man of war


burn for burn stripe for stripe wound for wound hip and thigh
the insolent cut down as grass all others serve his perfect hand

a man of war this man of war
here and there a little murder to make sure
that everything is as it was before

burn for burn stripe for stripe wound for wound hip and thigh
what you sow he shall reap it's justified by jealousy

it's not right that this man should be alone
so you are made like him - uneven
preach the good and practice evil

the insolent cut down as grass all others serve his perfect hand
thus to extend soul's frontiers he is spinning rings of fear

a man of war this man of war
here and there a little murder to ensure
that everything is as it

it's not right that this man should be alone
so you are made like him - uneven
preach the good practice evil

thus to extend soul's frontiers he is spinning rings of fear
he gives sod takes saves and slaughters unsteady as earth
unstable as water
