Bitter Peace Lyrics by Slayer

Soundtrack to the Apocalypse

1998

[Verse 1]
Initiate blood purge
Coalition in massacre
Mechanized, high-tech
Wholesale death in effect
Mutually assured
Destruction will occur
Genocide revised
Same pain through diverse eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't stop the warring factions
Can't stop the warring factions
Can't stop the warring factions

[Chorus 1]
Hostile from the start
Always war, always
Ending bitter peace

[Verse 2]
Not the last third war
Blood spills forevermore
Patriot hard line
Lay siege till the end of time

[Bridge 1]
No longer kill your brother
Just slaughter one another
Watch for the deadly other
This sibling is a fucker

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't stop the warring factions
Can't stop the warring factions

[Chorus 2]
Global tension starts aggression
Peace breaks out, then
Breeds contempt, unrest

[Lead: Hanneman/King]

[Verse 3]
Without a reason to fight
A time to kill
Sick lust for skeletal flesh
A taste for all decay
Enter the soldier blind
Stalking the faceless hunt
There is no conscience in this world
That can be reached for peace

[Verse 4]
Why face the human question?
The need to hate
Dead stare through cynical eyes
A trust in only pain
Murder within the skin
Engrave the art of war
Become death's vile parade
March on, embrace the violent mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't stop the warring factions
Can't stop the warring factions

[Chorus 2]
Global tension starts aggression
Peace breaks out, then
Breeds contempt, unrest

[Outro]
One cryptic reason for life: murder
