Lyrics:
Theatre of War
Welcome to the show of all shows
Front row seats for the murder of crows
Draw the curtain, start the play!
The cast is ready, join the fray
Dead men walking, trumpets blare
Death rides by on his bony mare
Triumph is certain in the mind’s eye
Truth hides under limbs piled high
The machine
of war plows on
Neverending
it’s to far gone
Audience gasping, horrified screams
Tears running down in endless streams
Humanity’s lost, eclipsed by war
Apocalypse knocking on your front door
