Lyrics
Marching through relentless heat
Sand underneath bare feet
An iron leash from neck to neck
The whip will spur them on
Across the land from dusk ‘till dawn
No lull on this demanding trek
Heaving organic matter dying in the sun
There are limits to man’s tenacity
One stumbles and falls, now a dead weight
An extra strain upon the backs of those who remain
But on they walk, they must bear the burden
Until they meet their fate
One thousand years of bloodshed
And one thousand more
One thousand men of sacrifice
To endless war
War!
Conquer and enslave
Blood upon the sand
Enduring as the ripples on this still sea
Abyssal torment
Fight to live, fight to survive
Even though they know
They are fuel for the war machine
Which consumes men
March to the rhythm of the dead
And so the wheels grind again
One thousand years of bloodshed
And one thousand more
One thousand men of sacrifice
To endless war
Sand underneath bare feet
An iron leash from neck to neck
The whip will spur them on
Across the land from dusk ‘till dawn
No lull on this demanding trek
Heaving organic matter dying in the sun
There are limits to man’s tenacity
One stumbles and falls, now a dead weight
An extra strain upon the backs of those who remain
But on they walk, they must bear the burden
Until they meet their fate
One thousand years of bloodshed
And one thousand more
One thousand men of sacrifice
To endless war
War!
Conquer and enslave
Blood upon the sand
Enduring as the ripples on this still sea
Abyssal torment
Fight to live, fight to survive
Even though they know
They are fuel for the war machine
Which consumes men
March to the rhythm of the dead
And so the wheels grind again
One thousand years of bloodshed
And one thousand more
One thousand men of sacrifice
To endless war
