The world is pushed over the edge
An assassination realized by a blackened hand
A secret lust for foreign land
Kinetic force is justified by an unmet demand
Defiance
All hail the end of all reason
Dark days reign now
Naïve you’ve run out of season
Folded hands open to collect their guns
And you were the ones
Said goodbye, you lived for these front lines
Fathers and sons
Your broken bodies forever lie in these fields
The powers fall in one by one
Massive armies of the nations become mobilized
A cataclysmic fight defined
Battlefields of human will against the mechanized
Alliance
All hail the end of all reason
Dark days reign now
Naïve you’ve run out of season
Folded hands open to collect their guns
And you were the ones
Said goodbye, you lived for these front lines
Fathers and sons
Your broken bodies forever lie in these fields

Half dead living on the front line
Still young but maybe it is their time
Youth dreams dancing in their heads
Pinned down, cover all direction
Lay low avoiding detection
Fall back and bring a heaven send
Praise Gun our Savior
Hail Death the Master
Nightfall, momentary silence
Dawn breaks resuming of the violence
Each day brings a boy’s farewell
Deploy some holy heavy metal
M2, weapon of the devil
Pull back to rack and unleash hell
Praise Gun our Savior
Hail Death the Master
Trigger sending disaster
Praise Gun our Savior
Gun our Savior, modern rapier
Raise thee to the sky
Hallelujah, ripping through ya’
.50 cal never tells lies
Praise Gun our Savior
Hail Death the Master
Trigger sending disaster
Praise Gun our Savior

The city standing in ruin
Campaign of terror and fear
Her candle flame still a flicker
But she’ll be blacked out for years
Defiant pride, never back down from the fight
Living in the underground
And they will know we won’t be giving in
When we hear the sirens sound
BENEATH THE DARK NIGHT WE BRING THE STARLIGHT!
Morale can never be broken, iron our resolve and will
They’ve tried to force us to bow down though we are here standing still
Angels of death, see the shadows on the ground
And know the horror they bring
Thousands of guns pound the heavens above
Tearing through their precious wings
BENEATH THE DARK NIGHT WE BRING THE STARLIGHT!
Setting fire to the sky
BENEATH THE DARK NIGHT WE BRING THE STARLIGHT!

Behind the wire burned the fire of a generation, loyalty they would prove
They took a chance and pledged their lives to serve under the number 100/442
If questioned why they’d rather to die than lose the sacred honor
of their family name
A quiet pride would change the tide and make a grateful nation, if they live to see the day
Misplaced suspicion of blame
But they were patriots all the same
Their nation in need
They went to find their place to be
A second class as some believed
And yet they fought so valiantly
A day of rest the call came in to save a lost battalion
Two attempts had been made
Deep in the Vosges they’ll go for broke and face a week of fighting, never losing their fame
One by one a leveled gun a screaming charge advancing
Hajiro leading the way
Spilling their blood over the mud to save 200 Texans
And their legend was made
So many would pay the price
But they had more than one war to fight
Their nation in need
They went to find their place to be
A second class as some believed
And yet they fought so valiantly

So here we go again like the raging waters
Throwing a thousand men into guns and mortars
Is there no value to these lives
Taking ground to give it back
Cutting tension with a knife
Crossing their chests, preparing attack
To the beating of our hearts
To the beating of the thundering roar
This is the pulse of the daring
We’re the minute and the second hand
To the beating of our hearts
So here we go again, same as all the others
Running through no man’s land, to join our fallen brothers
Is there no value to these lives
Taking ground to give it back
Lost generation on both sides
Crossing their chests, preparing attack
To the beating of our hearts
To the beating of the thundering roar
This is the pulse of the daring
We’re the minute and the second hand
To the beating of our hearts

Heroes are born under fire
Stories are passed down through the years
The make of a man often proven
When duty must overcome all of his fears
10-93 Mogadishu
Nothing but chaos all around
Super Six Four taking fire
A final request and their boots hit the ground
Best of the best, no debating
Maybe they trained for this day
The flag on your sleeve, well it don’t mean a thing
Your national pride or the anthems we sing
When your death is at hand, those who’ve been there they know
We’ll stay with you brother until it’s our time to go
Running like hell through the city
A bullet to all those who would dare
Fought their way through to the wreckage
Tended the wounded and began to prepare
Two men with side arms and their rifles
Vastly outnumbered and outgunned
Many will fall to defeat them
But they knew this battle could never be won
Best of the best, no debating
Maybe they trained for this day
The flag on your sleeve, well it don’t mean a thing
Your national pride or the anthems we sing
When your death is at hand, those who’ve been there they know
We’ll stay with you brother until it’s our time to go
The flag on your sleeve, well it don’t mean a thing
Your national pride or the anthems we sing
When your death is at hand, those who’ve been there they know
We’ll stay with you brother until it’s our time

