Edifice of Tyranny

The orders passed, as news breaks out
 Officials have declared
 "The diplomatic strain was not resolved
 And once again the peace talks failed"
 As head of state puts pen to paper
 A clearance to attack a new frontier
 The nation marvels
 As the war machine kicks into gear
 Mobilization of grim assets
 The power of fire and steel
 Escorted by an entourage of experts
 Their one objective is to kill
 Ear piercing harmonies of grating metal
 The deployment has begun
 Commencement of offensive operations
 The enemies shall topple one by one
 ♪
 Truth in the hands
 Of the righteous authorities
 The rise of the just
 ♪
 All targets locked and ready
 Opponent lurks in unfamiliar terrain
 The triggers click and set off the inferno
 Of yet another bloody, merciless campaign
 The earth accepts discarded matter
 The ash, the blood, the sweat
 The fragments of the fallen stay behind
 Awaiting their days of lament
 No price is too unreasonable
 When honour is at stake
 Blood weighs as much as water
 To those who don't grieve at the wake
 The war machine advances
 As the money fuels the hungry fire
 The power in the hands of those
 Who clench the power to conspire
 ♪
 Blood on the hands of corrupt authorities
 The demise of the truth
 Miscreant...
 Miscreant at the helm
 ♪
 The truth will always find a place to hide
 In the cracks of deceptive formalities
 While reliable sources rely on rewards
 In exchange for distorted realities
