lyrics

1456
The siege of Constantinople
Where Mehmed the conqueror
Unearths his terror machine

Delivering Death
From a distance
No one escapes the blast
Bunker buster
In a cluster
A weapon from the past
Muzzle loaded
Death device
Targets the ground below
Raining down
Artillery
Colossal hammer of war

Built to murder
Built to slaughter
Built to bring chaos and scatter the flock
Built to ruin
Built to ravage
Built to end battles – Abolish the lot
Mortar Fire
Bodies are draped over barbed wire
Trenches begin to fill with blood
Fallen are trampled in the mud
Mortar Fire
Corpses form a human pyre
Exploding limbs fly through the air
Troops are trembling with fear

1464
The Dardenelles gun is invented
Bronze cast decimator
Ottoman cannon of doom

Delivering Death
From a distance
No one escapes the blast
Bunker buster
In a cluster
A weapon from the past
Muzzle loaded
Death device
Targets the ground below
Raining down
Artillery
Colossal hammer of war

Built to murder
Built to slaughter
Built to bring chaos and scatter the flock
Built to ruin
Built to ravage
Built to end battles – Abolish the lot

Mortar Fire
Bodies are draped over barbed wire
Trenches begin to fill with blood
Fallen are trampled in the mud
Mortar Fire
Corpses form a human pyre
Exploding limbs fly through the air
Troops are trembling with fear

Indirect fire
Bringing casualty
Everyday
Hellish wounds caused
Unpredictable
Shrapnel spray
No man is spared
By this heinous device

Cities turn to ash
Crumbling enemy
Boundaries
More countries build
These bazookas of
Brutality
Allies turn against one another
Inexplicably
Cratered earth
Scarred from the
Wrath of Mankind

Mortar Fire
Bodies are draped over barbed wire
Trenches begin to fill with blood
Fallen are trampled in the mud
Mortar Fire
Corpses form a human pyre
Exploding limbs fly through the air
Troops are trembling with fear
