Tank War Machine Lyrics
1.(He Fell in Love with a) Stormtrooper

Why does everybody laugh? They just won't understand
When she walks down the street why they're tearing apart a poor
broken heart
She's the nicest woman you could meet She don't know what he's
supposed to be fighting for
She don't know that it's the last thing he'll say to this world
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper, He fell in love with a
Stormtrooper, He fell in love with a Stormtrooper, He fell in
love with a Stormtrooper
He's always spewing his guts out, he knows it won't stop He
always gets the bottle but not the last drop
He gets out of the sun and the enemy lines but no one knows what
he does between the landmines
He don't know what he's supposed to be fighting for
He don't know that it's the last thing he'll say to this world
You bet'cha
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper, He fell in love with a
Stormtrooper, He fell in love with a Stormtrooper,
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper.... Yes he did, yes he did
Why does everybody laugh? They just wont understand
When she walks down the street why they're tearing apart a poor
broken heart
she's the nicest woman you could meet she don't know what he's
supposed to be fighting for
She don't know that it's the last thing he'll say to this world
He fell in love with a Stormtrooper, He fell in love with a
Stormtrooper, He fell in love with a Stormtrooper, He fell in
love with a Stormtrooper


2.The War Drags Ever On

A war is raging that we don't understand
And I doubt that we can
There's no mistaking the mad sons of Islam
As they spill blood on the sand
A strange religion, that destroys through the Koran
Freedom's lost in this land
Hades or heaven. they're under it's command
Whaterever rights had a man

We'll hear the bomb blasts round' the world
With two world wars passed they want to start the third
As they argue 'bout the planes they shot down
And count the dead they have found
An unholy war that's raising hell to the ground

The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
ever on

An arm is severed with a gun still in it's hand
And it's just left to be damned
Their main endeavour has not gone as it was planned
Shoot the boys where they stand
War is forever but as if we had the time
To change their thoughts in their minds
This war will never reflect on all their kind
They should be glad just to die

We'll hear the bomb blasts round' the world
With two world wars passed they want to start the third
As they argue 'bout the planes they shot down
And count the dead they have found
An unholy war that's raising hell to the ground

The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
ever on


A war is raging that we don't understand
And I doubt that we can
There's no mistaking the mad sons of Islam
As they spill blood on the sand
A strange religion, that destroys through the Koran
Freedom's lost in this land
Hades or heaven. they're under it's command
Whaterever rights had a man

We'll hear the bomb blasts round' the world
With two world wars passed they want to start the third
As they argue 'bout the planes they shot down
And count the dead they have found
An unholy war that's raising hell to the ground

The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on


The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on


3.This Means War

Now living here just ain't good enough for those of you wearing
red ties
Just you breating makes our leaders rush to the shelters still
watching the skies
I'll feed off your vilest dreams it's not as bad as it seems
It's now or never as I'm left with these mouths to feed
I wanna see all those rivers bleed
Do you know just what this means...war!
They think that we don't know what's going on
With all their satelliteski spies it don't matter where they're
coming from
Do we still have to give up our lives?
I'll feed off your vilest dreams it's not as bad as it seems...
Cos it's now or never as I'm left with these mouths to feed
I wanna see all those rivers bleed
Do you know just what this means...war!
This means war, this means war, this means war, this means war
Get out of my way mother...
Don't it seems stupid that we're sitting here and soon there'll
be nothing left
We can't go on pretending that we're unaware and laughing in the
face of death
I'll feed off your vilest dreams it's not as bad as it seems...
Cos it's now or never as I'm left with these mouths to feed
I wanna see all those rivers bleed
Do you know just what this means...war!
This means war, this means war, this means war, this means war


