Waged
March through night, we fight, we slay,
Steel meets flesh in a merciless way.
The drums of war, they echo and swell,
In the depths of chaos, we’re trapped in this hell.
Smoke chokes the air, a funeral mist,
The cries of the fallen, they cannot resist.
A reason for hope, a reason for hate,
With blood on the ground, we carve out our fate.
Waged! The price of the souls we’ve betrayed,
Waged! In a storm where the innocence laid.
Waged! With the weight of the world on our back,
Waged! In the fire, we’re lost in the black.
Faces of terror, reflecting our sins,
Beneath the veneer, where the darkness begins.
The puppeteers laugh while the marionettes fall,
With whispers of glory, they answer the call.
A tempest of torment, the skies turn to ash,
In the name of revenge, we ignite the bloodbath.
Echoes of anguish in the hearts of the brave,
For every life taken, a soul in the grave.
Waged! The price of the souls we’ve betrayed,
Waged! In a storm where the innocence laid.
Waged! With the weight of the world on our back,
Waged! In the fire, we’re lost in the black.
Veins run with poison, the anger entwined,
We’re soldiers of sorrow, leaving reason behind.
The banners we raise are drenched in their tears,
Fueled by the fury, enshrined in our fears.
A dance on the edge, where angels collide,
In the silence of night, our demons will ride.
The price of this war, a toll on the soul,
A mirror reflecting the ashes we stole.
On the lips of the victors, the taste of the lie,
While the ghosts of the innocent mourn in the sky.
The hunger for power, the lust for the dead,
In the ruins of hope, the blood-soaked thread.
We strangle the light with a chokehold of fate,
In the shadows of madness, we wrestle with hate.
Waged! The price of the souls we’ve betrayed,
Waged! In a storm where the innocence laid.
Waged! With the weight of the world on our back,
Waged! In the fire, we’re lost in the black.
War waged on the hearts, a battle unseen,
The echoes of conflict, forever we scream.
In the aftermath's silence, our ghosts will parade,
Forever haunted by the war that we waged.
Weapon of Rage
There’s a beast that lives inside of me
Caged up tight but it still breaks free
Every breath like a flame in my chest
I’m a war that’s never at rest
Fists clenched, heart’s a grenade
Tension cut sharp like a blade
Eyes burning, I’m the edge of the storm
But I’ve learned how to keep it warm
I used to drown in the fire, out of control
But now I’ve carved it into my soul
I am the weapon, forged from the flames
Focused destruction, power untamed
I am the storm that no one can break
Harness my fury, make the ground shake
What once was chaos, now it’s my strength
Rage is my weapon, I’ll go to any length
It’s not the anger that you fear
It’s the silence when I hold it near
Like a knife waiting just behind a grin
You’ll never know how or when I’ll begin
It’s the heat of war but with steady aim
A controlled burn that knows no shame
I don’t explode, I evolve
Tearing through with a focused resolve
I used to be swallowed whole, out of control
But now I’ve made it my ultimate goal
I am the weapon, forged from the flames
Focused destruction, power untamed
I am the storm that no one can break
Harness my fury, make the ground shake
What once was chaos, now it’s my strength
Rage is my weapon, I’ll go to any length
Every scream, every tear I’ve held
I’m the fire that can’t be quelled
You’ll see me rise, not break or fall
My fury is the sharpest call
I am the weapon, born from the pain
Rage controlled is the greatest gain
I am the force you can’t contain
When fury’s your ally, nothing’s in vain
Dying Inside
The day was like any other, I was mending the clothes
When I heard a car pull up, outside our home
Two men in uniform, walked up to my door
Their faces were somber, their eyes to the floor
My world came crashing down, like a house of cards
When they told me he was gone, that he wouldn't be coming home
I held it together, put on a brave face
But inside I was dying, a shattered heart and a soul erased
We'd only been married a year, he was off to the war
I knew the risks, but I never imagined this door
I thought we had forever, but forever's come and gone
Now I'm left here alone, with a life that's wrong
My world came crashing down, like a house of cards
When they told me he was gone, that he wouldn't be coming home
I held it together, put on a brave face
But inside I was dying, a shattered heart and a soul erased
I'll keep going for our daughter, she needs her mom
I'll be strong for her, even though I'm falling apart
I know he'd want me to live, to love and to laugh
So I'll put one foot in front of the other, through this dark and lonely path
My world came crashing down, like a house of cards
When they told me he was gone, that he wouldn't be coming home
I held it together, put on a brave face
But inside I was dying, a shattered heart and a soul erased
I know he's watching over us, from up above
Guiding us through the pain, giving us the strength to love
And someday we'll be together again
Until then, I'll keep going, for our family's sake and then
Finding My Strength
In the heart of the war, where the blood runs cold
I find myself here, in this hell that I've been sold
Bullets raining down, death all around
I'm trapped in this nightmare, with no way to be found
But I won't back down, I won't give in
I'll rise up and fight, until I win
I'll take what's mine, I'll make them pay
For the lives that were lost, on this day
The screams of the fallen, they echo in my head
The smell of the burning, the stench of the dead
I'm fueled by my rage, I'm driven by my hate
I'll slaughter them all, I won't hesitate
I won't back down, I won't give in
I'll rise up and fight, until I win
I'll take what's mine, I'll make them pay
For the lives that were lost, on this day
I'll never surrender, I'll never yield
I'll fight to the death, I'll never kneel
I'll rise from the ashes, I'll take back what's mine
I'll make them all pay, for this crime
I won't back down, I won't give in
I'll rise up and fight, until I win
I'll take what's mine, I'll make them pay
For the lives that were lost, on that fucking day
In the heat of the battle, in the heart of the war
I'll find my strength, I'll rise up once more
I'll fight for the fallen, I'll fight for the right
I'll make them all pay, with all my might.
