Wall of Death

FABLES OF THE ETERNAL WATCHER

Over kingdoms and across the seas
Side by side in bloody conflict
Struggling to become gods of death

Marching forth on crimson battlefields
Their blunted swords and dented shields
Set forth, killing �til there�s nothing left

Faithfully for a cause
They know not,giving pause
For one brief moment
Long enough for children
To vent laments

The nature of man is to destroy
Unjustly deal out swift verdicts
Into layers of death, they enfold

Atom bombs wielded like hands of god
Laying waste to towering states
It is your fate in scorched earth blood

Upon this altar of broken bone
I listen, nightly, to wailing songs
The blasted lands with technology
Has brought the human race to their knees
Bastard children in burning ditches
Are sucking dry like engorged leeches
A blood drenched legacy on the walls
Slaughtering �til nothing left at all

Segregated and separated
Branded with a string of numbers
To be driven and terminated

Then they sweep the earth with cleansing flame
With the fires of damnation
Welcome to age without a name

Blinded by violence
Not seen in ages since
A great wall of death
Choking on bitter ash
Too thick for breath

A power was born when their gods died
When prayers fade on broken lips
And thus was the downfall of mankind

Faithless, graceless before a blind god
Written and made from stolen fables
A world warped in the heart of a fraud

Upon this altar of broken bone
I listen, nightly, to wailing songs
The blasted lands with technology
Has brought the human race to their knees
Bastard children in burning ditches
Are sucking dry like engorged leeches
A blood drenched legacy on the walls
Slaughtering �til nothing left at all
