Still It Lives Inside Of Me
Sitting on the sidelines of war
Watching toils spark and die
This conflict lives with a bloody roar
One that echoes, lives, and cries
So much death, it makes me sob
For those who will never live again
My loathe for it is hard and deep
The Hate will live inside of me
I know it is my time to go
My papers stamped, thrown to and fro
I depart my home just like a dream
And still it lives inside of me.
And now I break, I bend, I kill
The fire within is never still
Each win is never free
And still it lives inside of me
Darting shapes are everywhere
Muzzle flashes caress the air
Our forces fall without heed
And still it lives inside of me
And now they lay me down to rest
Deep within the Earth I love
Exterminated just like a pest
This war has given me enough.
And still...it lives inside of me.
Even through my cold, dead flesh
I feel the warmth of vengeance there
I know I will receive a new start, fresh
And slaughter aliens without a care
Even now I feel the life
Spreading through my lifeless veins
It will awaken me with strife
But by then it will be too late...
But still, it lives inside of me
