about

This track is a lyrical collaboration between Simon and Justin. It’s another tale of bloodshed and battle, but this time taking place in modern times. The song is essentially about terrorist groups and the difficulty faced in attempting to eradicate them. This is one of the first songs written by the band, somewhere in early 2017.

lyrics

Lyrics: McKittrick, Marfleet
Music: Kamburov

The battle has been lost, now the plague sets in
Beliefs with sword in hand, cutting through your neck
Wait for death to come, free them from this pain
Crushed skulls in hands of blood, invoking blood and sand

An apocalyptic vision
Fueled by inhumanity
Any action taken
Only spreads their plague

The will to fight consumes, hatred leads the way
Revenge, dissect the snake, death that can't be tamed
Mass the weak and blind, under flag of scorn
Crushed skulls in hands of blood, invoking blood and sand

Many heads to the hydra
Poison the minds of man
Any action taken
Validated their cause

One by one they fall, ghosts of history
Reapers of the flesh, burning through your veins
Battle has been fought for ages
The dead amassed in numbers
Evil minds, brainwashed soldiers
Blood and sand
The command
