Lyrics
Centuries Of Suffering
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Starting at the dawn of time, violence played its role
The male, the alpha, number one has controlled the tribe
Sticks and stones were used to kill, then moved on to blades of steel
Let the bodies lie, let the bloody bodies lie
Through the ages war sustained
Our final stand, unholy grail
Centuries, centuries of suffering
Centuries, centuries of blood
Weapons played a major part in the fall of those who fought
The evolution of the kill, more precision more refined
Desprate stages, chaos reigns
A worthless man, you die impaled
Centuries, centuries of suffering
Centuries, centuries of blood
Centuries, centuries of punishment
Centuries, centuries of suffering
What will be the final answer
Release the missile, drop the bombs
Mother earth lies devastated
Hallowed ground gets decimated
After all, every thing we do
As man evolves, so do the weapons used
Our world demise, centuries of suffering
Please tell me your final answer
Release the missile, drop the bombs
Mother earth lies devastated
Please no more
