WAR MACHINES

WAR MACHINES
There’s a fallen soldier lost inside a bottle that has ran dry. So afraid to live and no more to give, just wanting to die as life passes by.
He can see our world burn as the smoke and fire turns.
The bombs go off as bones and flesh turn to ash, while the government sits back watching as they laugh.
They send out their teams but we fight back with our war machines.
When their heaven slowly turns to hell, we finally break free from their evil spell that lives inside of you and me.
Now they can’t run and can’t hide what they don’t want you to see.
With our guns in hand our bullets will burn them up inside and truth will be spoken and no more lies.
Our freedom is here to stay no more empty bottles and no fears as the darkness fades.
