[verse 1] Daddy said son, you gotta make me proud Get out there, and do your best Squad leader said boys, time to go in loud Lay the enemy to rest I don't recall how I ended up here Dirty faced, sweating and beat I should have a desk job and a beer Worried more bout the summertime heat [pre chorus] All we know is what we're told Hoping we get a chance to grow old Carry the weight of our sins in gold Trapped in loops of time and space Lethal rats stuck running a race Playthings for a mad god to behold [chorus] And the dogs of war are howling for tomorrow Awooooooo, Awoooooooo Running away from the constant sorrow [guitar response] Racing hard through the burning forest Awooooooo, Awoooooooo Joining their voice to the wild chorus Cry on, dogs of war Ooooooooh, dogs of war [verse 2] Took a chopper to the front, gotta get paid You know I do what I must Soon as I land, give a brother first aid Forging a bond we can trust Sends me a tip, and a thanks for the lift Money's how we do our talkin' The hope that I feel is the real gift I wave goodbye, as he's walkin' [pre chorus] Scanning for a sign of man Trying to enact his plan Hunting me across the land Hope that maybe I will see Him before his shot finds me Then I'll serve a little justice, if I can [chorus] And the dogs of war are howling for an answer Awooooooo, Awoooooooo Why must we be the cells in society's cancer [guitar response] Fortunes made upon our bloodshed Awooooooo, Awoooooooo Feral kings on hills of the dead Cry on, dogs of war Oooooooo, dogs of war [Bridge] Load a round [clap] Hit the ground [clap clap] Didja hear that sound, next enemy found Dying light [clap] Final sight [clap clap] Another endless fight, It just ain't right Just ain't right Just ain't right! [guitar solo] [verse 3] Wake up with a start in another soul At the gates of perdition Buy a fresh kit 'fore I hit the road Can't deny my only mission One day I hope to see some peace Limp back towards normality For now the plight will never cease Welcome to reality [chorus] And the dogs of war are howling for a battle Awooooooo, Awoooooooo Herded to the grind like loaded cattle [guitar response] Point the way, they'll kill it all Awooooooo, Awoooooooo Helping man's empires to fall Cry on Oooooo And the dogs of war are crying at the moon Awooooooo, Awoooooooo Beggin' for the pain to end real soon [guitar response] Masters snap the leashes tight Awooooooo, Awoooooooo They soon may be the ones we bite Cry on, dogs of war Oooooooo, dogs of war [outro] Oooooooo, dogs of war
