Rellik - Before Me The Lions Weep lyrics

rate me

I throw my head back and gaze into the sky<br />

Searching for divine protection of my life<br />

I'm searching for hope and courage to fight<br />

I drop my head and gaze upon the field where the flesh of men from bone is peeled<br />

No longer can I contain this fear<br />

<br />

I charge the field screaming like a maniac<br />

The first wave falls as resistance builds to our attack<br />

Shells explode men are dashed into the sky, like our hopes to make it out alive<br />

<br />

Cold machines unforgiving<br />

Sweeping fire through our lines<br />

They are calibrated to destroy and to defy<br />

<br />

The heads of men pop like melons, the extremities coarsely severed from tendors<br />

I overlook a landscape of blood and blasted earth<br />

Drawn by the violence of men who served shell craters early tombs for the deceased<br />

Under armed the casualties steadily increase<br />

No eulogy for those brave whom to the earth their blood they gave<br />

<br />

Before these massive weapons that man has made to destroy man<br />

Courage is impossible to summon at the sight of these machines<br />

Which alone would make the mightest of lions weep<br />

<br />

The heads of men pop like melons, the extremities coarsely severed from tendors<br />

I overlook a landscape of blood and blasted earth<br />

Drawn by the violence of men who served shell craters early tombs for the deceased<br />

Under armed the casualties steadily increase<br />

No eulogy for those brave whom to the earth their blood they gave
