War Is All We Know

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They came from the sun From the east, from the west all around So fate's die is cast They marshaled their forces and found us at last So it's come to this The child is the destroyer The young god comes to slay War! Son kill the father For blackness is all that I crave Shells explode across my hide Take me, death, I am your slave For I don't have a soul (soul, soul...) And I don't have a heart (heart, heart...) Come then and face me But first you must suffer my wrath [Chorus] Hatred of all things alive War is all we know [Verse 2] They say war is a last resort For me, it's the only way I have tried reading their poetry It suits me better to slay All that I touch seems to break in my hands Then it just bursts into flames The piteous pleadings as innocents die Only an odor remains So burn the bitter butter Prepare the murder machines Bring me my scabbard, my halberd, my hauberk Fetch me my enchanted greaves My walls, they are melting The drugs, they aren't helping Is it time for the old gods to die? "To arms!", the only cry [Chorus] Hatred of all things alive War is all we know The humans must feast on their gods We know it fucking blows Yeahhh! [Bridge] Hatred is a seed that's easy to sow Buckets of blood will help it to grow And raised on high, the fetid throne Death is fate's master He sits All alone... (All alone, all alone, all alone) All alone, all alone All alone, all alone, all alone, all ahh... They say war is all we know Haha, if only that were true No matter how I work my schedule There's always other things that I do But excuse me now, there's a tank at the door And that slave's head just rolled 'cross the floor He tries to say something and that something is puke Right about then the pigs set off a nuke [Solo] War is all we know Ah! Hatred... [Verse 3] When I said I loved war, I lied It fucking sucks on the losing side! And speaking of which, my face is on fire A lightning withdraw, we quickly retire A flurry of carnage, my brain pan is nicked To my unending shame, my ass just got kicked And as the shells fall in a relentless hail The fortress was gutted and we had to bail [Chorus] Hatred of all things alive War is all we know The humans must feast on their gods We know it fucking blows Hatred of all things alive War is all we know The humans must feast on their gods War is all... War is all... War is all we know
