This World
Eternal Echoes: A World Crafted in Warfare
Lyrics
For centuries and centuries
Reflecting on a long period of time, possibly the speaker's existence over centuries.
I walked along their battlefields
Describing the speaker's presence on historical battlefields.
Rotten flesh and burned soil
Depicting the aftermath of war with decaying bodies and scorched earth.
Is all what they have left
Highlighting the devastation of war, emphasizing the minimal remains.
A strange desire for destruction
Observing a peculiar inclination towards destruction in these areas.
Can be felt at all these places
Noting the pervasive sense of this destructive desire across various locations.
An awful waste of resources
Condemning the excessive use of valuable resources for warfare.
All for their killing machinery
Criticizing the development and use of deadly military technology.
A world all made of battlefields
Describing the entire world as a collection of battlefields.
A world all drowned in blood
Portraying a world deeply immersed in bloodshed and violence.
A world which will not last forever
Asserting the impermanence of this violent world.
Is all that we have got
Emphasizing the limited nature of what humanity has created.
A world all made of battlefields
Reiterating the global prevalence of battlefields.
A world all built for wars
Characterizing the world as designed for continuous warfare.
And now we take the battlefields
Announcing the expansion of conflict beyond Earth, reaching the stars.
Far out to the stars
They get better year by year
Noting advancements in warfare capabilities over time.
With a frightening efficiency
Highlighting the efficiency and effectiveness of modern weaponry.
Killing thousands in one strike
Describing the devastating impact of advanced weaponry, capable of mass destruction.
By pushing just one button
Emphasizing the ease with which destruction can be wrought through technology.
So I have been everywhere
Detailing the speaker's extensive travels across different terrains.
From the jungle to the mountain
Enumerating diverse environments impacted by past conflicts.
And even in the deepest sea
Mentioning the signs of war even in the deepest parts of the ocean.
I saw the signs of a past war
Conveying the enduring evidence of wars through various regions.
