[Verse 1]
A reign of terror takes its grip
On unsuspecting prey through violence
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Anger is the energy, basis for hate
Annihilate the enemy, no time to waste
The sweetness of victory, I pause to taste
While they lie and die in agony, such a disgrace
Anger is the energy, basis for hate
Annihilate the enemy, no time to waste
The sweetness of victory, I pause to taste
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I guess you could say that I
Bloodlust for war
Oh, I guess you could say that I
Bloodlust for war
[Chorus]
Lord, please take away thy pain
So I’ll be free to kill again
‘Cause that is what I live for
(That is what I live for)
Don’t forsake my intent
To use your conscience against you
The truth is that I bloodlust for war
[Post-Chorus]
Oh!
[Verse 2]
Oh, shattered lives are left in ruins
With no one left at all to pick up the pieces
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Nobody’s at a loss and nobody cares
Desensitized to the core, that’s what we are
War is in the air; it stinks for sure
And we couldn’t care less, we lust for more
Nobody’s at a loss and nobody cares
Desensitized to the core, that’s what we are
War is in the air; it stinks for sure
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I guess you could say that I
Bloodlust for war
Oh, I guess you could say that I
Bloodlust for war
[Chorus]
Tortured souls, nocturnal days
Eternal nights, and evil ways
Just what we’ve waited for
(That’s what we’ve waited for)
All our lives, blessed be thine
Callous, darkened heart of mine
The truth is that I bloodlust for war
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Bloodlust for war
I guess you can say that I
Bloodlust for war
[Chorus]
Lord, please take away thy pain
So I’ll be free to kill again
‘Cause that is what I live for
(That is what I live for)
Don’t forsake my intent
To use your conscience against you
The truth is that I bloodlust for war
[Outro]
Tortured souls, nocturnal days
Eternal nights, and evil ways
Just what we’ve waited for
That’s what we’ve waited for
All our lives, blessed be thine
Callous, darkened heart of mine
The truth is that I bloodlust for war
