[Lore / Background]: "It is no secret that the drive for war and violence is also a call to arms for the innovative, the efficient and the ruthless, all three of which go hand in hand more often than not. One such example of this was the fall of Great Barbatio, a stronghold planet occupied by the Remnant Republic of Humanity, where a legion of Hegemony-aligned Kraal utilized a new concoction of their lethal biotoxin compound to melt through the militia's defenses and vehicles." [Verse 1] Glass in the lungs of the sunrise White coats tracing charts like graves Steel wings carve open the cloud line Test sites blooming Nameless flames New math written in bone dust Fresh code etched in a melted wall Every breakthrough has a barcode Every theorem waits to crawl [Pre-Chorus] Desperate for peace Of the grave Hungry for more Than what we've got in store [Chorus] Innocence does not exist Only suffering and power I'll lead my soldiers into hell (It matters not to me) For men of strife The death of their first life Was but a gentle death More than I could ever wish More than I could ever wish [Verse 2] In the distant shadows of my home Darkness drowns the horizon Piles of bodies Former comrades Innocent flesh torn to shreds It matters not to me [Pre-Chorus] Desperate for peace Of the grave Cast into darkness Death would be a mercy In a war without victory [Chorus] Innocence does not exist Only suffering and power I'll lead my soldiers into hell (It matters not to me) For men of strife The death of their first life Was but a gentle death More than I could ever wish [Bridge] For all these men of strife It would have been a gentle death... A true utopia More than we could ever wish... Is it victory Or vivisection? Is this cure Or infection? [Breakdown] Strip the names! Replace with numbers! Watch the charts! Climb with every scream! Call it progress Call it glory Just a mass grave Feeding one machine!! "Sometimes I can't help but wonder... will anyone remember us when we die?" [Chorus] Innocence does not exist Only suffering and power I'll lead my soldiers into hell (It matters not to me) For men of strife The death of their first life Was but a gentle death More than I could ever wish [Spoken Word]: "Kraal Assault Squads sighted, do we hold our ground or fall back and regroup?!" (It matters not to me...) "Heskuran Drop-Tombs sighted in the south-east! (It matters not to me...) "The Hegemony's battalions have broken through the fortifications, please give us your orders!!" (It matters not to me...)
