[Intro]
[hysterical laughter, distant war horns]
Skulls on the sand
Blood in the rain
Two mad legions
One dead plane
[Verse 1]
(Death Company)
Black armor, red tears
Hear the chapel bells crack
Priest chainin’ my wrists
I still bite right back
Got halos of brass
Over hollowed-out eyes
Every heartbeat a hammer
Every prayer, battle-cry
Drop pods hit
Like a plague on the ground
We descend in a storm
You just drown in the sound (hah!)
Chainsword choir
Sing a jagged hymn
Every tooth of the blade
Carves a psalm in skin
You think you rage?
We are rage on a leash
Sanguinius in the skull
Every swing, every breach
You just worship a skull
We remember a face
We bleed for a father
You just choke on the taste
[Chorus]
Black Rage vs Red Thirst (hey!)
Who screams louder in the dirt?
Who laughs last when the world burns?
Skulls crack, skies turn
Black Rage vs Red Thirst (hah!)
Whose curse, whose worse?
You want war?
We were born in the hearse
Black Rage vs Red Thirst
[Verse 2]
(World Eaters)
(teeth-baring growl)
We don’t hear sermons
We hear axes speak
Your chaplain whispers
Our god shrieks
We tore off the crown
From our own weak minds
Nails in the nerve
Every thump, battle-time
Red tide rising
We drown whole suns
You’re scared of your shadow
We’re in love with the guns
You clutch at your rosaries
Bleeding through gloves
We write scripture in viscera
All-caps, all love (hah!)
You see angels fall
We see galaxies kneel
Your visions are memories
Ours are hunger made real
You’re leashed lunatics
In a painted cage
We’re the finished product
Of unchained rage
[Chorus]
Black Rage vs Red Thirst (hey!)
Who screams louder in the dirt?
Who laughs last when the world burns?
Skulls crack, skies turn
Black Rage vs Red Thirst (hah!)
Whose curse, whose worse?
You want war?
We were born in the hearse
Black Rage vs Red Thirst
[Bridge]
[breakdown: guitars chug, choir chanting]
(Death Company)
Kneel, dog of the Butcher
You drown in your own flood
I wear a martyr’s memory
You’re just rust and mud
(World Eaters)
Bite down, broken angel
Your wings drag chains
We turned halos to helmets
And crowns into stains (hah!)
(Both, overlapping)
We don’t die
We just multiply scars
Two mad suns
Eating the stars
[Chorus]
Black Rage vs Red Thirst (hey!)
Who screams louder in the dirt?
Who laughs last when the world burns?
Skulls crack, skies turn
Black Rage vs Red Thirst (hah!)
Whose curse, whose worse?
You want war?
We were born in the hearse
Black Rage vs Red Thirst
[Outro]
[final slam, feedback howl]
Insane laughter
Grunts in the smoke
One god smiling
On the ruin we wrote
