The New Gods of War Lyrics by Eric Bass

I Had A Name

2025

[Verse 1]
\nI'm a pin drop in the dark
\nThe murmur in your heart
\nThat ringing in your ear
\n
\nA worm that's tethered to a thread
\nAll sown up in your head
\nAnd feeding on your fear
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nYou've laced my innocence with rage
\nPut lightning in the cage
\nAnd see how long before
\nIt starts to...
\n
\n[Pre-Chorus]
\nRip and tear and scratch and burn
\nRip and tear and scratch and burn
\nIt is my time, it is my turn
\nRip and tear and scratch and burn
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nDrain the battery
\nHere comes the cavalry
\nThe children have no home and
\nWe are the new gods of war
\nWithin a breath
\nWill lay our final rest
\nThe children have no homе and
\nWe are the nеw gods of war
\n
\n[Interlude - Spoken]
\n"The time has come to crush this insignificant insurgency
\nNo longer will these children be able to hide in the shadows
\nLegion's vengeance will be swift
\nAnd Legion's vengeance will be final
\nAll say 'Hail Legion!'
\nAll say 'Hail Legion!'"
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nI've been living in a camp since I was seven
\nWith only my survival as a weapon
\nPulled up by my bootstraps and my heartstrings
\nAnd taking all my vitamins and beatings
\nAnd now I'm in a war that's s'posed to free me
\nCannon's in my hand but just obey me
\nA soldier for the stolen and the dead
\nAnd a fuse on the time bomb ticking in your head
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nDrain the battery
\nHere comes the cavalry
\nThe children have no home and
\nWe are the new gods of war
\nWithin a breath
\nWill lay our final rest
\nThe children have no home and
\nWe are the new gods of-
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nLandmines, landmines, one two three
\nLandmines, landmines, please just let me be
\nLandmines, landmines, eight nine ten
\nThe sound they make is the music made inside the hearts of men
\n
\n(Preacher, preacher) cut 'em till they bleed
\n(Preacher, preacher) cut 'em till they bleed
\n(Preacher, preacher) they all think they own us
\nThis must be why all children die inside the hearts of grown-ups
\n
\n[Outro]
\nWe are the new gods of war
\nWe are the new gods of war\n\n
