War never changes


My brother who is coincidentally is the Basses for the Bronze Vale project set me a challenge of writing a song about war. No perimeters, just war and this is what I came up with. He really enjoyed it and it got his approval.



War never changes

We know war

Ever since first man beat his brother down.

Death is all we know

As we’re dragged down into our graves.

Blood in our eyes

As we picked up our weapon of choice.

Let’s fight to the death

Because war never changes…



Reckless destruction

We built armies of thousands to march.

Conquest the world

Fighting for king, for god, for glory.

Returning alive

We shall return home as martyr’s and hero’s

To be called out again

Because war never changes…



Litter the fields

Stain the land with bodies of the dead.

Political chaos

Fight over money, over land, over pride

Hunger for more

Sending millions to their death again

Their generals on the side line

Because war never changes…



What happened to the oath we took?

Where is the blessing we received?

Who do we follow into battle now?



Whatever the weapon, wherever the battle field.

Only one of us leaves alive…



Blood!!

We are the puppets of war

Fire!!

We are the puppets of war

Orders!!

We are the puppets of war



Charge!!

Kill!!

Ruin!!

Because war never changes…

Never…

Never…

Never…

Never changes.
