Engines of War

Oh

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

Never when 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, never when

Engines of war

War
