Despised Icon – Slow Burning lyrics

Please the god ov war
They're fighting fire with fire
Power and wealth, a burning desire
Praise the god ov war
Forever fanning the flames
Hordes lead to early graves
Praise the god ov...
Praise the god ov war

Slowly burning
Our world reduced to ashes like slow burning paper
We're playing with matches
Our world reduced to ashes like slow burning paper
Running out of chances
Driven by madness, return to nothing
Need to command and control, the ultimate goal
They're always asking for more

Praise the god ov war
They're fighting fire with fire
Driven by greed 'til their final hour
Praise the god ov war
Recklessly pulling the strings
Jesters posing as kings
Praise the god ov...
Praise the god ov...
The god ov war

Ally or enemy, it's death or victory
Judgement day
As you sow, you shall reap; Beware
Triumph and tragedy, repeating history
Judgement day
Can't escape man's destructive ways

Which side are you on?
As you sow, you shall reap; Beware
I refuse to be part of this dance, to perpetuate hate
Break the cycle
Laid to waste
Raining bombs and bullets
The sky is falling down
Can't escape man's destructive ways
Reaper leaf by my side, I fight the good fight
Maverick for life
Through darkness comes the light

They're fighting fire with fire
When will it end?
Will there be survivors?
Praise the god ov war
Watch it all burn from the sidelines
Still ignoring the signs
Praise the god ov war

Our world reduced to ashes like slow burning paper
We're playing with matches
Our world reduced to ashes like slow burning paper
Running out of chances
Driven by madness, return to nothing
Dead in the eye
Dead in the eye
Would you swear on your life?
