Lyrics
Ballista
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.
I toiled through mental wastelands
With a vow to avenge
Restitution through carnage
On a quest to quench the pain
Lock and load
I proposed a new beginning
We rejoiced in sworn allegiance
We wallowed in the resurrection of hope
The intent was to demolish
To trace a death refined
I shot for extinction
And aimed to leave nothing behind
Lock and load
I proposed a new beginning
We rejoiced in sworn allegiance
We wallowed in the resurrection of hope
Violence and mass destruction
All hail the violent reconstruction
The rotten stench of human debris
Distinctive trails of postwar casualties
Lock and load
I proposed a new beginning
We rejoiced in sworn allegiance
We wallowed in the resurrection of hope
Content at last, residing on bloodstained ground
And as the vapour falls and in the aftermath of combat
I close my eyes and I dream and I remember
