- Ghosts Of War Lyrics / with translations[Lyrics: King; Music: Hanneman, King]
Fate silent warriors sleeping souls will arise.
Once forgotten soldiers come to life.
Fallen mercenary, dormancy is done,
Not content with wars we never won.
Memories can't ignore
Anguish of before
Satisfy the scorn.
Rise ghosts of war.
Target assassinate, time of your life has expired.
Hatred victimize, gaze in their eyes as they die.
Violence inflicting of pain, savage morticians deny
Drive the salt in the wound, arouse the subconscious to lie.
(Memories can't ignore
Anguish of before
Satisfy the scorn.
Rise ghosts of war.)
[LEADS: HANNEMAN, KING, HANNEMAN]
I deal in pain.
All life I drain.
I dominate.
I seal your fate.
I deal in pain.
All life I drain.
Memories can't ignore,
Rise ghost of war.
Fate silent warriors sleeping souls will arise.
Once forgotten soldiers come to life.
Fallen mercenary, dormancy is done,
Not content with wars we never won.
Memories can't ignore
Anguish of before
Satisfy the scorn.
Rise ghosts of war.
Target assassinate, time of your life has expired.
Hatred victimize, gaze in their eyes as they die.
Violence inflicting of pain, savage morticians deny
(Memories can't ignore
Anguish of before
Satisfy the scorn.
Rise ghosts of war.)
[LEADS: HANNEMAN, KING, HANNEMAN]
I deal in pain.
All life I drain.
I dominate.
I seal your fate.
I deal in pain.
All life I drain.
Memories can't ignore,
Rise ghost of war.
