Face of War Lyrics


Face of War

He is the face of war, a frozen mask

A picture of the truth and of the pain

His only appetite revenge, slaked by agony

Enduring over all he will remain

This is your last mistake

Heartbroken effigy we ridicule

Yet to this form of error we abide

Our love of conflict makes the rules, we teach the lie in school

We cheer for blood when men collide

This is your last mistake

And now it's

time to die

Chorus:

What is left of our minds

The sins may be resolved but still the shackles bind

Memories of an age

Written into us instead of on a page

We are the face of war, this sorry mask

A picture of the truth and of the shame

Our only appetite revenge, slaked by agony

Enduring over all we will remain

This is your last mistake

And now it's time to die

Chorus:

What is left of our minds

The sins may be resolved but still the shackles bind

Memories of an age

Written into us instead of on a page

Watch yourself

Who do you follow?

That noose seems comfortable on you

A tasty pill and so you swallow

Leaving all the bitter inside you, inside you

Chorus:

What is left of our minds

The sins may be resolved but still the shackles bind

Memories of an age

Written into us instead of on a page
