The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare - Chris Benstead

The water's edge is where she waits Lost soul still wandering Meant to die But she's stuck not crossing over The other side is where he waits His spirit reaching out Meant to save But she's too scared to take his hand Living in a world without you Drowning in the past Is living in no world at all So now I call on you Remember me, I gave you life You would not take it Your suffering was all in vain It's almost over now Don't turn your back on paradise Feeling scared She's prepared to give up everything She can't stand To feel like half of her is fading He will choose the only way To rid her of her pain Take her soul now The decision has been made Living in a world without love A burden to my soul Is living in a worthless world So I will call on you Remember me, I gave you life You would not take it Your suffering was all in vain It's almost over Remember me, you were so young How could I tell you? Remember me, I am the one Who saved your life that night I was the one Who would not abandon you Even in death I was the one Who would not leave you I used my freedom to protect you And all the while direct you Do you remember me this time? Even in death I gave you life I gave you life I wanted to deserve a place A place beside you This time when I reached out my hand It reached all the way to heaven Remember me, I gave you life You would not take it Your suffering was all in vain It's almost over now Goodbye It's almost over now Goodbye It's time I release you from this life Don't turn your back on paradise

1914 How peculiar, that a single bullet Can trigger a chain of events That will change the world forever Nations will be torn part Empires will fall And an entire continent will be set ablaze In the wake of this event Alliances are triggered in a chain reaction Resulting in a war That sweeps across Europe Like a merciless plague Armies will destroy the land Soldiers dig endless trenches And the shells will leave scars on earth For generations to come We will also see the birth Of some of the most devastating inventions Mankind have ever conceived Born in factories Delivered by engineers Immune to bullets of the regular solider Unbothered by the burdens of the land The Tank The Future of Warfare Standing in the line of fire 32 will lead the way Coming over trench and wire Going through the endless grey A desolate wasteland Infernal depiction of Hell The birth of a new way September 15, 1916 The first wave approaches At Flers-Courcelette Through fire and brimstone Breaking away, coming your way Standing in the line of fire 32 will lead the way Coming over trench and wire Going through the endless grey Standing in the line of fire Moving on through the fray Coming over trench and wire Live to fight another day The spell has been broken A new way to wage war has come The future of warfare For all to be seen, 1918 The new world approaches Villers-Bretonneux Mechanized warfare Breaking away, coming your way Standing in the line of fire 32 will lead the way Coming over trench and wire Going through the endless grey Standing in the line of fire Moving on through the fray Coming over trench and wire Live to fight another day Standing in the line of fire Moving on through the fray Coming over trench and wire Live to fight another day Standing in the line of fire 32 will lead the way Coming over trench and wire Going through the endless grey Standing in the line of fire Moving on through the fray Coming over trench and wire Live to fight another day

Amoral but not evil Sick of fake democracies No one will fuck the ugly robot Samael owns history My thinking is done by your machine Can't escape the 20th century Handing in my resignation At the ministry of alienation Not heaven just California Escape with you or from it all Terraform a hostile wasteland Like the rapture in reverse My thinking is done by your machine Can't escape the 20th century Handing in my resignation At the ministry of alienation
