The third in the Damnati trilogy; this one tells the story of a soldier in modern warfare. The final trio of choruses references each song previously and concludes the concept of the album.
lyrics
~VERSE~
Will you take me?
Reach out to save me?
Or will you watch me?
You know I'm not guilty
Death clouds my eye
Killing from your lie
Forgotten we all die
Saviours question why
~CHORUS~
Feel my rage out of control
Used, abused, blindly kill all
Here me now as I scream;
Damnati! Damnation!
Yet you say this is a war?
Where are you? Do you want more?
Hear me now as I scream;
Damnati! Damnation!
~VERSE
Suddenly
Realise I can't win
My hands tainted with sin
Hell is now my twin
We are your faithful servants
Send us to hell and back again
~CHORUS~
Feel like someone's watching you?
Feel like it's someone you knew?
Pull the trigger, die at last;
But is that not the past?
Modern day does not have this
Where was justice? Was a myth
Guilty of nothing but
A way that life used to flow
Did you listen, did you know?
How we vanquished our lost foes?
Do you remember the
Lives given to let you breathe
Cry in vain, your race was spoiled
Lesson learnt, we won't be foiled
Surely in life today...
But no!
Damnati's not underground!
Damnati is still around!
Hear me now as I scream;
Damnati! Damnation!
As I fall upon the floor,
Damnati lives evermore,
Hear me now as I scream out!
Damnati! Damnation!