Strings of War
The strings were woven in darkest flame,
Twisting through the bones of ancient fame,
A thousand voices tangled in the wire,
Shredding through the silence, stoking the fire.
They were born of steel, forged in the roar,
Each note a weapon in the grip of war.
Screaming through the shadows, cutting deep,
A pulse in the chaos where the dead don't sleep.
(And the strings sing on...)
Whispering death in their vicious song,
Their tension snaps when the pull gets strong.
Strings of war, pluck the veins of the lost!
Tuned to the grind of the world’s final cost!
Every shred, every scream is a battle cry,
As the strings of war slice through the sky!
They were stretched from the minds of gods, undone,
Tied to the throats of the fallen ones.
Each pull of the finger echoes in blood,
As they sing of collapse, of fire and flood.
But it’s not the water nor flames that win,
It’s the metal, the strings, the razors within.
Pull too hard and you'll hear their snap,
Unleashing fury with no way back.
(And the strings scream loud...)
A sound so raw it tears through the night,
Every chord a fist in the fight.
Strings of war, pluck the veins of the lost!
Tuned to the grind of the world’s final cost!
Every shred, every scream is a battle cry,
As the strings of war slice through the sky!
They tighten, they fray, but they never break!
The more they’re played, the more they take!
They’ll strangle your soul in the steel of sound,
Until the weight of the war pulls you down!
Strings of war, pluck the veins of the lost!
Tuned to the grind of the world’s final cost!
Every shred, every scream is a battle cry,
As the strings of war slice through the sky!
The strings fade, but the echo remains,
A story of war etched in the chains.
In the rust and the dust, they whisper still,
Of the blood they drew, of the souls they kill.
Bombardment Squadron
I don't wanna kill nobody
but they keep tryin' to kill me!

Bombardment Squadron!
Bomb the bridges, bomb the towers!
Bomb the enemy, bomb my friends!
Bomb and kill until the end!
Hope Betrayed
I'm lying here, blood-soaked and cold
My body broken, my mind old
At just 19, I should be free
But this hell on earth, it's where I'll be
(All quiet on the Western Front,) they say
But I hear the screams, night and day
The stench of death, it never fades
War is hell, all hope betrayed
The rats they feast on the dead and the dying
Crawling over corpses, no one's crying
Bullets whizzing, bombs imploding
Limbless men, gurgling and choking
(All quiet on the Western Front,) they say
But I hear the screams, night and day
The stench of death, it never fades
War is hell, all hope betrayed
We were told to fight for our nation
To be brave and show no hesitation
But now I see the truth revealed
War is a lie, our blood spilled
(All quiet on the Western Front,) they say
But I hear the screams, night and day
The stench of death, it never fades
War is hell, all hope betrayed
I'm just a boy, with a gun in my hand
A pawn in their game, lost on this land
So here I'll stay, in this endless horror
(All quiet on the Western Front,) forevermore

True Peace
Burning in my soul, a fire so cold
Raging through my veins, I'm growing old
Haunted by my past, tormented in my mind
Seeking peace so hard, but it's always left behind
True release, true peace of mind
Gonna cut the ropes that bind
No more pain, no more to bear
Gonna lay my soul to rest, I swear
Tears of blood I've cried, demons in my head
Wounds that never heal, I'm finally dead
No more will to live, no more will to fight
Ending it all, gonna set myself right
True release, true peace of mind
Gonna cut the ropes that bind
No more pain, no more to bear
Gonna lay my soul to rest, I swear
In death I'll find my peace, eternal sleep
No more suffering, no more grief
My painful story ends, it's time to close the book
True release, true peace
True release, true peace of mind
Gonna cut the ropes that bind
No more pain, no more to bear
Gonna lay my fucking soul to rest, I swear
The Relent of the Relentless
In the depths of darkness, where hope resides,
A relentless force, unyielding and wise.
