lyrics

What is this at my feet?
Washed up and torn.

A noise from inside like a gentle cry.
It stirs my curiosity.

A hand grabs my finger so tight, but soft.
A child laid bare alone and scared.

Should I dispose of you into deep?
Or be cursed forevermore?

Something overwhelming inside of me.
Possible endearment, for this little one?

I feel a warm embrace, there's light across the way.
This is a gift of hope.

What could I do? A soldier.
I'm not a matriarch for this little one.

I could try my best to raise a son.
I will name you Speslo.

The time for war is now! Prepare the insurrection.
An army of infected. Underneath my direction.

Any signs of our virtue? No, there's nothing to find.
Naivety, greed and power orbits around the mind.

Where do we go from here?

Give me fire, give me terror,
Give me the world to steal.

Rain down with bullets, explosions, erosion.
Bring the world to its knees.

Give me blood.

When I take over the west I will face the final test.
Maintain a law and order under a false silhouette.

Wait! I'm ahead of myself it's not the time, time, time.
I'm putting my head on the line line line.

Child soldiers. Cannon fodder.
Run, shoot, repeat. Sprint, destroy, decease.

Dance under my strings. Send a deluge of murderous things.
Make them all experience, Expiration!

Give me fire, give me terror,
Give me the world to steal.

Rain down with bullets, explosions, erosion.
Bring the world to its knees.

Raise our sights to please.
Miscreants under the king of disease.

Souls of the damned, 
we won’t blunder.

Sanctioned from above,
We march to the beat of the gallows drum.

We are thirsty,
Give us blood!
