Before Lyrics


War - Virtue Defiler

Where cowardice awards men with life

Abandoning fighting,

giving in fear,

leaving the comrades-

-so you can live

Agonal screams don’t seem to end

Before we enlisted

we should have known the price

Before pestilence comes

to take what’s left of us

No clear indication

Of enemy’s influence

Treacherous ground,

tunnels and swamps,

man swallowed by darkness

Lost to the void.

Bloody foam arose from wounds

Before we enlisted

We should have known the price

Before pestilence comes

to take what’s left of us

Inverting the justice,bravest must die,

Disregarding the future someone else had in mind

Sanity slips away as we lose our limbs

A squad of young men lost to the time

if that's the price of glory, I don’t want it

Before we enlisted

We should have known the price

Before pestilence comes

to take what’s left of us

Gathering the crew aboard to

Watch the worst nightmare unfold

You are the target,

the Plane is a hammer

Aimed to crush bones and send you to rot in depths

No remnants will be recognized

Before we enlisted

We should have known the price

Before pestilence comes

to take what’s left of us

We threw away our lives,

serving loyally

In a war that's not ours

No mercy in this century

Before we enlisted

We should have known the price

Before pestilence comes

to take what’s left of us

Yet, its another assault

to gain small piece of land

I am the last one standing

cannon fodder generation

Thrown into brutal fangs of chaos

Nightmares are less horrifying than what I’ve been through

Facing the truth I look into her dead eyes,

I hear their steps drawing near

With barrel pointed at my heart,

I finally understand the revelation,

I shall die.
