Remnants of Battle
Sentenced to a life in agony Every day a gruesome test of strength No hope for rest or peace No rest or peace Vicious conflict - omnipresent violence Every day a gruesome test of strength Constant battle for survival Perpetual war machinery No objective - purpose long forgotten Self fulfilling prophecy An endless march Endless march Bury with each setting sun All hope for remorse and peace

From all corners of the world Toxic fumes arise A piercing sound of hammers And grinding in the night Fateful Innovations The cradle of mankind Product of intelligence Twisted into self-demise Ideology of progress Will ever justify the means Gears turning without cease Subordinating every part of society Technocratic nightmares Cruel irony Endless potential For production of misery Futuristic nightmares Cruel irony Industrial potential Wasted on mass weaponry Atavistic hatred the only opposition No alternative imposed To the dystopic vision Abstracted from all evolution Defilement of this earth the resolution Perfected tools of total destruction In all corners of the world A hellish war is now unleashed The pillars of mankind Crumble under impact of artillery A new form of combat Surpassing all that came before In brutality and violence Shakes this mortal realm to its core Machinery now commands The violent rhythm of war Man rendered a servant In submission to fire and steel

Sent away to fight and die In cold fields where terror reigns For promises unkept And ephemeral domains Scattered remains Sorrow echoes through this realm Deceitful tales of honour Leading millions to their graves With the final breath they took They all came to realise There is nothing but cold soil And emptiness beyond this life Scattered remains Sorrow echoes through this realm Domination conquest The curse laid on this world Consuming souls mercilessly All distinction blurred Rituals of horror Repeating every day The essence of humanity Rotting and cast away Embedded in cold soil And burning hearts alike The memory will conquer Solace long denied Scattered remains Sorrow echoes through this life A multitude of ages And battles fought brave Rotting away under our feet In unmarked graves Countless faces now forgotten Of those who met their fate Rotting away under our feet In unmarked graves

Iron will, primal force, severe persistence A savage blow on foes To raise faith in resistance Determined acts Maneuvers rehearsed to exhaustion The last desperate push Performed without hesitation Orders long awaited Gather all remaining strength A call for glory Or final defeat Asymmetric warfare The only hope for victory Forces ever so uneven Iron guerilla fighting violent oppression Find forgotten virtue On the brink of defeat A rebirth of power While lying beaten at their feet Orders long awaited Gather all remaining strength A desperate call for glory At the risk of final defeat Faceless, nameless fighters Vigilant eyes piercing through the dark Like the first light of a new daw Hope rising in the far Orders long awaited Gather all remaining strength A desperate call for glory Embracing defeat

Negotiations futile, The end of all compromise Sons of an age of violence Merciless advance Face to face with the enemy in reach Hostile contact made - combat unfolds Show no hesitation, no second thought must rise Predatory instinct, clinging on to life Face the begging eyes, witness the fading light Grim acceptance, realise the time has come Exerting primal force, knife buried in the skull Emerge victorious once more Escape your dreadful end for now Reflections in begging eyes Witness the fading light Grim acceptance Realise the time has come Behind stern faces And eyes filled with pride Trembling souls forever traumatised Hidden behind stern faces And eyes filled with pride Gruesome recognition Of the transience of life

Display with pride the uniform That sons and brothers before have worn Bearing resilient stains of blood By the few survivors collected from the mud Sewn to fit another wave of fearless men Who sacrifice their lifes for a victorious end Industrial machines sewing without rest Their beats hammering like shellfire in the head Chemical solutions scrubbing off the filth But nothing will remove the stench of death Symbolistic pride The virtue of ignorance in life Symbolistic pride In spite of those who die All the suffering and pain All the scars that will remain Hidden under sacred cloth When all have lost Of return no guarantee mortal fear hides under brave naivety Of return no guarantee A piece of sacred cloth soaked in mortal tears

Trenches dug deep No end of war in sight Frontlines locked in place Clandestine tactics applied Contact lost Instructions memorised Acting quickly Hesitation penalised Secret mission Regain the upper hand Through elimination Disrupting the chain of command Isolated - detached from all support Penetrating - enemies defense Single hope - uncertainty immense Infiltration - another chance for the outcast Amnesty rewarded - cleanse yourself from the past Hidden by distraction Unnoticed by prying eyes Fateful hour Advancing through the night Isolated - detached from all support Penetrating - enemies defence Single Hope - gravity immense Infiltration – perilous task Amnesty – the reward for the outcast If you return successful from your task Prepared to risk your life – success is all that counts Singularity – to this moment all amounts Despite the racing heart A steady hand is kept Muffled screams in the dark No witness left Silent killing No suspicion raised Target in sight Eliminate and leave without a trace

Excruciating war strategy Only horrors left to tell Bereft of all sanity Ceaseless bombardment Emitting shell by shell Remnants of battle Images unforgettable Impacts cannot be predicted Survival determined by sheer luck Caught in artillery crossfire Dissociating from your life Remnants of battle Images unforgettable Suffering thousandfold Memorial of pointless sacrifice Find no comfort triumph After living through what this world has seen for centuries Find no absolution In the victory achieved For the weight of sacrifice Of every taken life Will never justify Will remain the scorn of mankind No absolution No tranquillity
