I've played this game so many times
I set the stage, I draw the lines
I demonstrate my domination
All across this blinded nation

I put the weapon into your hands
I sent you to the distant land
I gave you one last kiss goodbye
I put this mantra into your mind

It's "for God and country"
Time to prove you're worthy
Pumped propaganda
Daily fear agenda
Exaggerate the threat
To justify attack
I start retaliation
Convenient for elections

Rocket launchers and kevlar shields
Heavy armoured mannequins
Full-time media coverage
the Circus has come to town

Deafening silence
In the air
Before the fire's
Reign begins

WAR!

Kill for God and country
Time to prove you're worthy
Hear the war-head bursting
See the steel protruding
Listen to the screams
When flesh meets the machines
After all the horror
How short-sighted can you be?

Don't you realize
That
You
Trade your blood for
Nothing?

You've played my game, but only once
Obeyed my rules, trusted my lies
All what's left now is your name
Mother's cry and Folded flag

Testimony of War Glory
Thousands tombstones stand before me
Bodycount grows silently
Under insignia
"Who dares, wins"
