Grime and Dust

Grime and Dust - Original

It’s now a six nation war
Enemies to friends, friends to foes
It’s nothing the world hasn’t seen before
Just another dance to keep you on your toes

Back and forth through the lines
Armies marching on,
Commencing operation total war
The earth turns red

Everyone knows about it
But nothing is what they do
The fire conquers Rome
Far from the start of this trivial war

Everyone dreams about it
Gaining honor and glory with every kill
We’re gonna scorch the earth
And now I can’t forget about it

Back and forth through the lines
It’s just what I do
And the message in the dead man’s eyes
Says leave it alone

They don’t want to hear about it
The officers scream charge like hell
Everyone thinks about it
What their life will be inside hell

Armies marching relentlessly on
Trampling empty shells into the soil
Draining mother earth’s lifeblood blue
Becoming animals, me and you

All the soldiers longing for an end
All the generals killing for peace
All the civilians looking for safety
All the universe witnesses our folly

Thanks for reading!