4.Echoes of a Distant Battle

Flame on! They're coming down from the hills
Attacking from both sides... they're closing in for the kill
it's only a matter of time...
We're running out of ammo fast we must stand at the line, every
man to the last
They're all around us, so no get away each and every hour, it
goes on all day
Use the blade and run them through... with no shot left, what
else can we do
Where are they coming from?
Echoes of a distant battle... echoes, echoes of a distant
battle... echoes
They're saluting us as warriors there's hardly a man alive...
They disappear in a cloud of dust and attack for the last
time...
We're running out of ammo fast we must stand at the line, every
man to the last
They're all around us, so no get away each and every hour, it
goes on all day
Use the blade and run them through... with no shot left, what
else can we do
Where are they coming from?
Echoes of a distant battle... echoes, echoes of a distant
battle... echoes
They came down from the hills attacked from both sides
They closed in for the kill hit us for the last time
We're running out of ammo fast we must stand at the line, every
man to the last
They're all around us, so no get away each and every hour, it
goes on all day
Use the blade and run them through... with no shot left, what
else can we do
Where are they coming from?
Echoes of a distant battle... echoes, echoes of a distant
battle... echoes.


5.Phoenix Rising

Phoenix Rising
And the cradle will rock and all the world's my stage
Yes the cradle will rock and all the world's my stage
As the dream comes alive, hunters are on the prowl
As you cling to the past now's the time's the hour
You and I could be enemies (anywhere)
All we see is light
There is a world you will never see.

We scream the phoenix is rising
We scream as the world goes to war.

Can you see in your mind all the things we've lost?
When the bible is torn from the man who had it all
It's the greatest of lies now you hear my voice
Screamin' so loud so loud above the noise
You and I are magical
Yes you and I can fly
You and I are magical.

We scream the phoenix is rising
We scream as the world goes to war.

You feel the power of the hunter creepin' up on you
But there's nothing you can do
You feel the past calling its crawling its deep inside your mid.
Its over and over and now the ends in sight.

And the cradle will rock and all the world's my stage
Yes the cradle will rock and all the world's my stage
As the dream comes alive, hunters are on the prowl
As you cling to the past now's the time's the hour
You and I could be enemies (anywhere)
All we see is light
There is a world you will never see.

We scream the phoenix is rising
We scream as the world goes to war.
You and I are magical
Yes you and I can shine
Always believe in your world.


6.Feast of the Devil

Feast Of The Devil
I have crossed the bridge that leads to shadows
I have chased the nightmare to the end
I have sailed the seven seas of wonder
Left a trail of misery behind
If it all goes wrong will you hear the song I'm singing?
If it all goes wrong will we hear the church bells ringing out?

We'll dance of the feast of the devil
We'll dance at his feast.

Careful what you wish for when you are dreaming
We all can see the fantasies with time
Don't believe a word that they are saying
Hide behind the circles of you mind
If it all goes wrong will you hear the song I'm singing?
If it all goes wrong will we hear the church bells ringing out?

We'll dance of the feast of the devil
We'll dance at his feast.

Tick tock the end is drawing nearer
And we are filled with doubt.

Now we've seen what happens to the liars
Now we know the guilty will survive
Come with me I can make you holy
In this world of make believe. Surprise!
If it all goes wrong will you hear the song I'm singing?
If it all goes wrong will we hear the church bells ringing out?

We'll dance of the feast of the devil
We'll dance at his feast.


7.Honour and Blood

Are those ours, over head why can't they shoot the enemy instead
We took the King's shilling for killing the hun
Over there, they must be blind they think we're singing songs to
pass time
Walking through land mines ain't really much fun
Seeing those blue skies reminds me of home
They seem to forget we're made of flesh, blood and bone
But we didn't come here to die on our own to be remembered in a
tower of stone
For their honour for their honour and their blood, honour and
blood
See the fear in our eyes they kick us to make sure we're still
alive
To fulfill the duty of shooting someone if I were dead I'd
understand
But I never thought that I could kill a man
Maybe tomorrow I won't see the sun
Seeing those blue skies reminds me of home
They seem to forget we're made of flesh, blood and bone
But we didn't come here to die on our own to be remembered in a
tower of stone
For their honour for their honour and their blood, honour and
blood
Are those ours, over head why can't they shoot the enemy instead
We took the King's shilling for killing the hun
Over there, they must be blind they think we're singing songs to
pass time
Walking through land mines ain't really much fun
Seeing those blue skies reminds me of home
They seem to forget we're made of flesh, blood and bone
But we didn't come here to die on our own to be remembered in a
tower of stone
For their honour for their honour and their blood, honour and
blood


8.Great Expectations

Great Expectations
Lords in their chambers they're handing out favours
They only answer to God
Watching the bankers the second rate chancers
Driving us into the ground.

