time to know Death processed What a fucked up way to go Must confess To your simple foe(?) Bleed ... Or die ...your hatred Most powerful... Death art thou so sacred Killing, just keep on killing ..hatred Most powerful... Death art thou so sacred Killing, just keep on killing you
