"The War Machine"

The war machine has no soul
The evil desire to rule and control
Blood-stained hands behind closed doors
Sending our young to fight their wars

It profits from calamity and despair
The foul smell of death in the air
Endless blood spilled as the elites pretend to care

It preaches freedom and democracy
But all it wants is power
As Godless politicians sit in their ivory towers

It wages endless wars fueled by hate
A soulless machine controlling humanity's fate

Driven by fear
And paid by the kill
To kill… Or to be killed
Only evil prevails

Those who survive are damaged beyond repair
Who will save them from their despair?
Only compassion will end this pointless warfare
