Dark Order Attrition Of Fear Lyrics

Attrition Of Fear Lyrics


On the cliffs of Gallipoli
Lies the scars of a long dead battle
ANZAC
soldiers were forced to fight
In a war that wasn't theirs
Youthful
warriors, searching for glory
Found nothing but a land of demise
Endless
hunger, hatred and combat
Waiting to strike one down
Thus the attrition
of fear began 
PAIN is grinding our bodies away
GREAT FEAR is driving our
minds insane
ANGUISH will never conquer us
We're fighting to the bitter
end 

Relentless attacks through No-man's Land
Left the land drunk
with blood
Scores of soldiers cut down as they charged
Slowly filling
No-man's Land
Death's stench rides the wind
Rising from rotting
corpses
Of humans who were once killers
But the fury of war had seized
their lives
Thus the attrition of fear went on 

Here, even the
boldest warriors cry out in pain
Fearing the sheer horror of being shredded
to death
Some being born as the unknown soldier
Others blown into
nothingness
Severed limbs, horrid mutilations
All the common horrors of
war! 

Solo 1 & 2: Joe 

The slain lay everywhere
Retreat was
the only solution
For the living to return home
Forever would their minds
be torn
Thus the great battle was over
The dead returned to their
homeland
They were once all gallant soldiers
How have the mighty
fallen
Thus the attrition of fear has ceased....... 

.......For
now
