Puppets For War

All we are puppets for war Every profit is for war, and oil is the currency of the land While all the bombs blow apart in fragments as the man in a suit brags I know this rage is because of men in suits Control the dogfight, the nukes will blow As everyone dies for cash They rise to sign the orders The engines roar, old bombs begin to rot You drive the war machine, the dead churn in the pot Peace isn’t guaranteed — destruction! [Pre-Chorus The end draws near, machines march through a deserted land The sky is bleeding fire, yet the suits don’t understand [Chorus ] Puppets for war, the masters play their game Bodies for profit, yet they never take the blame All we are pawns, while destruction rains In this world of greed, only death remains [Verse 2] Bury the truth, hospitalize the children Control the masses, the reaper takes no passes Smoke chokes the cities, the hungry line the streets Bombs rain like thunder, their contracts are complete Engines never tire, and the orders never end Men in suits toast champagne, while the innocents descend Ashes of the fallen paint the land in black Humanity’s last candle flickers, never coming back [Pre-Chorus 2] The end draws near, machines march through a deserted land The reaper counts the cost, yet no one takes a stand [Chorus Puppets for war, the masters play their game Bodies for profit, yet they never take the blame All we are pawns, while destruction rains In this world of greed, only death remains [Guitar Solo] [Bridge Engines roar, bombs decay, the suits just look away Ash and oil, blood and soil, they’re gambling with the day The world on fire, profits higher, yet the innocents fall Hear the reaper, hear the choir — war consumes us all [Final Chorus] Puppets for war, the masters play their game Bodies for profit, yet they never take the blame All we are pawns, while destruction rains In this world of greed, only death remains The end draws near, the reaper spares no passes…
