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
 You've made 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
 You've made your last mistake
 And now it's
 time to die
 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
 We've made our last mistake
 And now it's time to die
 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
 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
