Lyrics Let There Be War - Senser

Let There Be War

First there is sound, distant sound
The murmuring sound of the crowd
Louder and louder till everything drowns
Now there are drums, that herald the setting of reason’s sun
Then there are lights,
Falling like stars in the sacred night
Now you will suffer for my love more than ever before
Let there be war
From a distance it resembles white hair flowing into the sky
The slug, the giant, the dirty device the men and the boys will die
The uncontrollable urge to take the one thing that your brother has
I am the source of this urge,
I am the curse,
This is a war universe
The promise of man, will lead you to hell
A hell in this world, the wages of sin
We cannot trust them, look at the signs
They are unlike us ready to strike us
Strike them first, burn everything clean
Cauterise their genes
Brushed by the wings of madness
My tears burn flesh
My gaze is death and my heart is full of those tears
I am the snake that appears
Coiled around the hearts of men
The phosphorous fang
The bodies that hang like withering fruit on the stem
The hero, the butcher, amnesia stains the future
undead relive the dying
Compassion’s waning flame, forever your sons will do the same
Let there be war
Cut off from earthly ties, and the interest of humans
Consult the sky for guidance, the act consumed fanatic
Reason and conscience wholly silenced
In men that know no rules, no ties but those of their order
No duty but to their cause and to extend it’s venal power
In a sleep state to their end, an end that justifies their means
An end that multiplies like dreams
of breaking limbs and burning screams and virgins bathed in blood and wine
Blindly obey the grand design
These streams of honey, burning flesh
The lips of death, all is regret
Let there be war
know this is the order of the earth
know this is the breath behind the word
Who could be so proud to think that they
Could lay their hand to stop the wheel that turns
