Lyrics Conflicts - Merciless Sun Gods

Lives are signed to these books of war
Mothers cry tears of blood for sons and many more
500,000 dead in iraq, and for what
No wmd's found, we didn't call bush's bluff
We live by the pen, and die by the gun
Any records kept must be expunged
People filled with hate, what happened to love
We want it to stop, what has to be done
War is a business, lives ain't a factor
If there's any criticism, call them a bad actor
Claws of a dragon, and speed of a raptor
Obama administration spread a war of terror
They say the cost of freedom is civilian lives
But what is freedom if its only to die
In truth, our safety is a lie
The mercy of the government is the only thing keeping us alive

They keep books of war in the land of the free
They say that violence is the only way to keep the peace
But in reality, our only freedom is to bleed
American empire, domination is our creed

Yo
It's a book of war
Sentimental value
They took your core
Took your home
Took away the microphone, ya loan
And everyone you've ever known
There's no rules to it, better used to it
If you can't protect ya neck man then put a noose to it
Cause if you can't survive, these knives can ruin ya lives
Sharper than swords from children who see death in their eyes
And these AK's and m4's they'll never stop shooting
Another town down, now let's all start looting
The hate will never end, a force you'll always tend to trend
And Americans die, and lose their lives tryna fend
Everyone complains that their life just sucks
But, you still had friends
When insanity struck, uh
And now you're shit out of luck
Cause at least you're not in war
Givin yourself up

They keep books of war in the land of the free
They say that violence is the only way to keep the peace
But in reality, our only freedom is to bleed
American empire, domination is our creed

Liberating fortresses of the economically unfortunate
Lobbing nades over shoulders onto torches barely lit and it
Pains my emotions to witness the corrosion that is product of
The governments need to have a tournament
Cynical leaders transmitting cryptical messages
Writing propagandic books with interesting premises
Sinistral filters on information, keep us limited
The majority of a nation left helpless but inquisitive
A primitive way to keep their power infinitive
Don't ask questions if you want, but you will never truly live
Slipping through alleys to avoid the destruction
The sound of grenades alone can inflict a concussion
Running back and forth around dynamic battle lines
The brutality and madness over time will bend your mind
The forest so close that all you can smell are pines
At the end of the day, you pray that there is still home to find

They keep books of war in the land of the free
They say that violence is the only way to keep the peace
But in reality, our only freedom is to bleed
American empire, domination is our creed
