Lyrics

(Lyrics: hanneman; music: hanneman)

Time melts away in this living inferno
Trapped by a cause that I once understood
Feeling a sickness building inside of me
Who will I really have to answer to

March on through the rivers of red
Souls drift, they fill the air
Forced to fight, behind
The crooked cross

Do only what is expected of me
With no emotions my feelings suppressed
Blind obedience carries me through it all
Conscience a word I learned to forget

March on through the rivers of red
Flesh burns, it fills the air. [sings: souls drift, they fill...]
Forced to fight, behind
The crooked cross

Lead: hanneman, king
King, hanneman

Time melts away in this living inferno
Trapped by a cause that I once understood
Blind obedience carries me through it all
Do only what is expected of me

March on through the rivers of red
Souls drift, they fill the air
Forced to fight, behind
The crooked cross

"Mandatory suicide"
(Lyrics:araya; music: hanneman, king)

Murder at your every foot step
A child's toy sudden death
Sniper blazes you thru your knees
Falling down can you feel the heat
Burn!

Ambushed by the spray of lead
Count the bullet holes in your head
Offspring sent out to cry
Living mandatory suicide
Suicide. [x 4]

Lead: hanneman

Holes burn deep in your chest
Raked by machine gun fire
Screaming soul sent out to die
Living mandatory suicide
Suicide. [x 4]

Lead: hanneman

Spoken:
Lying, dying, screaming in pain
Begging, pleading, bullets drop like rain
Mines explode, pain sheers through your brain
Radical amputation, this is insane

Fly swatter stakes drive through your chest
Spikes impale you as you're forced off the crest
Soldier of misfortune
Hunting with bated breath

A vile smell, like tasting death
Dead bodies, dying and wounded
Litter the city streets
Shattered glass, bits of clothing and human deceit
Dying ( in ) terror
Blood's cheap, it's everywhere
Mandatory suicide, massacre on the front line
