Lyrics The Battle Of Nowhere - The Stanfields

T'is the loathsome right
Of lions and lords
To visit their might
Upon lambs
Oh butcher and beast,
Tyrant and cabal
I am a lion no longer

For empire and flag,
For captain and king
I offered no quarter
Nor mercy
Spurred by the rage
Of a thousand vengeful gods
And blinded by men of ambition

Such industry
Is violence and war
And how the ends are not all
They claim
Righteous crusades
Bear bullion and control
And garnish the blood
Of a nation

So beware the promise
Of exotic frontiers
Where the battle of nowhere
Is waged
Where patriot sons
Are put to the sword
And lost in the strains
Of an anthem
