Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Tank treads rumble through the moonless black A village unaware Awakened by the sting of a bayonet Across a bared throat Sow the fields with quicklime And shattered bones They fire at will, they fire at will Pyres roar in the darkness To still the cries They fire at will, they fire at will Gloved fists and razor wire Penning the survivors Like starving cattle The sick and dying collapse into the filth Their eyes are hollow An orderly line Moths marching single-file to the flame Cower and obey And be allowed to crawl another day Broken hands turned to bleeding spades Digging trenches across the gun sights The patient soil awaits unslakable It thirsts, without judgement The earth starts to shake A paralytic fear The stories were true Peace and sunlight A thing of the past Shallow trenches filled in We fall to genocide We fall to genocide Flesh, blood, and irrationality It makes no difference Pull the trigger I'll be seeing you soon Falling into a suffocating void The smoking pits The shallow graves Black with flies Ash rains upon the earth The jutting ribs The sobbing ones Staring naked at a concrete sky The question remains Unanswered, unjustified The depths of inhumanity When victory has a hundred fathers Genocide's an orphan Who gave the order or who just followed Makes no difference to the slain Sow the fields with quicklime And shattered bones They fire at will, they fire at will Pyres roar in the darkness To still the cries They fire at will, they fire at will