Stand tall, my brethren, heed my call,
We wage an eternal war, standing tall.
With clenched fists and burning rage, we fight,
Through blood and tears, we'll claim our right.
Against the odds, we'll stand defiant and proud,
Our will unyielding, our spirits unbowed.
Some may profit, while others fall,
But our resolve remains, unwavering through it all.
Our hearts heavy, our souls bear the weight,
Of battles fought and souls lost in fate.
Anger courses through our veins like a fire,
Fueling our strength, driving us higher.
We'll protect our own, no matter the cost,
For in unity, our souls shall be tossed.
The perpetual need to defend and protect,
A burden we bear, we'll never reject.
Through the darkest of nights, we'll forge our path,
With each step we take, we'll conquer their wrath.
With clenched fists and burning rage, we fight,
Through blood and tears, we'll claim our right.
Against the odds, we'll stand defiant and proud,
Our will unyielding, our spirits unbowed.
Our voices roar, our hearts ablaze,
We'll leave no stone unturned, no foe unamazed.
In total destruction, we'll find our release,
For our strength and our will shall bring them to their knees.
Desolation
The drums of war, they start to beat
A rhythm harsh, a chilling heat
The whispers grow, a rising tide
Of fear and hate, nowhere to hide
The flags unfurl, a savage stain
A brother's hand, now filled with pain
The fields of green, now turned to red
The living cry, the fallen dead
Oh, war, a cruel and bitter song
A symphony of pain, where hearts belong
To shattered dreams and broken vows
A wasteland born, where silence shrouds
The echoes still, of screams and cries
The innocence lost, beneath the skies
An endless fight, for what's unknown
A human cost, a seed is sown
The soldiers march, with weary tread
The weight of duty, in their head
They face the foe, with steely gaze
A desperate hope, in fading days
The bombs explode, a fiery dance
A shattered world, a broken chance
The children weep, the mothers wail
A story told, that will never fail
Oh, war, a cruel and bitter song
A symphony of pain, where hearts belong
To shattered dreams and broken vows
A wasteland born, where silence shrouds
The echoes still, of screams and cries
The innocence lost, beneath the skies
An endless fight, for what's unknown
A human cost, a seed is sown
Will peace ever find its way?
Through darkness deep, a brighter day?
Can we learn from scars we bear?
And mend the wounds, beyond repair?
Oh, war, a cruel and bitter song
A symphony of pain, where hearts belong
To shattered dreams and broken vows
A wasteland born, where silence shrouds
The echoes still, of screams and cries
The innocence lost, beneath the skies
An endless fight, for what's unknown
A human cost, a seed is sown
The war it ends, but memories remain
A haunting echo, through sun and rain
A silent plea, for peace to rise
Above the ashes, towards the skies.
Too Funky to Die
Yo, you're too fresh to leave this place
Too fly to rest on your grace
Too slick to let life pass you by
Too dope to ever say goodbye
Too funky to die, too funky to live
Too funky to buy, too funky to give
Too funky to die, too funky to live
Too funky
You're stuck in this cycle, day by day
Trapped in the barracks, trying to find your way
But you're too sharp to blend with the crew
Too smart to fall for the rules they spew
Too funky to die, too funky to live
Too funky to buy, too funky to give
Too funky to die, too funky to live
Too funky
They try to break you, mold you to their will
But you won't conform, you're unbreakable still
Your spirit's too strong, it just won't fade
You're too funky to live, but you won't lie in a grave
Too funky to die, too funky to live
Too funky to stay, too funky to leave
You're in the grind, you're in the fight
You're too funky to give up
Fuck
Lacerated soul, splintered bone
Agony sears, a wound grown cold
Skin sliced open, flesh laid bare
Pain stings like thorns everywhere
Fuck! Burning, tearing, ripping -
Fuck! Through skin, sinew, muscle -
Fuck! Draw blood, I'm screaming
Fuck! As I strike and hustle
Battered and scarred, my body a wreck
Mangled and mauled, bones crunch and crack
Beaten and bruised, my frame a ruin
Thrashed and slammed to a pulp, ruined
Fuck! Burning, tearing, ripping -
Fuck! Through skin, sinew, muscle -
Fuck! Draw blood, I'm screaming
Fuck! As I strike and hustle
Mangled, mangled, smashed to bits
Pulverized, lost my grip, feels sick
Son of a, god damned, Mother, FUCK!
Bruised and sore, my body slouched
Fuck! Burning, tearing, ripping -
Fuck! Through skin, sinew, muscle -
Fuck! Draw blood, I'm screaming
Fuck! As I strike and hustle
Riders
In the shadows of the twilight, the skies bleed red,
Inferno skies ignite the night, where angels fear to tread,
Hordes arise from the ashes, judgment day is nigh,
The thunder roars, the earth it shakes, as we prepare to die. (die)
Riders of the end, bringing chaos in their wake,
With a grip of steel and a heart of fate,
Fire rains down, hell unleashed,
Face ripping terror, the last feast.
