Symphony of Death

I’m trapped, cornered and still
Outside death’s drawing near

Satis est bellum

Comrades were rushing towards
enemy lines, spraying mortars and bullets
A sudden pause, all stared to the sky
That’s when it arrived

Satis est bellum
Vultus circum
Vultus circum

Through the glass I see it kill
Strike the person’s name with its quill
With a finger’s touch a body drops
Scythe unmoved, clean, untouched

It kills only those who killed
Civilians caring for their own
Got to live, were not alone

Is this an answered prayer
A sign to the world
Or just the end of …?

Please just take me home
Don’t know why or what I'm fighting for
Those who led us astray should be here
“For the nation!”, extermination

In the mist, deathly beauty and fear
The mechs undergo their drill

Sights of horror, dust and tears
Death’s unscathed it continues still
It continues still

It kills only those who killed
Civilians caring for their own
Got to live, were not alone

Is this an answered prayer
A sign to the world
Or just the end of …?

Please just take me home
Don’t know why or what I'm fighting for
Those who led us astray should be here
“For the nation!”, extermination

Death’s hell eyes burn on me

Et quis fortes
Qui vultus
Invenies
Hoc praemium
Frui

Pulsate mortem
Pulsate mors
Pulsate mors
Fatum pulsat

It killed only those who killed
Civilians caring for their own
Were not alone

Is this vision the truth or am I…?

Please just take me home
Don’t know why or what I'm fighting for
Those who led us astray should be here
“For the nation!”, exoneration
“For the nation!”
