[Intro] The furnace wakes with hunger Iron jaws gnaw iron bones The dripping blood is measured In gears, in teeth, in stones The pit is full of laughter From throats already torn The grinder sings unholy To worlds that die unborn [Verse] Corpse grinder Gnash your teeth Whispering the nightmare dreams The mountain of skulls is steep The pile of bones will be reaped [Chorus] War and peace Death and life Devour the children We feast on their cries Take to the battle Grind 'em down War and peace Death and life [Verse] Rotted banners hanging low Dripping with the souls we take The halls of ash and marrow Where the dead refuse to break Churning flesh against the wheel Let the hammer fall tonight We forge the graves of nations In the smoke of endless blight [Bridge] Hear the bone-saw choir wailing Hear the anvils pound the tomb Hear the choir of the slaughter Chant the hymn of final doom The graveyards march in legions Past the cities burned to glass We are famine made immortal We are storm, we are the mass [Instrumental] [Chorus] War and peace Death and life Devour the children We feast on their cries Take to the battle Grind 'em down War and peace Death and life [Outro] The grinder keeps on turning Long after silence dies Long after warmth is stolen Long after hope denies We grind the last of memory Till all the stars are blind And in the bones of heaven Only hunger will remain, aligned.
