ARENA OF INVASION

Chorus

Political organised crime
Always shifting the blame
Bombs, bullets and friendly fire
A dangerous game

Drilling for oil
Under lethal pretence
Weaponry documents
Dramatic, yet falsified

Sibilant lies
Cause blackened skies
Bloodied arena of
Invasion

Verse 1

The circle of corruption spoils
The minds of those who stand in power
Conspiracy blinds us from the truth, the
Path we take has just turned sour
Incidents are conjured up to
Mask the underlying plan
Disaster cannot change its course,
The cries just echo in the sand

Verse 2

The shots fire back, no welcome mat
They know they're not here
Just for peace
The flag of truce is the hang mans noose,
The invaders fire and do not cease
Air ripped by marauding blades
Sand whipped by metallic treads
Legions of thieves in rank and file
Can only create more hate and dread

Bridge

Insurgence needles from all sides
Death forever breathing down your neck

Cowering in shadows, boiling frustration
Ever-present killing spawns seething rage

Oil, greed
Just breed
War, pain
Lies, and gain, for those with everything, wanting more
