lyrics

The fire rages on,
Swallowing the world,
Bringing all of history underground,
Let it drown.

Chaotic bloodshed,
Lights our candlewick!
Clocks in conflict,
Obscuring the moment that we fell so,

Tell me what are you still fighting for?
Is it purpose? Is it service?
Tell me what is left but horror and violence?
Is this pretense or just feeble madness?
I'll get around to killing the flock!
And I won't back down!

Empty minded
wandering through life,
Deafened, blinded,
wondering if I could get through this night

Tell me what are you still fighting for?
Is it purpose? Is it service?
Tell me what is left but horror and violence?
Is this pretense or just feeble madness?
I'll get around to killing the flock!
I'll get around to firing my shot!
And I won't back down!

An armistice of any happenstance
of which the unconcerned are seeking
And yes! This is the circumstance!
The elevated reaping!

And that's just the start of the wickedness!

Just give up and let the aggression unfold!

Tell me what are you still fighting for?
Is it purpose? Tell me if it's service?
What are you still fighting for?
I'll get around to killing the flock!
I'll get around to firing my shot!
I'll get around to cutting them down!
I'll burn them, I'll kill them,
I won't back down!
