[Verse 1]
They blame the pain on the arms race
That bled the globe for four years straight
They went to war but the war changed
This was The Great War as they say
So let's play propelled plans and flame throwers
Obtain the trains, tanks, it ain't over
Ordain the campaign for take over
Maintain your flanks or it's game over
Unchain the sword play and slay soldiers
We purvey their doomsday and reign over
A stray grenade breaks your face
And sprays in your brain gateway to a hangover
Trenches sculpted leave a torment that will never heal
Lead them bolted down for slaughter on conveyor wheels
Every country's sons and daughters know how cattle feel
Even winners lose themselves on this battlefield

[Chorus]
Legends born, born
Lives are torn, oh, oh, oh, oh
When the world, world
Goes to war, war, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Populations set to wane
Nations decay as their flags wave
No sun today, smoke from Zeppelins
Make black holes of skies gentlemen jettisoned
Sometimes I feel like the dirt walls are closing in again
The lines of sight have not been kind to many fallen men
The smells of chemicals breeds devils in my abdomen
Pretend like this is not the end
My hope becomes my medicine
I jump sending my bones to hurdle a stone's throw
Up over this cold earth, choke and then go prone
I'm met with a flame blazing holes in the ozone
Just like that my only moment of courage is postponed
But I'm pushing forward, the hell with this bell toll
Winning this thing's my only key from this hell hole
The way out's a long road paved solely in dead foes
It's their souls or mine and I'm gonna get home
[Chorus]
Legends born, born
Lives are torn, oh, oh, oh, oh
When the world, world
Goes to war, war, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]
Tensions tear tendons through despair
Heroes born and bred on this battlefield
Stand at attention and prepare
To march to your death on this battlefield
Melee a brave man parade
Blunt force maces cave on this battlefield
Sending them all to the grave
So we can walk away from this battlefield

[Chorus]
Legends born, born
Lives are torn, oh, oh, oh, oh
When the world, world
Goes to war, war, oh, oh, oh, oh
Legends born, born
Lives are torn, oh, oh, oh, oh
When the world, world
Goes to war, war, oh, oh, oh, oh
