To Cross The Line

Crossing the line
Now involved in a conflict
To calculate arsenal and relocate
Strike without a warning
Exploit the occasion, interfere
Reverse the outcome
Throwing the best into the fray
Undermining obsolete tactics
Ignite well-oiled machine
Trigger an onslaught
To protect own needs
The science of domination
Regionally based reasoning underlined

From Shield To Storm
04:31
|
|

Launching a new phase
Which marks a shift as
The desert shield is now over
Destroy the enemy radar
Guided strikes with maximum effect
The fields of fire
Annihilating resistance
At an early hour
Communications are down
Swarming now above the desert
With ease rendering the outdated foe useless
Advanced warfare, correct sighting
Laser guided modern precision
Defying the odds
Invading, a lack of common sense
With even worse timing
All alone, having only the option to dig in
Assumptions have been proven wrong
Total disarray
Low on morale
Many surrender
Without a fight
Forced into retreat
Totally devastated
Scorched earth
A major defeat

Nothing Is Free
05:00
|
|

In search of a region
A territorial dispute
There’s a need to recapture
Without knowing the cost
Invasion force
To capture the key targets
A coordinated blow
The goal has been reached
Mission successful
As the ruler has been switched
A quick response
To an undeclared war
Gathering an elite force
The glory must be restored
The plan was successful
As the ruler was finally switched
But the destination is in the horizon
At dawn comes the strike
Face the facts
As nothing comes for free
Impending action
A conflict is now in sight
With a clear advantage
Bases situated nearby
Still unable to fully defend
Against superior arms
All in vain
Face the facts
As nothing comes for free
Can't take everything for granted
Now just lay down the arms

Desperation begins to mount
It's high time, take the needed action
The source of income is again threatened
Much better to secure the supply
There's no standing aside
Distributing peace and order
The end justifies the means
Taking care of the needs
Fueling up industries
For the sake of common good
Declaring great success in a rightful way
This is new found unity
A pile of ashes and dust
Distributing peace and order
The end justifies the means
It's a modern perception of freedom
To wage war in distant locations
Always seeking for peace and order
As the end always justifies the means

Decadence
04:36
|
|
||
Hungry for power
Ridden with a disease
Spewing lies, a necessity to divide
Depending on control, causing detest
Authoritarian by nature
Thriving on money and deceit
Being as corrupt as one can get
Living in a safe zone
Free word is denied
Spreading conflicts across the region
For one's own good
Thriving on war, money and deceit
Being as corrupt as one is able to get
Paying tribute to one's own benefits
Doing favors
While getting rid of the rest
Thriving on war and deceit
Being as corrupt as one is able to get

A Crucial Factor
04:17
|
|
||
A sudden change of power
Volatile situation is worsening
Causing friction
The system is rigged
A covert operation
Object to destabilize
They incite foreign interference
To receive help from overseas
Soon finding common ground
Arming up the rebel factions
Downing aircraft
With modern arms
Surprise the foe
A crucial factor
Expand structure
Funneling more funds
It’s called attrition
Force them out
A goal is reached, yet
Neglect will cause disorder

The First Objective
04:08
|
|
||
Enter, being the first to charge
Careful plans in motion
Area softened but unswept
Mines have been laid
Setting foot on hostile ground
The sand hinders the movement
A quiet moment now ensues
The invasion has begun
Entrenching is out of question
Landing force is in total disarray
Barbed wire and obstacles
Pinned down in heavy fire
Looking for a cover in a quick manner
As the defensive guns blaze
More troops are pouring in
Wave after wave
Objective is to push through
Beachhead must be obtained
Clear the surroundings
Just to get through
The first step in a greater plan
The landing, if successful
Push the enemy back
A beachhead provides the groundwork
Next, unleash the logistics
And aim for the heartland

Futile Effort
06:40
|
|
||
Sent on a mission
The standard has been met
Pain and misery are awaiting
A steady advance
Through a cruel terrain
Paving the way
With a daring stand
Across the field
Proceeding in a strict formation
Retaining a steady pace
Over the top
Let another wave enter in
There's no chance of turning back
Shelled away
A field ridden with barbwire
Centered on the sanctity of war
The slaughter begins
At easy targets on open ground
Defenses have sustained the shelling
Gunned down
No option to answer back
After great plans devastation prevails
Looking at the result
No further adjustments
Not a single metre gained
