Roman times, Catholic sin
Salute the last sky with a lipless grin
Ghosts remembered do it again
As the war to end all wars begins

As the war before the war...
(A Star of David spins)
As the war before the war
To end all war begins

Beowulf and the Minotaur
Stalking dusty kings
Delve into the Book of Life
Strange imaginings
In a book of revelations
Where angels lose their wings
When the seventh seal is broken
The war to end all war begins

In the Juniper's salt stripped bark
The locust crying sings in the dark
There's a hole in the sky
Where time gets in
And sun and rain
And the wind begin
It's everything you've ever wanted everything
It's everything you've ever wanted everything

Beware the Beast in the final hour
Wheels no longer turning
How do we withstand this power
Babylon is burning
A thief in the night in the fall of Rome
Strikes in the Colleseum
The Merchants slam their message home
But no one will, no one will believe them
In the war before the war...
(A Star of David spins)
As the war before the war
To end all war begins.
