EN
When gods are spent and bullets fly I ask myself for whom I die Revenge I seek from faceless foes The mercy of god in screaming death throes A shot silences your final breath This is the end, not peace but death Artillery fires an atonal effigy Veil of gunpowder on your veil of treachery Martyr for a hellbound cause Swept up with the current into waiting jaws Martyr, rain in the skies Search for a reason with your vacant eyes Led here by the dragging noose In the name of god is hell let loose The explosion destroys, rips my ears One final assault, and Satan appears Fork in one hand, Sword in the other No hope now, run for cover Unleashed hell by the way of the gun Your word, my blood, our lives, thy is done Martyr for a hellbound cause See your life consumed by the tooth and claw Martyr, the instigator hides Rushing to death and the pale horse rides Graven god, in your own image Greater good for the blasted village Command by words that who the hell wrote Can you not see the masterstroke The pale horse rides in hate, led by the noose astray Martyr, and no one cares
