Total War

Death marches on
Through the ashes
Of a thousand funeral pyres
The building stones of their empires
We choke on the embers of our shattered dreams
But we are stronger than what we seem

Watch the world burn in silence
Through the eyes of the deprived and fallen
We're just one more lie away from total war

Hurts to think
About the bloodshed
And the tears
How the anger builds up over the years
No silver lining colours upon our sky
Unless we stand up for what's right

Seething under the surface
We live to rise again

Once again
At our journey's end
A distant chime
Of confidence
An end to what was
Bloodstained cross
A chance to finally restore the loss

Reveries of a lifetime lost
They will never know the cost
We're just one more lie away from total war

Time to begin again
Watch it all burn down

A final collapse
Reality's detached
It's entropy's core
An all out war
You reap what you sow
It's time to tell
Friend from foe

Reveries to a lifetime lost
They will never know the cost
We're just one more lie away from total war
