[Intro] (Bass guitar solo, heavy distorted building tension) (Drums and crushing guitars slam in) [Instrumental build] Someone tell us the bombs are dropping Will save us all from our horror and guilt Now or never… now or never... Reaper of ruin... [Breakdown] WAR! WAR! THIS IS WAR! WAR IS HELL! HELL IS WAR! [Verse 1] Tell us the enemy was never the children Schools and graves are just casualties of war War, war on the poor—dead and gone before us Perishing, buried in the soil we ignore No, no—the warnings ignored Bombs rain down while the powerful applaud it [Pre-Chorus] Waving white flags just paints you a target Hostages be damned—they’re fodder for the harvest Killing their own while the innocent bleed Genocide’s father? Poverty and greed [Chorus] War is hell—hell is war, yeah Hell is hell as hell is war Dying for breathing, nothing more Reaper of ruin, reaper of ruin Reaper of death, reaper of ruin Rotten to the core! AH!! [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Shelling the innocent in a storm of lies Killing on the hour, the just cause is cowardice covered in judas's flies of ruin and decay They must cut their bloodline - never to rise—again! In power has soured the soul of the chosen Sowing seeds of horror, reaping the devoured Reapers of the ruined Once the persecuted - now the reapers of ruin [Chorus] War is hell—hell is war, yeah Hell is hell as hell is war Dying for breathing, nothing more Dying - for breathing... nothing more... Reaper of ruin, reaper of ruin Reaper of death, reaper of ruin Rotten to the core! Spoilage of war! [Bridge / Massive Breakdown] (slow half-time, crushing) Karma is revenge for the horror you breed Reaper of death… reaper of ruin… FUCK! [Explode back to full groove] Reaper of ruin reaper of children Extinguisher of life! Ahhh! [Deep Echoing Ambiance of Warfare Sounds] [Instrumental] Reaper of ruin! Reaper of ruin! Reaper of death! Reaper of ruin! Reaper of ruin! Reaper of ruin! Reaper of death—fuck! Reaper of ruin! Reap what you sow- reaper of ruin... [Final Chorus / Outro] War is hell—hell is war (war!) Hell is hell as hell is war (war!) Dying for breathing—nothing more Reaper of ruin, reaper of ruin Reaper of death, reaper of ruin Rotten… to the… core! (Repeating chants under heavy riff and feedback) Reaper of ruin [Verse 1 Repeated Fading Final Outro] Tell us the enemy was never the children Schools and graves are just casualties of war War, war on the poor—dead and gone before us Perishing, buried in the soil we ignore No, no—the warnings ignored Bombs rain down while the powerful applaud Reaper of ruin [End]
