This Means War

(album: From Oceans To Skies - 2015)

We are
The war's all stars
Fighting off the villainy
Of our own epiphany
No, we won't
Let our goal
Of a better system
Drive Earth to darker vision
It's a mistake
But this we can take
Race to the finish and now
We're gonna win it
Never outmatched
The best are dispatched
Avoid this cold extinction
Our world's programmed affliction

It's all coming together
The countdown's at an end
Gods and men fighting as equals
As allies, not as friends
But all it takes
To raise the stakes
Is a world worth fighting for
You've crossed a line
For the last time
This means war

This means war

Our time
Has led us to shine
The path we're on to victory
Runs with blood and misery
It's a sick game
Because death came
To the young and innocent
In this metal instrument
It's a crisis
But one we can fix
The strings that puppeteer us
Now begin to fear us
The time is now
To sort this out
A clockwork apparition
Has challenged our position

It's all coming together
The countdown's at an end
Gods and men fighting as equals
As allies, not as friends
But all it takes
To raise the stakes
Is a world worth fighting for
You've crossed a line
For the last time
This means war

The skies are ringing with metallic singing
A binary general
The spirits are broken and the monster's awoken
Rise, synthetic devil
When the shields are shattered, our heroes battered
It seems our saviours are no more
Our magnum opus has turned against us
This means war

It's all coming together
The countdown's at an end
Gods and men fighting as equals
As allies, not as friends
But all it takes
To raise the stakes
Is a world worth fighting for
You've crossed a line
For the last time
This means war

This means war
