Calm before the storm is just quote that can't portray
Nerves that shudder with the magnitude of an earthquake
Hours pass I feel a stillness I can hardly bear
Sighs to soon be broken resonating in the air
Lost in the endless fog
Of silence and warfare
Lost in the smoke that never clears
armistice evades our years
Exhale slow and you'll see memories lasting forever
Time fools even the wise grains of sand will fall forever
Drowning in remorse as untold death haunts you forever
I can't stress in words how tides of war end life forever
Lost in the endless fog
Of silence and warfare
Lost in the smoke that never clears
Conflict always perseveres
Sighs will soon be broken hope
Track with guilt and snare the rope
Lead the hunt with useless pills
Seize the moment die or kill
End the pain with one small step
Out of reach the mocking floor
Once a soldier now a shadow
Painted on the basement door
Battlescars decorate
Shattered minds full of hate
Prison bars permeate
Sanity now betrays
Enemy targeted
Orders call from within
Lock and load I descend
My own life I will end
Lock and load the voices die
Only option suicide
(for a better world)
Lock and load all warriors
Self-inflict the only hope
(for a better world)
No compassion for the world left devastated
Human ammunition, your demise is calculated
Queue the harbingers of global violence and contempt
Corpses masturbate the killing fields in time well spent
Lost in the endless fog
Of silence and warfare
Lost in the smoke that never clears
Past becomes the greatest fear
