[Verse 1] A chasm grows In the cavity of serpentine teeth (Serpentine teeth) Hunger pangs strike For the sweet feast of innocent blood Of innocent bloodshed Now here we go [Pre-Chorus] The vampires feed on the wars of mankind The vampires feed on the wars of mankind Growing fat on the throne of an empire Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire [Chorus] I've opened up my eyes Seen the world for what it's worth Tears rain down from the sky They'll blow it all to bits To prove whose god wields all the power Fire rains down from the sky [Verse 2] The gaping wounds Hemorrhaging the blood from which they feast (Blood from which they feast) Eat us alive Consume to feed a hunger with no A hunger with no end Let's fucking go [Pre-Chorus] The vampires feed on the wars of mankind The vampires feed on the wars of mankind Growing fat on the throne of an empire Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire [Chorus] I've opened up my eyes Seen the world for what it's worth Tears rain down from the sky They'll blow it all to bits To prove whose god wields all the power Fire rains down from the sky [Bridge] This battle's not the same as they have led us to believe A synthesis of propaganda, terror and deceit We are the cattle; they the slaughter; our meat: gasoline They pump us through the machine's valves to cleanse the world's "disease" We are the ammunition that will cause all life to cease [Refrain] Annihilate All those who stand in their way Obliterate They'll rain their holocaust down from the sky [Pre-Chorus] The vampires feed on the wars of mankind The vampires feed on the wars of mankind Growing fat on the throne of an empire Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire [Chorus] I've opened up my eyes Seen the world for what it's worth Tears rain down from the sky They'll blow it all to bits To prove whose god wields all the power Fire rains down from the sky [Refrain] Annihilate All those who stand in their way Obliterate They'll rain their holocaust down from the sky
