lyrics

Love is the key for you to rise
Time is ticking telling you lies
Five times I've felt this living
Conscious of nothing but the

World around us burning
Pray to the god of nothing
You will offer my head on a plate
War machine let me go

There is no other time in history
Where we burn

Under this charade hides a cruel oath
Are we born as slaves or are we just whores
Five times I've felt this living
Conscious of nothing but the

World around us burning
Pray to the god of nothing
You will offer my head on a plate
War machine let me go

There is no other time in history
Where we burn ourselves to the ground
Is this some kind of suicide

War for the love of money
Pray to the god of nothing
You offer my head on a plate
War machine.
