Machine Head - A Farewell to Arms (with lyrics)

A Farewell to Arms by Machine Head from the album The Blackening with timed lyrics.




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 side,
Filled with fathers.
Who has won
When only sons
Hold their greiving heads
And mourn?

A Farewell to Arms!

Always our soulds 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
With our genocide.

Peircing the masquerade,
March to the death parade.
Trade not humanity
For pearls of our slavery.

In the depth of mind
the heart will find
the truth of our leader.

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
With our 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.

Shepherds they heard the mindless trance,
As the flock follows the puppet's dance,
in a fatal romance.

All that they needed was 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,
Are turning in their graves.

War hawks and senators,
They sit tight, so trite.
Never their sons will know what it's like to fight.

Soldiers are dead
And children have bled
And the silence if numb.

What have we become?
What have we become?
What have we become?
What have we become?

God save us!

A Farewell to Arms.

An Epic song that will be put right next to Metallica's "One" and Guns N Roses "November Rain".

[MrMetalhead1986]

I really like that there is not any negative vote.

[TheBloodlustEternal]

People say the Blackening is an overly long, overrated, stale piece of shit. I say they should pull their heads out of their asses.

[Burn462]

4 years ago today I was stood in the Ambassador, Dublin, with goose bumps all over, watching this song. Descend the shades of night was part of the set too. Can you imagine how incredible it felt.

[TrephineArtist]

A perfect song. Thinking of all the WW1 fallen today 11th november.

[GiorgisRom]
