Acidic Flash

Inside all war there lies conspiracy
There's nothing to believe but lies
Raging fires on the innocent
While the dead watch from the skies

They take the blind man to the killing field
To play in someone else's game
Let the lesser lands be torn apart
And bring them here to bear the shame

Acidic Flash
Burns my eyes
Acidic Flash
Buried Alive

Severed spirits hanging in the wind
Tear the truth apart from lies
A sordid effigy of past mistakes
Their heroism lost in time

They send the blind men to the killing field
To dance in someone else's grave
Let the lesser lands be torn apart
And bring them here to be our slaves

A soldier's dying words
Painful is to breathe
The call for bravery
Was shot down with his life
The mother's flesh and blood
A witness to it all
Nothing left to see
Was better off to die
