Cover art for It Is That Way lyrics by Corrosion Of Conformity

My take on it was that there was an apocalypse or a war "Nothing left its genocide" and he is the opposing side which is why he is saying "Cause you lost the battle and the war So what are you still standing here for!" and "It is that way because it is" is just the reason for the event, because there is none it's just that way.