There's a sign on his door says 'Don't come in'
What's he doing in there with his nistress?
There's a sign on the door
Experience for sale
There's a sign on the door. I'm gonna get ya.

We had Great Expectations
But you all let us down
We had Great Expectations
You just let us down.

Priests and their morals sing Christmas carols
While drinking the communion wine
Mix up the story we know of Heaven and glory
See the blind leading blind.

There's a cross on the wall and a purple gown
It's a story we know only too well
There's a cross on the wall, and a candle bright
There's a cross on the wall but it just ain't right.

We had Great Expectations
But you all let us down
We had Great Expectations
You just let us down.

Here comes the young man fathering children
He'll never see as they grow
Watching the young girl dancing for money
Swinging her legs round a pole.

Forgotten child if you head goes wild
Forgotten child of despair
Forgotten child gotta rise above
If you gotta get crazy
Get high on love.

We had Great Expectations
But you all let us down
We had Great Expectations
You just let us down down down.


9.T.W.D.A.M.O.

Love is like dragging your balls across barbed wire
She rehearses every day from a hang glider she had a wrestling
bout
With a trope of local sea scouts got them all in a pool of mud
All the time wearing boxing gloves you can hear them crying from
the third floor above
That''s what dreams are made of...
She wears pit boots, woodbines and loves being dirty
Her bank manager plays dog says wood and don''t hurt me
You''ve seen her magazines how the hell does she keep her teeth
clean
Doing something that''s loosely termed love all the time wearing
boxing gloves
She''s got the cheek to say she''s on a mission from God
That''s what dreams are made of...
You''ve seen her magazines how the hell does she keep her teeth
clean
Doing something that''s loosely termed love all the time wearing
boxing gloves
She''s got the cheek to say she''s on a mission from God
That''s what dreams are made of...


10.Power of the Hunter

Hold on to your toupees!
The end is coming closer now every word is said in spite
They ain't getting any younger they're too old to live by the
knife
Can't you see it in their eyes can't you see it in their eyes
Their sick and tired of waiting now the hunters on the attack
Before they started fighting they knew damn well, they're not
coming back
Can't you see it in their eyes can't you see it in their eyes
Don't believe it, look behind get your arse out of there, run
for your life
Feel the power of the hunter...
So many of them wasted they'll never know what war's about
Those we loved, now are hated now all hell is breaking out
Can't you see it in their eyes can't you see it in their eyes

Don't believe it, look behind get your arse out of there, run
for your life
Feel the power of the hunter...

And now that's over we'll never know how many died

At the tomb of the unknown soldier I hope the cowards are
satisfied

Can't you see it in their eyes can't you see it in their eyes

Don't believe it, look behind get your arse out of there, run
for your life
Feel the power of the hunter...


11.Judgement Day

Judgement Day
Yours is such a heavy load I watch you bend
Carry me a little more I'll be your very end
Then slowly unfold me and I will shine
You love yet you loathe me
I am divine.

All that's good gets swept away
All that's evil will have its day.

See the tears of the lost and lonely
Hear the fears as they cry in shame
See the tears of the lost and lonely
As they march to Judgement Day.

Empty head and empty heart I watch you crawl
With Judas as your only guide I watch you fall
So slowly unfold me and I will shine
You love yet you loathe me
I am divine.

All that's good gets swept away
All that's evil will have its day.

See the tears of the lost and lonely
Hear the fears as they cry in shame
See the tears of the lost and lonely
As they march to Judgement Day.

Let's drink the wine from timeless years and if you dare
To wipe away those bitter tears that keep you here.
