A Farewell To Arms Lyrics - The Blackening - Machine Head

Can you hear their cries? 

Nowhere the children run to hide 

Crimson rivers flow down hills, atone our ills 

And woe to all her songs of love 

A farewell to arms 

Mutilated lives blackening as coffin line the sides 

Filled with fathers 

Who has won when only sons 

Who hold their grieving heads and mourn 

A farewell to arms 

Always our souls entwine 

Erase this vast divide 

Deaf ears our voices rest 

Tyrant, this is protest 

Who has won? 

Yes, who has won?

I'll wave this flag of white 

So the avenged see the light 

We'll pay for closed eyes 

Before genocide 

Pissing the masquerade 

March to the death parade 

Trade not humanity 

For pearls of the slavery 

In the depth of mind the heart will find 

The truth of our leaders 

We'll try the facts so through the cracks 

May fall the lying cheater 

Who has won when we're all dead? 

I'll wave this flag of white 

So the avenged see the light 

We'll pay for closed eyes 

Before genocide 

So is this how we live? 

Or is this how we die? 

Black blood dripping from platinum fangs 

Rich blood flees while 

Our poverty hangs, oh 

Oh, shepherds, they herd the mindless trance 

As the flock follows the puppet's dance 

In a fatal romance 

Oh, all that they needed was 

A pretext, war's next 

Heads to the chopping blocks 

And our necks are next 

For those who died 

Who fought for our rights 

Whose children now slaves 

They're turning in their graves 

Oh, war hawks and senators 

They sit right so trite 

Never their sons will know 

What it's like to fight 

Soldiers are dead 

And children have bled 

And the silence is numb 

What have we become? 

What have we become? 

What have we become? 

What have we become? 

God save us 

A farewell to arms
