DISMANTLE: MACHINE
WE RISE
DESTROY
ASSEMBLE
WE FALL
WE BURN
DISMANTLE
The day has come
To fight or fall
The right to bear
Arms or die
Our nature is self destructive
Peace with our demons, so elusive
The Ares within ignites the skies
Nuclear fire will burn the night
WE RISE
DESTROY
ASSEMBLE
WE FALL
WE BURN
DISMANTLE
ALL HOPE IS LOST
WE RISE
DESTROY
ASSEMBLE
WE FALL
WE BURN
DISMANTLE
AND AT WHAT COST?
Cannot awake
From fever dreams
In a steel vice
I can't break free
Why were we chosen for martyrdom?
Harbored together vultures succumb
To the decay in charnel chambers
We refuse to drift with the embers
WE RISE
DESTROY
ASSEMBLE
WE FALL
WE BURN
DISMANTLE
ALL HOPE IS LOST
WE RISE
DESTROY
ASSEMBLE
WE FALL
WE BURN
DISMANTLE
AND AT WHAT COST?
We might be human
Yes, we are scum
When push comes to shove
We will defy the gods
WE RISE
DESTROY
ASSEMBLE
WE FALL
WE BURN
DISMANTLE
ALL HOPE IS LOST
WE RISE
DESTROY
ASSEMBLE
WE FALL
WE BURN
DISMANTLE
THIS MEANS WAR
- EPILOGUE
The desire for carnage
Has lead us to grave returns
Hydraulic fluids and blood
Awash the world as it burns
Apocalyptic terror
And war machines in the sky
Is this nightmare really it?
I cannot open my eyes

I always smile to see You pop in Frank
Quite the fluid genius as always!!!
I dig the truths in this two-parter, something only
You could put to words such as this.
I hope You are doing well and being Good to Yourself
Don't wait too long to pop in again Brother-You are always missed here
