Para Bellum Lyrics
Eyes of a serpent, stare at the venomous past
Spitting their lies while they keep on the course of the path
Anguish and pain, broadcasting hatred unclear
Cloak of deception hides voices of fear
Minions, they gather, nothing is holding them back
Climbing the walls for which they were sent to attack
Breaking the lines, smashing the door, lock the gates
A radical mob imposing their will and their hate
what does out future hold?
(Controlling, disowning) our rights cannot be sold
(People shout) "You will never keep us out"
Para Bellum
Para Bellum
Prepare for war
Para Bellum
What are you fighting for?
Eyes of a serpent, stare at the venomous past
Spitting their lies under the spell that's been cast
Anguish and pain, broadcasting hatred unclear
Cloak of deception, whispering voices of fear
what does out future hold?
(Controlling, disowning) our rights cannot be sold
(People shout) "You will never keep us out"
Para Bellum
Para Bellum
Prepare for war
Para Bellum
Para Bellum
Para Bellum
We can't fight no more

If you want peace, you must prepare for war
Spitting their lies while they keep on the course of the path
Anguish and pain, broadcasting hatred unclear
Cloak of deception hides voices of fear
Minions, they gather, nothing is holding them back
Climbing the walls for which they were sent to attack
Breaking the lines, smashing the door, lock the gates
A radical mob imposing their will and their hate
what does out future hold?
(Controlling, disowning) our rights cannot be sold
(People shout) "You will never keep us out"

Prepare for war
