lyrics

Staring out at the enemy lines
The trenches deep and fortified
Await the order to charge in the night
Who will be the first to die?

Behind safe doors
Unsullied medals gleam
Commanders and generals grin
As soldiers are fed to the machine

Unsung heroes sent out to die
Millions and millions to secure the lie
A sovereign state above the rest
Propaganda put to the test

War Machine
Thrives on human screams
War Machine
The armchair general's dream

This is the War Machine
Watch it's muzzle gleam
The War Machine
As it burns the down world
This is the War Machine
The War Machine

Fire!
Burn down the world

Aiming down the iron sights
The bugle calls we charge tonight
A dead run across no man's land
Straight into enemy hands

And so the mighty safely hide
In their castles far and high
While the young must fight their fight
For the rich their lives are sacrificed

War Machine
Thrives on human screams
War Machine
The armchair general's dream

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate

supported by 4 fans who also own “War Machine”

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
