In Death We All March Side By Side

[Aaron Graf]

In Death We All March Side By Side




Liberties torn painfully,
Like an abortion with a coathanger.
In the name of God and prophesy,
Tears of grief will turn to anger.
We kill their people,
The press ignores,
We bomb their mosques and steeples,
Their hopes and dreams are no more.
Two nations will clash,
One will preside,
And take the glory and cash,
But all of those murdered march side by side.
You silence yourself and go overseas,
The unelected president spews out more bile,
They teach you to say yes sir, and kill enemies,
Death marches alongside of the rank and file,

Chorus: [Chorus will be a bunch of skeletons in GI gear]
Yo left! Yo left! Yo left, right, left!
Yo left! Yo left! Yo left, right, left!
Voices calling, voices crying!
Leaders lying, people dying.
You called those that oppose a fucking gay,
We come home in a box draped with a flag.
We roam the deserts forever more,
We’re the ghosts left from George Bush’s war.
Yo left! Yo left! Yo left, right, left!
Yo left! Yo left! Yo left, right, left!
[End Chorus]

Arm the planes and bomb the cities,
That’s what Mr. Bush considers pretty,
He called it “a vivid painting of joy and relief.”<br>When it’s become the new den for death and grief!
As dissenting voice begins to fade,
Corporations hold a meeting to see how much money can be made!
Something that you just don’t see,
I support the troops just not the policy!

another excellent write, what kind of music would this be set to? the chorus is pretty fucking creepy.

[Faerie]

This is amazing, the flow is awesome, and yes, what music TEXTwouldTEXT it be put to?
The chorus was quite creepy, and the verses very morbid.

Excellent set of lyrics though,
