Fuel for War Lyrics


Go and get your rifle, you're headed for the front

Get ready for the last day of your life

This is what you trained for, mow it's do or die

Your life depends on how fast you can dive

When it ends and the bullet comes for you

A casualty is what you have become

It is your fate, it is your destiny

Fuel for war

In the hail of bullets, dodging all you can

Take cover by the bodies on the ground

Chaos all around you as far as eye can see

Devastation nothing but profound

All the smoke and fire, impossible to breathe

Feeling you are running out of breath

Then you feel the impact, lying on the ground

Waiting for the sweet release of death

When it ends and the bullet comes for you

A casualty is what you have become

It is your fate, it is your destiny

Fuel for war

Now it's done and over, you are homeward bound

Your casket covered with our country's flag

Comrades right beside you, lowered to the ground

Young heroes in their plastic body bags

Your memory remains among your family

Your country counts you only as a number

Food for the machine of wealth and liberty

Please enjoy your unsung hero slumber

When it ends and the bullet comes for you

A casualty is what you have become

It is your fate, it is your destiny

Fuel for war