Four horsemen gallop through the smoke and despair,
Conquest, War, Famine, Death, a nightmare laid bare,
Screams echo in the distance, drowning in the flames, (flames)
As the world is torn asunder, we're lost in the games.
Riders of the end, bringing chaos in their wake,
With a grip of steel and a heart of fate,
Fire rains down, hell unleashed,
Face ripping terror, the last feast.
Underneath the burning sky, hope has long since fled,
Cinders fall like raindrops on the graves of the dead, (dead)
The earth becomes a wasteland, a grave of our dread,
No salvation in the darkness, just the path that we tread.
Cities crumble, shadows shuffle, time slips through our hands,
The final curtain draws as we stand in cursed lands,
With every step, the end draws near, there's no escape in sight,
Embrace the wrath, the firestorm, we’ll burn until the night.
Riders of the end, bringing chaos in their wake,
With a grip of steel and a heart of fate,
Fire rains down, hell unleashed,
Face ripping terror, the last feast.
So we ride into the darkness, swords raised high in hate,
Together bound in judgment, we’ll seal our twisted fate,
The apocalypse is here, it’s more than just a dream,
In the grip of the horsemen, we fade into the scream. (scream)
Riders of the end...
Face ripping terror...
Hell on earth...
The last feast...
Chain of Command
In the trenches, we're the ones who bleed
Flesh and blood, the price we pay to feed
The war machine, a monster we can't tame
While the masters sit, in comfort, with no shame
Why do the weak give orders, while the strong obey?
A chain of command, where the brave are led astray
Generals and kings, with hearts of stone
While we, the soldiers, fight and die alone
They speak of honor, of duty and of might
But when the battle rages, they're nowhere in sight
Their words are hollow, their hearts are cold
As we face the enemy, our lives to be told
Why do the weak give orders, while the strong obey?
A chain of command, where the brave are led astray
Generals and kings, with hearts of stone
While we, the soldiers, fight and die alone
We're the ones who face the fire and the pain
Our bodies broken, our minds in vain
But still we rise, to fight another day
While they, in safety, give the orders, far away
Why do the weak give orders, while the strong obey?
A chain of command, where the brave are led astray
Generals and kings, with hearts of stone
While we, the soldiers, fight and die alone
In this twisted game, we're just the pawns
Sacrificed for power, our lives mereawns
But we won't be silenced, our voices will be heard
A rebellion brews, as the strong take their word.
The Strength In the heart of the city, bare and raw, When the masks come off, what are we now? Peeling back the layers, one by one, Seeking the truth of where we've come. The power, the money, the pride and the fame, All the distractions, washed away in shame. Beneath the surface, where nothing is hidden, Lies the truth, brutally written. Violence is what’s left, when society’s stripped, A primal scream, in the darkest night. Tears of the world, we've built with our hands, Is this reflection, what we truly demand? The echo of whispers, in the still of the night, What remains when all else takes flight? The theater of life, reduced to bare bones, What's left when all the social clothes are gone? A mirror, so honest, reflecting the core, A stark reminder of what we ignore. A glimpse into the abyss, a savage dance, A world stripped bare, an unnerving chance. Violence is what’s left, when society’s peeled, A haunting melody, by the broken played. The heart of humanity, laid bare to see, Is this brutality, all that we’ll be? But in the chaos, a spark of hope, The chance to rebuild, a new scope. To rise above, the base and primal, To paint a future, forgivably rational. Not just violence, but a chance for change, When society is peeled, and rearranged. A call to humanity, to look deep inside, To find the strength, to not just survive, but to thrive. In the heart of the city, bare and raw, We find the truth, and the strength to grow. Beyond the violence, beyond the fear, Rights to freedom, for a world we hold dear.
All That’s Left
Darkness falls, shadows crawl
The weight of time, it's all that's left for me
I lay here still, alone and cold
Counting down, my life story's old
Waiting to die, wasting away
A hollow soul, no light of day
Breathing slow, heartbeat fades
As my final hours, slowly give way
No one's left, to hold my hand
An empty room, in a foreign land
The silence screams, as my life fades
Into the night, where my death awaits
Waiting to die, wasting away
A hollow soul, no light of day
Breathing slow, heartbeat fades
As my final hours, slowly give way
Regrets and pain, my life's refrain
I'm left with nothing, but this mortal stain
The bitter end, of my days of sin
As death draws near, I close my eyes within
Waiting to die, wasting away
A hollow soul, no light of day
Breathing slow, heartbeat fades
As my final hours, slowly give way
Darkness falls, shadows crawl
The weight of time, it's all that's left for me
I lay here still, alone and cold
Counting down, my life story's old
