THIS IS WAR

Tell me what you fighting for? Tell me what inside you struck a chord

Had to tell them THIS IS WAR

This ain't something you ignore, we gone get to kicking down your door

Let them know that THIS IS WAR

Look at all the bodies and the gore, look at all the violence that we caused

Can't believe that THIS IS WAR

There ain't no more time for us to mourn, cause we gone be fighting 'till the morn

Just accept THIS IS

Reality, life full of pain, anguish and tragedy

Strategy, only way we surviving a casualty

Had to do unspeakable actions to keep my sanity

Everything inhumane in the name of saving humanity

Devil is what they branded me, only based on my ancestry

They ain't ever encounter me, judging my personality

Acting like they know how I be, where'd they get the audacity

I might get on my Erwin and lead the charge single-handedly

To fight, don't know if it's wrong or if it's right

All I know is I'm gone make it through the night

Let them know that it's on sight, if war is they want then they can try it

But I hope they don't think I'm a go in silence

With the survey corps, sliding out to go preserve these walls

I'll lead the line until Paradis falls

The people need us more and best believe my team done heard these calls

So now we gassed on ODM, I hope we make it to the end but

THIS IS WAR

Tell me what you fighting for? Tell me what inside you struck a chord

Had to tell them THIS IS WAR

This ain't something you ignore, we gone get to kicking down your door

Let them know that THIS IS WAR

Look at all the bodies and the gore, look at all the violence that we caused

Can't believe that THIS IS WAR

There ain't no more time for us to mourn, cause we gone be fighting 'till the morn

Just accept THIS IS

Chaos, destruction

When man is made into monsters

Would you give life and your last for the name of nations above you

Try to hide a violent past, politicians claim that they love you

When marching men into the furnace saying - flames will not touch you

So flagrant when obfuscating the truth from the masses

Manipulating the population to make them more passive

I've been too patient when faced with facts that we're actually captive

If they're gone label me the devil, I'm gone actually act it

Sick of inaction, I'll be the savage they want in the fight

Cause in reality the only other option is die

And I will not be resigned when an operation has got me in sight

I'll use these broken bloody fingers and hold on for my life

There's no glory when every soldier is battered and raw

Every battle's an obituary, fought in the morgue

How'd you walk among the brave with every ligament torn

Write your name by the ruddy ink of the sword, this is war
