Dogs of War
(Part One: The Fence)
(Verse One)
No one will have enough power
To match up to the mistakes
That we both conjured up
So stare at the albatross
As your ship sinks
Think of your survival plans
No one's going to rescue you
In the middle of the ocean
It's only up to you
(Chorus)
We are no dogs of war
I will not stand for fighting
We are canine driven
There will always be fighting
(Verse Two)
Life is stuck in stasis
The first dog to jump gets killed
Staring at the birds flying above
The white doves send signals to your brain
You take that as a good thing
I take it as the end
I want to break from the machine
But the world is so against me
Unless I'm in the fence
(Chorus)
We are no dogs of war
I will not stand for fighting
We are canine driven
There will always be fighting
(Verse Three)
If I want to live the way I want to
I have to fight like a hell hound
I have to destroy this fence
Tonight's the night that I break free
The dogs will forever be out
And it will all be thanks to me
So now is the time to tear down the fence
Go wherever to my heart's content
Now it's time for us to be-
(Part Two: The Authority)
(Verse Four)
So naive, you little creature
Suffocated by your own desire
Rooted from deep within
We control the fence, dying one
We are the authority of the world
We control the masses
(Chorus: Mockery)
You are a dog of war
All you do is fight
Wild, insane, an uptight
There will always be fighting
Nature is to fight to survive
Over every little supply
Over every tiny strippings of meat
There will always be fighting
There will always be fighting
There will always be
You will not get what you seek
We offer everything you need
While in the fence, you are safe
But be defiant, your light, I break
This was your biggest mistake
Authority will always take
Your rights; you put them at stake
There will always be fighting
There will always be fighting
There will always be
(Part Three: The Uprising)
(Verse Five)
Do I not deserve to be happy?
Shaking on the ground
Fighting to live
"No one's going to rescue you
In the middle of the ocean
It's only up to you"
(Breakdown)
So I spring up!
The last dying fits of freedom
Yell; "Rise against, my friends!"
And the dogs all sprang up
And attacked the authority
And tore them down
I watched in my dying vision
As the dogs break down the suppressors
And I was happy
While I wouldn't survive
At least I'll die knowing
That they are free
(Outro)
There will be no dogs of war
