Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Initiate blood purge
Coalition in massacre
Mechanized high tech
Wholesale death in effect
Mutually assured
Destruction will occur
Genocide revised
Same pain through diverse eyes
[Verse 2]
Can't stop the warring factions
Can't stop the warring factions
Can't stop the warring factions
[Verse 3]
Hostile from the start
Always war always
Ending bitter peace
Not the last third war
Blood spills forevermore
Patriot hard line
Lay siege till the end of time
[Verse 4]
No longer kill your brother
Just slaughter one another
Watch for the deadly other
This sibling is a fucker
[Verse 5]
Can't stop the warring factions
Can't stop the warring factions
Global tension starts aggression
Peace breaks out then breeds contempt unrest
[Instrumental]
Lead: Hanneman
Lead: King
[Verse 6]
Without a reason to fight
A time to kill
Sick lust for skeletal flesh
A taste for all decay
Enter the soldier blind
Stalking the faceless hunt
There is no conscience in this world
That can be reached for peace
[Verse 7]
Why face the human question
The need to hate
Dead stare through cynical eyes
A trust in only pain
Murder within the skin
Engrave the art of war
Become death's vile parade
March on embrace the violent mind
[Verse 8]
Can't stop the warring factions
Can't stop the warring factions
Global tension starts aggression
Peace breaks out then breeds contempt unrest
[Verse 9]
One cryptic reason for life murder
