The Eternal Wound

A minor shape fading into the void...
From the stone... to the star...

A fist of sand, the first blood spilled
A tribal howl, a primitive will
Spear in the chest, the fire in the cave
The hunter's pride... became the slave

Iron and steel, the Roman road
The screaming horse, the heavy load
Two world machines, a concrete tomb
The gas, the shell, the nuclear bloom

WE PULL THE TRIGGER!
WE START THE PLAGUE!
FROM THERMOPYLAE... TO THE BAGHDAD HAGUE!
THE FLESH IS WEAK!
THE HATE IS STRONG!
WE KEEP MARCHING ON... WHERE DO WE BELONG?

A satellite blinking in the silent black
A laser sight on a beaten track
The drones don't weep, the robots kill
The silicon hand obeys the will

From the muddy trench to the lunar dust
In rusty tanks, in we trust
The enemy’s flag, a different shape
But it’s the same old ape... wearing a space cape

WE PUSH THE BUTTON!
WE START THE FIRE!
FROM THE CAVE MAN'S CLUB TO THE FUNERAL PYRE!
THE FLESH IS CHEAP!
THE HATE IS REAL!
IT'S THE SAME OLD DEAL... THE SAME OLD KILL!

I’ve seen the future... and it’s the past.
A circle of weapons that’s built to last.
You call it "Peace"... I call it "Lie".
You polish the bomb while the children cry.

THE ETERNAL WOUND!
IT NEVER HEALS!
THE BASTARD SWORD... THE LASER BEAMS!
WE JUST INVENT... NEW WAYS TO DIE!
UNDER THE SAME OLD SKY!
(Solo outro to fade) .. SAME OLD SKY!
