[Intro]
Ash in my lungs
Iron on my tongue
Throne made of teeth
I rise from the wreath
[Verse 1]
Boots sink deep
In a field of broken flags
Charred bone smoke
Burns the color from the sky
Rust-red hands
Tear the banners into shreds
Every name I knew
Already learned to die
[Chorus]
Blood war
Drowning in the gore
Skulls crown the earth
We’re begging for one more
Blood war
Hear the carcass choir roar
Nothing left to pray for
This is what we’re made for
Blood war
[Verse 2]
Teeth crack loud
On the gravel and the glass
Mud
Meat
Steel
Clotted on my mask
Eyes like holes
Drilled clean through my head
Marching with the cursed
And the freshly dead (yeah)
[Chorus]
Blood war
Drowning in the gore
Skulls crown the earth
We’re begging for one more
Blood war
Hear the carcass choir roar
Nothing left to pray for
This is what we’re made for
Blood war
[Bridge]
[Half-time slam
Vocals dragged and guttural]
Pile the bodies
Build the path
Step by step
Through the aftermath
Every scream
Is a vow we keep
We sow in flesh
What we reap in sleep (hey!)
[Chorus]
Blood war
Drowning in the gore
Skulls crown the earth
We’re begging for one more
Blood war
Hear the carcass choir roar
Nothing left to pray for
This is what we’re made for
Blood war
