Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Amidst a swirling din of smoke and screaming on the battlefield
Reared on the teat of my dear mother War
Hardened to stone through abuse, mocked beaten and scorned
A bayonet-severed umbilical cord
[Verse 2]
The wind sings its sweet lullaby through a blackened and hollowed ribcage
I'm to die in battle divine with the flames as my grave
[Verse 3]
This realm of inhuman carnage where the blood eternally rains
To my brothers who've fallen before me, I will walk with you again
[Verse 4]
This is my demented playground
The horizon is howling ablaze
A skeletal village illuminates the sky
As fire destroys their grains
[Verse 5]
With glee I rape and torture
My pleasure is inflicting pain
With a vigor unholy I'll fight to my doom
Till I've vanquished the Christian god's ways
[Verse 6]
Oh it must be such a different world
To which those on the outside exist
At least I know who loves me here
No delusions, all weakness dismissed
[Verse 7]
An era of inhuman tragedy
To be ushered by my iron hand
The ovens bellowed to crematory highs
To dispose of the god-fearing man
[Verse 8]
The wind sings its sweet lullaby through a blackened and hollowed ribcage
I'm to die in battle divine with the flames as my grave
[Verse 9]
This realm of inhuman carnage where the blood eternally rains
To my brothers who've fallen before me, I will walk with you again
