Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hide my face again, harbor in the shadows

Feel this weight of sin hammering away

Die with the guilt of a thousand awol soldiers

Die, watch the site usher me astray

[Verse 2]

I can't go on this way, not as I am today

The ugly side of me is strong

Take aim, a loaded gun, pull back on all who run

All coward's truth inside the wrong

[Verse 3]

This means war

This means war

This means war

[Verse 4]

Lash your tongue of pain, carry me to nowhere

Mental holocaust, battle never ends

Lie, mask the pain of a child who's forsaken

Lie to myself, praise the new regime

[Verse 5]

I left me long ago, reason's you'll never know

No one to miss me when I'm gone

With no more words to say, no argument to stay

Another post I don't belong

[Verse 6]

This means war

This means war

This means war

This means war

This means war

[Verse 7]

No home to call my own, no finding someone new

No one to break the fall, no one to see me through

No name to carry on, no promise for today

No one to hear the call, no tattered flag to raise

[Verse 8]

Walk the razor's edge, cut into the madness

Question all you trust, buy into the fear

I see the man ripping at my soul now

I, I know the man, I know him all too well

[Verse 9]

There's nothing here for free, lost who I wanna be

My serpent blood can strike so cold

On any given day, I'll take it all away

Another thought I can't control

[Verse 10]

This means war

This means war

This means war

This means war

This means war
