SHRAPNEL

Verse 1

Indoctrinate
to hate
You cast your weapon from flesh and blood
Corrupted,
diet of lies
Directed from the cradle to a pointless demise

You live your life with no purpose but to die
To slaughter the flock to feed the predator
A lifetime in expectation
Just to turn yourself to
Human shrapnel

Chorus

As flames erupt from your premature death
What have you gained?
Fragments slicing through swathes of innocent flesh
You cannot justify this pain!

Verse 2

Unstoppable
No chance
Nobody cares who will live or die
Prophecies
Broken in half
No paradise awaits those flying death from the sky!

Religion built upon the corpses of the slain
A smoldering hell of screams and disarray
A world in crimson turmoil
Ripped to shreds by shards of
Human shrapnel

Calm shattered by screams
Bodies lashed by flames
Twisted words drive men to kill
Themselves, their kind, their world
