Generals gathered in their masses Just like witches at black masses
^{D E D E}
Evil minds that plot destruction Sorcerer of death's construction
^{D E}
In the fields are bodies burning
D E(\C)

As the war machine keeps turning
D E\(C)

Death and hatred to mankind
^{D E D E}
Poisoning their brainwashed minds. Oh Lord, yea!

Politicians hide themselves away. They only started the war

Why should they go out to the fight? They leave that peril to the poor, yea!
G7\(B7) G7\(B7) G7\(b7) G7\(B7)


Time will tell on their power minds, making war just for fun

Treating people just like pawns in chess; wait till their judgment day comes

yea!
