Violation of trusting hearts comes to you with a price

You scatter around when darkness falls, a pack of frightened mice

Lay your arms down stop that war, an exercise in vain

Use your heads and give a damn, remove the veil of pain

CHORUS:

Words of wisdom crowns of gold

Words of fashion dolls of old

Ages so young so many leapers

Mages, fishermen, throngs of reapers

CHORUS

Desecration of love lost picks at you with a knife

Raising banners to paeans of old, is it worth a life?

Ring in the new because the elder's taken a bad turn

Alarms through time, you pay the cost, how will you ever learn?

CHORUS

Putrefaction in the trenches, a lesson in pure hate

A soldier dreams, a girl is crying, signs of a lost fate

Your turn will come, prisoners caught, released in clouds of gray

A monster lies between your ears, this dragon you must slay
