  7. A cause and a foe
    aborted their transmission with intention to violate
    Defeat together
    Release another round until you can find no trace
    We're hearing bullet after bullet
    My mind is going blank as the enemy moves to face
    Teach a lesson
    Call it intervention tearing apart this place
    Armageddon
    Turned it into Armageddon, was that your intention?
    Keep together, release another round
    The mission is now in place
    Bleed together, raise them to the ground
    Destroying the human race
    Alive with intention, fueled by our aggression
    In the end, we annihilate

    Lyrics from Die with A Bullet. By the band Headspace. Off of their 2012 album I am Anonymous.

  14. Delta Spirit: "War Machine":

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmyWPeFgdYI

    War machine you can't break me,
    you can't have the world I love.
    I lied like the government,
    pretended that pain don't exist.
    They stare down the barrel of a gun.

    War machine you can't break me,
    you can't have the world I love.
    I was so occupied, compassion I had declined.
    The first world, it always gets it's way.

    War machine you can't break me,
    you can't have the world I love.

    Watching the clock just tick,
    blockhead rhetoric.
    The life you've known is surely gone.
    They watched as their children fell,
    stories that dead men tell.
    The frontless battle rages on.

    War machine you can't break me,
    you can't have the world I love.

    War machine you can't break me,
    you can't have the world I love,
    you can't have the world I love,
    you can't have the world I love.

  15. "Blessed Are the Land Mines" - Brave Saint Saturn

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjrtYMNKzas

    Blessed are the land-mines,
    Stretched across the desert floor,
    God, bless the hands that formed them,
    Filled their shrapnel hearts with war.
    May You bless the companies,
    The goose that laid the golden egg,
    May they make a million more,
    Blowing off a million legs.
    Blessed are the black-tongued ravens,
    Substituting fear for reason:
    " To hate war is to hate us,
    If you love peace, then you must love treason."
    Beat your plowshares into swords,
    Beat your pulpits, turn your tables,
    Blessed are the hand-grenades,
    Bless the church who rattles sabers.

    This house,
    Is burning,
    This poison still is worming.
    This temple
    Will cave in
    There's nothing here worth saving.

    Nail the gold up to the altar,
    Like Ahab taunts his crew to war,
    Blessed are the shareholders,
    Lack of faith is for the poor.
    Hold your wallets to the sky,
    A temple built to soothe yourself.
    Blessed is the church who tries,
    To help you build your blessed wealth.

    Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth...
    Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy...
    Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
    --Matthew 5:5-9
