Staring out at the enemy lines
The trenches deep and fortified
Await the order to charge in the night
Who will be the first to die?
Behind safe doors
Unsullied medals gleam
Commanders and generals grin
As soldiers are fed to the machine
Unsung heroes sent out to die
Millions and millions to secure the lie
A sovereign state above the rest
Propaganda put to the test
War Machine
Thrives on human screams
War Machine
The armchair general's dream
This is the War Machine
Watch it's muzzle gleam
The War Machine
As it burns the down world
This is the War Machine
The War Machine
Fire!
Burn down the world
Aiming down the iron sights
The bugle calls we charge tonight
A dead run across no man's land
Straight into enemy hands
And so the mighty safely hide
In their castles far and high
While the young must fight their fight
For the rich their lives are sacrificed
War Machine
Thrives on human screams
War Machine
The armchair general's dream
