Lyrics

Father wont be coming home 
The child cries
As we savor
Such sweet sorrow

No my angel you must witness 
The greatest martyrfication
Of the failed design
Of wretched civilization

We fall as far
As devils arms can stretch 
God was once but may he rest 
In this putrid basin
Of bloodstained glass
And bullet casings

The world was bright
The world was yours
The world was pure 
But it is no more

This world is hells for the taking
Close the coffin 
Bury your sons 
And realize
No war is ever won

Still we charge
To the beat of the drum 
Selfish fools
What have we become

Mechanized
Assembly lines
Churning out sophisticated death designs 
War machine
So refined
Mutilated bodies on the front line 

Corpses line the streets
Set ablaze
Survivors guilty conscience
Counting down the days

Losing their identity 
Hunting down the enemy 
Wallow in the misery
Of bloodstained memories

Destroyer of dreams
The damage is done
Here comes the beat of the war drum

Here comes the beat of the war drum

Every hand becomes a fist 
All hope incinerates
Take sight
Aim straight
Close your eyes 
Annihilate

Close the coffin 
Bury your sons 
And realize
No war is ever won

Still we charge
To the beat of the drum 
Selfish fools
What have we become

Shadow government
Dealing punishment
All will worship at the serpents covenant 
Human casualties
Engineered insanity
Wallow in the misery
Of bloodstained memories

Destroyer of dreams 
The life of mankind 
The death in between

Destroyer of dreams
The damage is done
Here comes the beat of the war drum

Here comes the beat of the war drum

Every hand becomes a fist 
All hope incinerates
Take sight
Aim straight 
Close your eyes 
Annihilate

The world was bright
The world was yours
The world was pure
But it is no more
This world is hells for the taking

This world is hells for the taking

Every hand becomes a fist 
All hope incinerates
Take sight
Aim straight
Close your eyes Annihilate
