War Feeds War Lyrics

This phantom thought divides us
The fearsome warriors
A god so jealous
Obscures the great divine
This pain is endless
This world's insane
This war is fed by war
Since fate is in love with hate

The seventh sign reveals the end
Warrior
When death aligns with mars, my friend
Warrior
There once was a time
We rode side by side
But now it's gone
(War feeds war)

Behold there's
A pale horse
The fourth appears

Meet old father death

Furthermore down
They'll drag me down
Furthermore down
I'll bring them down

And then for a moment
It seemed
They could survive
Seven seals, we're all blind
Will it ever be the same?
Will I touch this final flame?
Will I be on my own?
Or is there anyone
Who knows?

Hope is there knowledge?
How can I pass this gate?
Be aware and now awake
In oblivion

Warrior
Warrior
They all come crawling
The black swarm crawls in
From beyond
The ancient foe descends

Cover art for War Feeds War lyrics by Blind Guardian

(If you're from the future, then perhaps these lyrics have been corrected to what I originally added, i.e. NOT those for "Another Holy War" from "Imaginations".)

From the liner notes by Markus Heitz (author of "The Dark Lands"):

"WAR FEEDS WAR" With the help of Lucifer and a couple of angels, the first horseman held his three brothers spellbound in a prison in order to save humankind from a much too early end. This was just the beginning, For the dispute about whether or not humans deserved their doom kept on raging between heaven and hell and both sides had their arguments. The first horseman, however, was struck by his brother's curse -- as retaliation for his deed.
