Internal Warfare Lyrics

Would anybody dare to know the answer?
Would anybody dare to face the truth?
We bide the time awaiting our answers
To our kind

We're all in this apocalypse together
The horror we so feared can't be undone
We all remove allegiance to disaster
Tragic crime

Life we used to know
Ends where silence comes to us forever (forever)
Night will soon bestow
Justice on a day that never ends (never ends)

The piercing eyes of bullets' shine run faster
Than peace and understanding can conceive
To use and to deceive, to teach a lesson
Cross the line

Life we used to know
Ends where silence comes to us forever (forever)
Night will soon bestow
Justice on a day that never ends (never ends)

I'm a true believer
A soldier with a gun
I shall swipe the Earth clean
Won't take long

Te deplangemus
Haud resistentes
A te vexati
Manebimus

I must trust my instinct
And act on his behalf
My ship is full with water
But won't go down

Life we used to know
Ends where silence comes to us forever (forever)
Night will soon bestow
Justice on a day that never ends (never ends)

Dedicated to the victims of Anders Breivik

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I believe, if not mistaken, this song is about the Norwegian massacre... a horrifying tragedy. It makes sense if you look at the lyrics.
