lyrics

Concrete Trenches

The asylum drained into the streets.
Without a cure or diagnosis.
Bags of flesh married to the concrete.
To be roadkill for a crow's feast.

Infected, rejected.
Breathe-in the waiting room of Potter's field
Neglected, defective.
Causalities of a coward's deal

Warlords giveth and then taketh away.
Purpose until purpose is strayed.
Are we staring into the eyes of madness?
Or is madness in the minds of the forgotten?

War torn beggars
Forward now and forever
Retreat; Repeat
The nation's art of defeat.

Can this mistreatment even come to a conclusion?
Content with vagrants and mirrors
instead of disillusion.
Erase all the memories of suffering.
Until the consequence comes for us all.

Erase all the memories of the suffering until it comes for us all

The war drums echo
Without relief from red psychosis.
Bags of heads
Filled with holes and last screams.
Endless trenches.
Married to the concrete.
Now and forever

We are the pawns
The long forgotten echos
Infected by the sickness plaguing man for centuries
We are the casualties
The war Lord's cattle
Tie that noose and fold the flag
White flag white flag
Lower me down

Prisoners of concrete Trenches
