Belly of the Beast Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You walk this earth without a heart
You tear the innocent souls apart
You shovel your conscience into the grave
You walk this earth without a heart
Your uniform couldn't be taken off
A tattoo burned into your flesh
Your mind, your voice
These are your instruments of death

[Verse 2]
How could you dare to be so bold?
You only did as you were told
Marionettes dancing in time
To the apologetic lines
For all the monsters of our time

[Pre-Chorus]
Who is evil, who is blind?
In the name of who you'll find

[Chorus]
A city of souls dying for peace
Welcome to the belly of the beast
One mind, one voice
Welcome to the belly of the beast
Who hears your voice?

[Post-Chorus]
Millions, never, never again
Madness, never, never again
Martyrs, dead that can't die
Monsters

[Verse 3]
Insanity, the normal state
The left hand a hammer, the right the stake
Driven so deep into the heart
It's killing love, it's killing faith
It's killing 'cause it's from the heart
What better way to demoralize
When your own children are your spies?
The things you trust are not the same
Trust in death, trust in grief, trust in hope is trust in pain

[Pre-Chorus]
Who is evil, who is blind?
In the name of who you'll find

[Chorus]
A city of souls dying for peace
Welcome to the belly of the beast
One mind, one voice
Welcome to the belly of the beast
Who hears your voice?

[Post-Chorus]
Millions, never, never again
Madness, never, never again
Martyrs, dead that can't die
Monsters

[Guitar solo]

Who is evil, who is blind?
In the name of who you'll find
You're not supposed to question faith
But how do you accept this faith?

[Bridge]
Millions, you walk this earth without a heart
Madness, tear the innocent souls apart
Martyrs, shovel your conscience into the grave
Monsters

[Chorus]
A city of souls dying for peace
Welcome to the belly of the beast
One mind, one voice
Welcome to the belly of the beast
Who hears your voice?
This is the belly of the beast
And all the souls dying for peace
Inside the belly of the beast

[Post-Chorus]
Millions, never, never again
Madness, never, never again
Martyrs, dead that can't die
Monsters
