Raised In Victory / Razed In Defeat

(album: Make Them Beg For Death - 2023)

Air raid sirens blare
Tracers fill the air
Explosions all around
Deafening the sound
White-knuckled on the gun
Civilians on the run

Mired in defeat, raised on resentment
The enemy to face is not one you know
Chaotic carpet bombing, use up munitions
True genocide, death to all below

Death from above instills the living nightmare
Indiscriminate slayings, anything that moves
The horror of passage a full-speed race
Every act a gamble, odds is you lose

War drums beating on, no more salvation
Cities leveled flat, incurring mass starvation
Buildings targeted, reduced to rubble
Hidden armor column emits no trouble

Countless armaments to wipe away dissent
Infinite bombs will fly, time to say goodbye
Raised in victory, razed in defeat

Shattered glass everywhere
To journey outside, don't dare
Debris from structures fall down
Spheres of influence drown
Pushing conflict to sell
Weapons forged from hell

The apex attained the height of escalation
Typhoon of slaughter the blitzkrieg still goes
Sporadic missile fire launched from the battery
When a bargain returns none of us knows

Diplomatic attempts seem like a struggle
Testing the waters to see who will buckle
Strengthen your hand with dead bodies to see
Pose a solution to bow down and take a knee
