Mortar Fire Lyrics


1456

The siege of Constantinople

Where Mehmed the conqueror

Unearths his terror machine

Delivering Death

From a distance

No one escapes the blast

Bunker buster

In a cluster

A weapon from the past

Muzzle loaded

Death device

Targets the ground below

Raining down

Artillery

Colossal hammer of war

Built to murder

Built to slaughter

Built to bring chaos and scatter the flock

Built to ruin

Built to ravage

Built to end battles – Abolish the lot

Mortar Fire

Bodies are draped over barbed wire

Trenches begin to fill with blood

Fallen are trampled in the mud

Mortar Fire

Corpses form a human pyre

Exploding limbs fly through the air

Troops are trembling with fear

1464

The Dardenelles gun is invented

Bronze cast decimator

Ottoman cannon of doom

Delivering Death

From a distance

No one escapes the blast

Bunker buster

In a cluster

A weapon from the past

Muzzle loaded

Death device

Targets the ground below

Raining down

Artillery

Colossal hammer of war

Built to murder

Built to slaughter

Built to bring chaos and scatter the flock

Built to ruin

Built to ravage

Built to end battles – Abolish the lot

Mortar Fire

Bodies are draped over barbed wire

Trenches begin to fill with blood

Fallen are trampled in the mud

Mortar Fire

Corpses form a human pyre

Exploding limbs fly through the air

Troops are trembling with fear

Indirect fire

Bringing casualty

Everyday

Hellish wounds caused

Unpredictable

Shrapnel spray

No man is spared

By this heinous device

Cities turn to ash

Crumbling enemy

Boundaries

More countries build

These bazookas of

Brutality

Allies turn against one another

Inexplicably

Cratered earth

Scarred from the

Wrath of Mankind

Mortar Fire

Bodies are draped over barbed wire

Trenches begin to fill with blood

Fallen are trampled in the mud

Mortar Fire

Corpses form a human pyre

Exploding limbs fly through the air

Troops are trembling with fear
