  1. The Face Of War

From the recording Chronicles of a Collapse

Share

Lyrics

Empty eyes of windows stare
From the wreckage of the walls
Dust is hanging in the air
Birds are nesting in the halls
Toys are scattered on the ground
Inbetween the faint footprints
Rusted swing - the only sound
Where the voices had once been

Murdered cities, dead towns and butchered streets
Ghosts groan in the ground beneath your feet
Take our forests and fields, everything that's ours
Take our freedom of will, since you have the power
You do not calculate the price we pay for you to have your prize
One by one the tears drop in the sea of salt
The clock ticks on
The world is blind
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war

The explosions have mingled
Bits of cattle, men and dogs
Punctured roofs without shingles
Echoes of the screams and sobs
Beady eyes of crows peer
The dead eyes are open wide
And above it all - the fear
Tangible, as if alive

Murdered cities, dead towns and butchered streets
Ghosts groan in the ground beneath your feet
Take our homes, take our land, you have the control
Take our souls, take the sand. You can have it all
You do not calculate the price we pay for you to have your prize
One by one the tears drop in the sea of salt
The clock ticks on
The world is blind
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war

Murdered cities, dead towns and butchered streets
Ghosts groan in the ground beneath your feet
Take our forests and fields, everything that's ours
Take our freedom of will, since you have the power
You do not calculate the price we pay for you to have your prize
One by one the tears drop in the sea of salt
The clock ticks on.
The world is blind.
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
This is the face of war
