"Barren Lands And Seas Of Red" lyrics

As I stand, the earth below me
Seems to weep the blood of men
For the ones who've gone before me
My time comes to follow them
I hear not the cry of the fight
I see not my brothers now
Only bodies upon this night
Only slaughter I've found
No one at my back to save me
The final line waits to be sent
I pray not for food or water
Only for this hell to end

Screams, they come at night
Seem to paralyse
Come to call me out to war
Make our final stand
Under God's command
They take lives, but we take more

Over the barren lands
Across seas of red
Over the barren lands
Where the angels dare to tread

As I lay, black sky above me
Come to sound the funeral bell
Emptiness all that's before me
No one staring back from hell
March on to the guns
We the chosen sons
Born to die here in this war
Now as death becomes (oh)
Takes our mortal souls (oh)
We live on forevermore

Over the barren lands
Across seas of red
Over the barren lands
Where the angels dare to tread

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh

Hellfire tears my skin
My eyes fill with blood
No longer a soldier
I was fed to the gun
Abandoned by God
There's no help from above
Choking on ash
Just a pile of guts
Clouds smouldering red
The sky seems to burn
Surrounded by bodies
And now it's my turn
A voice screams beside me
In a foreign tongue
Reach for the trigger
God, what have I done?

Over the barren lands
Across seas of red
Over the barren lands
Where the angels dare to tread
(Yeah)
