Centuries, centuries of suffering
Centuries, centuries of blood

A worthless man, you die impaled
Centuries, centuries of suffering
Centuries, centuries of blood
Centuries, centuries of punishment
Centuries, centuries of suffering

As man evolves, so do the weapons used
Our world demise, centuries of suffering
[Solo: Alex]
Please tell me your final answer
Release the missile, drop the bombs
Mother earth lies devastated
Please no more...
