Empires of power and wealth
Expanding their boundaries
A phalanx of greed and ambition
Conquering the weaker of nations
War is their key to expansion
Millions of innocent die
Swords are swung and arrows fly
Weapons of stone and steel
Swinging like pendulums
Killing men with each pass
Time will tell what we'll become
The bloody star high in the night sky
A symbol of man's need to fight
Fear and terror revolve around the crimson source of light
Fear and terror revolve around the bloody orb of war
Through the centuries
Man learns more efficient ways to kill
He's better at destroying
Entire cities at will
Through technology
man can now annihilate everything on earth
A grenade in the hands of a child
That's been violent since birth
