children of war

Grind your teeth lets go to war.
we're machine guns, we're children of war.
we traded bombs for hands that give praise to the lord.
hard and unbreakable like a masters rod.
about to break the weak and strengthen the strong.
we're the children of war.
out of a life vest womb we were born.
bulletproof love, we stand brave and tall.
titanium minds we will never fall.
we're built for war, what do you think this fists are for?
we ain't angels, we ain't saints.
we're the children of war.
land mine ears we can't ignore our call.
when the sirens screams.
the light turns red and the tolling bell rings.
we care not what tomorrow brings.
we open our mouths and the fat lady sings.
victory is what war promises.
with our sniper eyes,
we see beyond their lies,
we shoot through their lives.
freedom is for those who take it, we know that with our hearts.
we ain't angels, we ain't saints.
we were born and bred for this'
we were made and equipped for this.
we're the children of no god.
we're the children of war.
