Master of war

A personal point of view on how we enslave our selves to the war machine!

 

Master of war

 

Raise up

Stand up high

Don’t you forget, you are mine

Wave… after wave

And you are just another slave

 

Come on soldiers into my war

Come on soldier move it more

 

Mines under your feet

Booby traps in the street

Hanging by a string

And you love me when I sing

 

Master of disaster

Master of war

I am leading to disaster

Get ready for war

 

Come on people build more tanks

Come on people into my hands

 

Soldiers fighting in the front

Starving children in the bunk

Hearing news of your sons

Breaking news of the new guns

 

Master of disaster

Master of war

I am leading to disaster

Get ready for war

 

Come on child play no more

It’s your time to face the war

 

Little child

Little child

Don’t you leave mamas side

Rockets over sky

Bombs blow your mind

Still you learn what I say

 

Master of disaster

Master of war

I am leading to disaster

Get ready for war

“Get ready for war”

 

“Yeah”

 

Raise up

Stand up high

Don’t you forget, you are mine

Wave… after wave

And you are just another slave

Just another slave

Just another slave

I guess this is also old, but I mean come on! We can't be slaves for ever!

By the way, when are we going to hit the streets again and sing and have some away time from work?

i agree w c., this sounds like a track to a metal band and i really like all the verses u put in it!

[Raef C. Boylan]

Reads a bit like lyrics to a heavy metal track...maybe Slayer or similar, because you have a repeated verse acting like a chorus, and repetition to make your point, and emphasise certain lines by speaking them.
How you've expressed some of this is great, but another thing that makes it like lyrics is that some things seem to be redundant points, and other things seem to have been written solely to fit the rhyme scheme...when it's music though, people either nmerely accept this, or hail it as genius. Weird world, huh?
Your description says that this is old; I don't know if that refers to the topic or to when you wrote it, but there's no need to apologise, because your piece is pretty good, and compared to a lot of songs about the war, the concept is original and exciting.

Overall, good work and thanks for entering it in my contest.
Just to check: yo'd protest against war in general/a certain war - or is there a specific aspect pointed to here that I've missed, the age at which people are sent to fight for example?
