Herald of Peace:
Ode to the bullet
hear to your herald
i will sing for peace
Ode to the battle
there is only one way
to free your soul
Ode to the bullet
it’s your best friend
and could save your life
Ode to the battle
come back victorious
or stay down on ground
Ode to the bullet
death is only one step
to find real glory
Ode to the fight
don’t be kind with the foes
they will not be
Kasni:
Lies lies lies
Guess my time has come to finally join the
fight fight fight
As they speak bout glory all I hear are mothers’ cries
So we stay in line
Some have death in their eyes
Some can’t wait to be uniformalized
Take your guns and your boots, make sure they fit well your size
Ode to the deads those who died in battle those who never came back
Ode to the daughters to the sons of Oarth the forgotten kids of war
Mother:
Come my baby come, bring some flowers for your dad
If he could see you now
I think he would be proud
But I have had enough of it
This war already stole my kid
And now you must leave
Please God don’t make me dig another grave

Kasni:
I don’t know where to go
I take a road with no | sign
I will not forget you at any | cost
because your smile is engraved in my eyes
Deep in the night cover by sand and blood
shoot against the enemies | I’ll fight for peace
Dreaming a quiet day with no | icy fear
Bullet after bullet I will fight for freedom
we will play a role in this deadly game
We Will
fight together
Blindly on the edge
of a deep dark chasm
Under my blankets
I feel pieces of me
Pieces of me
Now I must rest
tomorrow I’ll leave
Under my blankets
I hear voices that sing for me
Voices that sing

Captain:
Oh my sweet soldier dear
don’t be scared, the enemy can smell your fear
show them mercy at all
after all they are not human anymore
weapons loaded, eyes well focused
bang bang! pull the trigger shoot them dead
if you wanna survive you will have to be sure of what you’re aiming at
bang bang! kill those fuckers, prove them wrong
put your helmet on, wear your gas mask proud
there’s there’s a war to win our time is running out
Kasni:
oh my sweet mother dear
hope this finds you well, don’t you shed a tear
in a week we will leave
i will look for Aiden as long as I live
my best wishes, yours sincerely
Captain:
bang bang! make us proud, answer the call
There’s no need to be scared, we’ve all been there before
we will pray for your poor souls
Bang bang! Hide behind the barbed wire
When you’re there you will see
Dangers you won’t believe
It is time to be the hero that oarth needs
Oh my sweet soldier dear
be careful, you have to smell your enemies’ fear
they will pity you
after all you’ll be no longer human too
bang bang! let me hear your battle roar
if you wanna survive you will have to be sure of what you’re fighting for
bang bang! pack your bags it’s time to go
hope you all return hope you all come back
and if you’re gonna die you’ll die with my respect

Make It Out Alive

Captain:
Today is the day today is the day
You leave for the trenches, you leave for your fate
You valiant daughters, you courageous sons
We taught you how to be soldiers, not it’s up to you
To bring us freedom, to make them pay
To be a hero, Ythria will be scared and Oarth will rise again
Make room for our soldiers make room for our hope
They’re no longer children, they’re ready for war
Look above your heads, she’s waving goodbye
Let the queen sings her blessings from her ship in the sky
Queen:
I see you
I see through you
Valorous ones
Who’ll save all of us
I salute you
Fear no death
Fear no sufferance
Those who will fall will rise
And live again
Forever in my kingdom in the sky
Captain:
Soldiers… March!
Harv:
That’s bullshit, can’t you see this is an execution?
Their promises of glory are just a mere illusion
I had three brothers and a sister
Guess how many survived?
If we all die for our country, what is the point of the fight?
Celia:
Shut up! Who do you think you are anyway?
Nothing but a slum rat, I bet, a coward with no shame
Can’t you see we’re fighting for those who we’ve left
For our families, our freedom, our friends?
Danny:
Our friends? I never had a friend, I guess
I don’t think that I can protect who I’ve left
At home, I’ve got only a father, he’s ill, stuck in bed
Who’s gonna take care of him when I’ll be dead?
Kasni:
Hey guys, don’t be so negative I think that we can
Survive, you see, I lost a brother too, he never came back from the trenches
But if we fight together, win together, take care of each others
Maybe we’ll make it out alive
Maybe we will survive this fight

Kasni:
This is war (war!)
And I have never felt so cold
A bunch of scared children all covered in blood
A call to arms!
And I have never felt so alone
I can’t tell the difference between friend and foe
So tell me captain where to go
Shall I find shelter under corpses of my enemies
Our enemies are killing everybody around me
You didn’t tell me they could weep
I swear I’ve seen one of them cry
Is this all meant to be? How can it be?
I can’t say if this blood is even mine
This is war (war!)
And I have never felt so cold
A bunch of scared children all covered in blood
A call to arms!
And I have never felt so alone
I can’t tell the difference between friend and foe
Burn Burn Burn!
Why am I crying, what’s wrong with the air
Oh my god!
My lungs are collapsing there’s dust in my hair
Burn burn burn
I feel like I’m choking with my own last breath
This is war!
My body’s on fire but I can’t see the flames
Is this what it means to be in hell?
(soldier shoot like they said, soldier shoot him dead)
If you pull the trigger I will pull the trigger
Is this what it means to be a killer?
No I don’t want to shed your blood so please don’t
(shoot like they said, soldier shoot him dead)
I see no evil in your eyes is there evil in mines
I think it’s better if you don’t answer
Frozen in time
Who will be the first to die
Please don’t move or I will have to- BANG!
Mama, do you miss me?
I’m searching for a light that makes me feel a little close to home
Mama, do you miss me?
Here there’s only death, there’s no pride in our war
Mama are you lonely?
Do the stars above you look the same tonight
Mama, we can’t see any light in the sky
Mama do you miss me?
Here in no man’s land there’s no song keeping me company at all
Mama do you miss me?
When they died I couldn’t stop thinking about you
Mama are you lonely?
Our house was never meant to be so cold
Mama, I think they have mothers too.
