Devils in the Night, Gods of War, Satan Laughs... |
Gods, Devils, and War Part I: Night I stand alone in the night Blackness fills the soul The moon shines pale and sick Scudding clouds across the sky Erie shadows all around Darkness beneath the trees Mysteries of the unknown Primitive fears Gleaming lights cold and clear Diamonds shine far away The obscure stars In the infinite expanse The whisper of a breeze A rustle of leaves The night is silent In the eternal gloom Part II: The First Battle Distant thunder in the night Explosions fill the air Sounds of far off gunfire Tearing people to shreds Screams of terror in my mind Imagination running wild To far to hear the sound Of hell on earth See the rockets red glare No flag left standing They all wave in Hell Where war is god Far away in the dark The battle rages Feelings of detachment Here there is no war Part III: Feelings of Patriotism They came before the night Burning with patriotism Colorful flags and marching steps Opinions without thought I hear their words We must fight To bring you freedom To destroy evil Devils in the night We go to fight To cover their fields in gore Massacre their hated host You will be safer soon The enemy vanquished Devils banished in the light Praise the names of the dead Get ready for the charge On to battle and glory The bliss of the kill Gods of war Part IV: Understanding I wonder in the night No one dies for me Freedom of the mind Allegiance to no one My life is mine Evil is indulgence I live of the land Simple is better Never in need The land provides No hate known In the music of life Growing things The subtle magic The preservation of life No use for war Part V: The Others Come Soldiers in the night The other patriots Uniforms covered in blood Flags tattered and limp They call to me Danger lurks We die for you Guardians of good Devils in the night We must fight Smash their miserable lives Mangle their dead You will be safer soon The enemy destroyed Devils gone back to hell Praise the names of the dead They move on Filled with new enthusiasm Ready to kill Gods of war Part VI: The Last Battle War again, in the night Far off sounds More hate and bigotry The earth quakes in blood I stand again in the calm The eye of the storm Fear the oncoming battle The hurricane of war We must better war Spend everything on it No time to learn No time to tolerate Hate beyond reason I shudder with revulsion Weapons become more massive Their destruction unequaled Part VII: The Wasteland The dead unaffected in the night The innocent are the ones who pay They who do not kill Their lives filled with anguish The dead get the honor The people feel the blame The dead mourned The living left in dread I stand in the wasteland It was once my home The land no longer provides In the infernal desert Wasteland before me The gain of war They gave no freedom Only chains Devils in the night We cannot fight We are the devils of war Satan laughs |
