Battle Scars

We climb to the top of the hill
To see what lies beneath
Waiting for its time to feed
If, first, we don't kill each other

Battle scars tell the tale of a life lived hard
Empty souls left to ponder the question, "why?"
Drowning bodies climb to stay above the line
Cannibals arise

Now, shut your eyes
Cover your ears and stand in line
We cannot afford the voice of discontent
Shut down the oppressed
Silence the mouths that spit the venomous
Hell on earth
(No one escapes) No one escapes on judgment day
(Something) Something has to give

We climb to the top of the hill
To see what lies beneath
It waits for its time to feed
If, first, we don't kill each other

Bombs of peace (shake the earth)
Bombs of peace (shake the earth)
Shake the earth
Shake the earth
