    Bite, the bullet,
    Break, the throne,
    Take your sword and,
    Ram, it home,
    Kill the King,
    And steal, the crown,
    It’s time for them,
    To all kneel down,


    Scars, raised, across your cheek,
    Cuts, old, remind you,
    Time has gone to remain meek,
    You think you’ve something to do,

    You can’t make them understand,
    Your words mean nothing to them,
    Wipe them from our memories,
    So they can’t hurt you again,

    Prisoner of war,
    Do you still remember what you came here for?
    Broken, time to end,
    Do you still have a heart? This is cold revenge,
    Lift your weapons high,
    But life is still a lie,

    Shadow in the night-time,
    Make your way to Hell,
    To open the doors to Heaven’s land,
    Release them at your peril,

    Somehow they will feel your pain,
    Somehow you will make them,
    Hear them scream for mercy,
    They won’t hurt you again,

    Prisoner of war,
    Do you still remember what you came here for?
    Broken, time to end,
    Do you still have a heart? This is cold revenge,
    Lift your weapons high,
    But life is still a lie,

    You sold your soul,
    And it’s taken its toll,
    Little soldier, in your eyes,
    You’re the thing you most despise,
    Just listen to their cries,

    Bite, the bullet,
    Break, the throne,
    Take your sword and,
    Ram, it home,


    When the place comes down, (Kill, the king)
    Will you be around? (And steal, the crown)
    Little soldier boy, (It’s time for them)
    Look what you’ve destrooooooooyed!!! (To all kneel down)

    Prisoner of war,
    Do you still remember what you came here for?
    Broken, time to end,
    Do you still have a heart? This is cold revenge,
    Lift your weapons high,
    But life is still a lie,

    And if your life is just a lie,
    Little soldier boy,
    Are you prepared to die?

    No tune. The long 'destroyed' just felt appropriate

    Really beautiful and deep lyrics! I´m not exactly sure about meaning but when I was reading it I visualized a sole survivor little soldier boy standing on a battlefield and thinking. Great one!

    If I'm honest, I wasn't sure about the meaning to begin with and then it surged into the story of a young boy forced to fight war and hating the killers and then when he's older going after the men who forced him into it thus becoming like the men he hated...... but that's really difficult to get into a song!!! :P
    Glad you liked it
