war


When the world dies

From all the lies

When blood fills the skies

When corruption flies

And everyone cries

Destruction is nigh

You’d better stay sly

You’d better learn to fly

For you’ll cry

When you see

You’ll never be free

You’ll flee

You’ll be scared

For life

Cut like a knife

Taking the death strife

Bloody feet

Missing your fleet

This is war kid

Better find the lid

Take the pill

Get your fill

It’ll  never heal

You’ll only kill

War is hell

In the belly of the beast

Getting no feast

Returning home

To find only foam

Nothing left but a comb

They’re gone

Not even the phone

They left

They forgot

You got shot

Needing something hot
