lyrics

Don’t be proud
If it was up to me
You’d all be wormfood
Six feet in the ground
Flaunting weapons
That neither function
Nor have tasted men’s blood
It is befitting you cannot use them

Miswording failures in the pouring rain
They are the future’s tombstones
It’s the price that they pay for greatness
The great lie that they stubbornly believe
They are notional heroes
They never did what they’re sung for
They are the wasted heroes
On which I turn my back
I turned my back
And walked away

It says your name
The day
A glory hound with accolades
On a stone above your grave
But only guns have seen
The errors that you proudly made
The impotence you never had to show

Don’t be pathetic
Attention only works
If you respect
The people it comes from
You weren’t there
You’re not prepared
To see what you vainly had to practice for

Brainwashed and led to defeat
They are the future’s tombstones
But they’re too desperate to think on their own
To see that there’s no glory in death
They are embellished heroes
They believe what they were told to believe
They are the virgin heroes
On which I turn my back
I turned my back
To reap what I came for