Headstrong I can’t be broken, I’ll fight the world
One chance to prove the boy is no more, no more
Forward no turning back now my youth is dead
Give me a rifle and the ones to feed its lead
Fearless I walk these foreign lands driven by pride
Mission, ensuring heavy losses on their side
Ring out, oh god my bloody hands, under attack
Struck by a blinding light my vision turns to black
So good to have you all around me
And I hope I never let you down
Tears fall but mama don’t you worry
They’ll never put me in the ground
Resurrect, I’m back for more, tempt fate again
Brothers who laid their lives down I am here for them
Played out displays of violence, story of war
My peace has been made demons haunt me never more

Born of necessity
The coming of a new Fairchild
Middle 70’
She took to the sky
Infamous destiny
To all foes crossing her path
Mist of her enemies still hangs in the air
Engines sing, leveled wings, descending
Metal rain, she holds the Avenger
Wrath of the Thunderbolt
Strafe, enfilade, GAU-8
Flame, fusillade
Armored internally
Cradle of alloy they lie
Directing fury
They could never love another
Send in the cavalry
Incoming devastation
She’ll be the death of me if I call her too near
Engines sing, leveled wings, descending
Metal rain, she holds the Avenger
Wrath of the Thunderbolt
Strafe, enfilade, GAU-8
Flame, fusillade
Rain down thy vengeance of god
She hammers all in her way
Baring teeth her turret ablaze
Spitting and none shall be saved
…
Shell shocked the few who survive
Terror cuts through the serene
Darkness the dragon resides
Forever haunting their dreams
Hear her scream

For the 5th it will be the first day
Allies are pushing forward
Pray to God that they’ve opened our way
If not we’ll face the horror
Fate is waiting beneath a gray sky
We are the chosen, the waves are crashing
Thirty seconds between us and our destiny
Metal on metal, MG42
Zero hour, the door is falling
My heart is racing the lead starts to fly, in all my life it’s a good day to die
WE ARE HERE!
For the 5th it will be the first day
Allies are pushing forward
Just pray to God that they’ve opened our way
If not we’ll face the horror
Eyes wide open among the dead
Through the smoke screen hear them calling
Time is wasting and I must start charging ahead
Like the streaming tears of their mothers
Bleeding bodies, bloody rivers
Torrents of crimson recede to the tide, oh my god can we make it alive
WE ARE HERE!
Crawl your way boys, cause’ lying here you’ll die
Seize the day boys, don’t let them take your lives
Turning momentum, death in the air
Live in the here and now, no preservation
A met objective is hanging in front of our eyes
Our tormentors, most under 21
God have mercy, we will have none
WE ARE HERE!
Time, healer of wounds but memories fade
Our fathers came home but some had to stay
Ghosts walk the shores watching the sea
A prayer for their souls and resting peace

Part 1: The Visitor In A Dream
I had a friend one day with nothing left to prove
I told him that I’d be there always
He smiled and stared at me and said I was a fool
I never came back and you’re dreaming
I’m sorry
I had a friend one day just staring at his shoes
And then the silence ended
A bullet with my name but his life was to lose
Though it was given not for nothing
Part 2: The Dire Existence of Humanity
We all have our share of loss, share of sacrifice, savagery, heroic tales…
And every damn war is justified to the righteous
Deafening cries of the ones who died
Striving for meaning
How loud must they howl from the other side, this lesson never learned
Part 3: Pride of Nations
Embody the will of us all
You answered the call
OUR FALLEN SONS
A weight carried all the wars through
Burdened by so few
OUR FALLEN SONS
The uniform honor defend
No fear at the end
OUR FALLEN SONS
And no one will ever subside
Your family’s pride
OUR FALLEN SONS
Part 4: We Leave You To The Ages
In fields standing rows of white stone
In tombs of unknown
OUR FALLEN SONS
The lining of citadel halls
The etchings on walls
OUR FALLEN SONS
Sent far to places unknown
We carried you home
OUR FALLEN SONS
And though all the pain and the hurt
Live on in this verse
