On This Battlefield

They blame the pain on the arms race
 That bled the globe for four years straight
 They went to war but the war changed
 This was The Great War as they say
 So let's play propelled plans and flame throwers
 Obtain the trains, tanks it ain't over
 Ordain the campaign for take over
 Maintain your flanks or it's game over
 Unchain the sword play and slay soldiers
 We purvey their doomsday and reign over
 A stray grenade breaks your face and sprays in your brain gateway to a hangover
 Trenches sculpted leave a torment that will never heal
 Lead them bolted down for slaughter on conveyor wheels
 Every country's sons and daughters know how cattle feel
 Even winners lose themselves on this battlefield
 (Ooh ooh)
 Legends born (born)
 Lives are torn (ooh ooh)
 When the world (world)
 Goes to war (ooh ooh)
 Populations set to wane
 Nations decay as their flags wave
 No sun today, smoke from Zeppelins
 Make black holes of skies gentlemen jettisoned
 Sometimes I feel like the dirt walls are closing in again
 The lines of sight have not been kind to many fallen men
 The smells of chemicals breeds devils in my abdomen
 Pretend like this is not the end
 My hope becomes my medicine
 I jump sending my bones
 To hurdle a stone's throw
 Up over this cold earth
 Choke and then go prone
 I'm met with a flame blazing holes in the ozone
 Just like that my only moment of courage is postponed
 But I'm pushing forward
 The hell with this bell toll
 Winning this thing's my only key from this hell hole
 The way out's a long road paved solely in dead foes
 It's their souls or mine and I'm gonna get home
 Legends born (born)
 Lives are torn (ooh ooh)
 When the world (world)
 Goes to war (ooh ooh)
 Tensions tear tendons through despair
 Heroes born and bred on this battlefield.
 Stand at attention and prepare
 To march to your death on this battlefield
 Melee a brave man parade
 Blunt force maces cave on this battlefield
 Sending them all to the grave
 So we can walk away from this battlefield
 Legends born (born)
 Lives are torn (live are torn, lives are torn)
 When the world
 Goes to war (goes to war)
 Legends born (born)
 Lives are torn (ooh ooh)
 When the world (world)
 Goes to war (ooh ooh)
