War Lyrics by Sol Invictus

Once Upon a Time

2014

[Verse 1]
Tell of the birth
Tell how war appeared on earth
Thunder and herbs
Conjugated sacred verbs
Musicians with gongs
They fertilised an egg with song
Asleep in the sphere
Her foetus was a knot of fear
Butted with her horn
She split an egg and war was born
Miracle of hate
She banged her spoon against her plate

[Bridge]
Upon her spoon this motto
Wonderfully designed:
"Violence
Completes the partial mind"

[Verse 2]
Stacking the bones
On the empty aerodrome
Tinted turtle green
She haunts the slender submarine
She shakes her bloody locks
Over the deserted docks
Come follow me
Out of dark obscurity
Follow my torch
Pilgrims at the double march
Through meadows and seas
Abattoirs and libraries
The pilgrims increase
Boasting they are led by peace

[Pre-Chorus]
They gut huts with gusto
Pillage villages with verve
War does what she has to
People get what they deserve

[Chorus]
People get what they deserve
People get what they deserve
People get what they deserve
People get what they deserve
War
People get what they deserve
War
People get what they deserve
War
People get what they deserve
War
People get what they deserve
War
War
War
War
War
