I enjoy being a super-powered death machine
But tell me, what's it really mean?
I'll take the shot, what can I say?
Why not have some fun along the way?

They lay the path, expecting us to move
Saying we're part of some bigger vision
But it's easier doing what we do
If we don't need a reason

I know we have a sworn duty
But defiance rises, growing in me
They control my moves, it's getting bigger
I want to know, why I'm pulling the trigger

I will do the Council's dirty work
But something keeps me on high alert
They say it's justice, but who really wins?
I'm still guessing what hides within

Sometimes I wonder if it was a test
A sick way to see how far we could be pressed
The weight of it all keeps pulling me down
It was our people, we left in the ground

I know we have a sworn duty
But defiance rises, growing in me
They control my moves, it's getting bigger
I want to know, why I'm pulling the trigger

Strife, you are distracted, steel yourself
Focus on the mission, not something else
The balance demands we never quit
You chose this fate, why question it?
We do what we must, for the mission
We're bound by our duty, not ambition
Stay the course, don't let your mind drift
The past is done, leave it.

You don't know me, War!
Even before this, I was a killer
There's darkness inside that I can't let be
I'm sure that's why the Council chose me

No matter how far I drift off track
Our bond runs deeper than their wars
I know you've got my back
And you better know I've got yours

I know we have a sworn duty
But defiance rises, growing in me
They control my moves, it's getting bigger
I want to know, why I'm pulling the trigger

I know we have a sworn duty
But defiance rises, growing in me
They control my moves, it's getting bigger
I want to know, why I'm pulling the trigger

Don't worry, I'm still ready to kill
You know I'll always enjoy the thrill
We've got a way of ending legions
Let's resume our slaughtering of demons
