[Verse 1]

A chasm grows

In the cavity of serpentine teeth

Serpentine teeth

Hunger pangs strike

For the sweet feast of innocent blood

Of innocent bloodshed, now here we go


[Pre-Chorus]

The vampires feed

On the wars of mankind

The vampires feed

On the wars of mankind

Growing fat on the throne of an empire

Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire


[Chorus]

I've opened up my eyes

Seen the world for what it's worth

Tears rain down from the sky

They'll blow it all to bits

To prove whose god wields all the power

Fire rains down from the sky


[Verse 2]

The gaping wounds

Hemorrhaging the blood from which they feast

Blood from which they feast

Eat us alive

Consume to feed a hunger with no

A hunger with no end, let's fucking go


[Pre-Chorus]

The vampires feed

On the wars of mankind

The vampires feed

On the wars of mankind

Growing fat on the throne of an empire

Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire


[Chorus]

I've opened up my eyes

Seen the world for what it's worth

Tears rain down from the sky

They'll blow it all to bits

To prove whose god wields all the power

Fire rains down from the sky


[Bridge]

This battle's not the same

As they have led us to believe

A synthesis of propaganda

Terror and deceit

We are the cattle; they the slaughter;

Our meat: gasoline

They pump us through the machine's valves

To cleanse the world's "disease"

We are the ammunition

That will cause all life to cease


[Refrain]

Annihilate

All those who stand in their way

Obliterate

They'll rain their holocaust down from the sky


[Pre-Chorus]

The vampires feed

On the wars of mankind

The vampires feed

On the wars of mankind

Growing fat on the throne of an empire

Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire


[Chorus]

I've opened up my eyes

Seen the world for what it's worth

Tears rain down from the sky

They'll blow it all to bits

To prove whose god wields all the power

Fire rains down from the sky


[Refrain]

Annihilate

All those who stand in their way

Obliterate

They'll rain their holocaust down from the sky
