Theaters Of War

(album: The Wretched; The Ruinous - 2023)

Theaters of war
Theaters of war

Living out our nightmares
Every day outpaces the last
Can we change the outcome
You do what you're told
You do what you're asked

Hate sets in
Distrust in all that surrounds us
Fuel to win
Separate for your cause escalate

Beholden to your own
Tear down those that don't see eye to eye
Tribal instincts waken
You do what you're told
You do what you're asked

I won't turn my back on my own
Never give in, never retreat, never kneel

Theaters of war

Here we go again
Another headline drawn to ignite divides
Blind pledged allegiance
It's taking us down
Captives to our side

Hate sets in
Distrust in all that surround us
Fuel to win
Separate for your cause escalate

I won't turn my back on my own
Never give in, never retreat, never kneel
You won't turn your back on your own
Never a truce, never concede, never peace

Time will bring eternal scorn
Legions of the damned are born

I won't turn my back on my own
Never give in, never retreat, never kneel
You won't turn your back on your own
Never a truce, never concede, never peace

Final hour
Death wield
Mutilation of a culture is sealed

We're all actors in theaters of war
We're all actors in theaters of war
We're all actors in theaters of war
