There are no windows in this room, Toxic isolation cell, Chrysalis of poisoning hate! For the pigs who wallow in their shit! There goes my faith! The last I think I had, My conscience growing colder than a body on a slab, Nothing left, nothing more! Only anger, Only war, Best to hide in your religion, Now that malice lights my way! I feel my blood, It starts to boil… As my skin begins to crawl, This is the strength that crushes will! And then rebuilds in perfect form… There goes my faith! Raise my demons from their cell! I am half way down this bottle, even further down to hell… Nothing left, nothing more! Only anger, Only war, Best to hide in your religion, Now that malice lights my way! There goes my faith! The last I think I had, My conscience growing colder than a body on a slab, Nothing left, nothing more! Only anger, Only war, Best to hide in your religion, Now that malice lights my way!

Step aside! You never lived your life, All was said and done inside your mind, Now you stand! With an empty hand, Like a beggar searching for a soul, Hell screams! Devil’s from the Underground rise, With a force that feeds off the energy, Fists high! Marching through the blood in the streets, We rise! In the glow of the burning buildings, We stand as witness to fall of nations, Yet there’s no fear, This is what we came here for, Mark these times well, Fate will call upon us all… Genocide! Taken system wide, With the fervor of converted minds, Live to tell! From inside a cell, Should have made your move but not it’s gone, Death spiral! From a coil quickly coming unwound, Hastening to a day of reckoning, Blood spills! Taking to the streets in a mob, We rise! In the glow of the burning buildings, We stand as witness to fall of nations, Yet there’s no fear, This is what we came here for, Mark these times well, Fate will call upon us… Waste your days, Digging shallow graves, You pissed your life away, Time will forget your name and you are done! In the glow of the burning buildings, We stand as witness to fall of nations, Yet there’s no fear, This is what we came here for, Mark these times well, Fate will call upon us all!

Gather around disciples, This is the Season of the Kill! Take up your arms, Prepare for rites, The time has come to step in to the Light! Never again my children, Will we be punished for free will! Blessed by sanguine consecrations, The time is coming! A problem solved! Another prophet dies, Witness the birth of a blood religion, To save us from our lives… Raise your hands to Heaven, You are the few who will be saved! The blades of truth will shut their eyes, The time is coming! A problem solved! Another prophet dies, Witness the birth of a blood religion, To save us from our lives! Nothing left to hang your faith upon, We bring you true release from all your earthly wants, Lay your body down, It’s time for sacrifice, Give us of the flesh, Receive Eternal Life! A problem solved! The prophet dies, Witness the birth of a blood religion, To save us from our…

Ruthless! The level of violence imposed, They’ll never regain their control, Relentless in righteous defense, From those who damn themselves… Words unspoken! Tragic notions brought us to this day, Peace has broken down, By the conflict rising… Dissension! A crisis to test our resolve! We fight for the lives of us all! Bleed for the Cause of the Blessed, And lay them all to rest… Words unspoken! Tragic notions brought us to this day, Peace has broken down, Declarations have been made, Live and die by our word, On that you can rely, With a foot upon the throat, Of those who’d twist the knife!

Evil Days 04:22
I am now Death, Taking the Light, Breaking the halo down, Faith of a dying world, Red Horse must ride! This is the Final Judgment A sentence passed down from On High, Execution for the times… Nothing is left remaining, No shred of evidence no trace! Cleanse Existence from this place, I break the earth beneath your feet, The viral strain in your disease, Cast in shadow to this sun, Your evil days are done! All has been revealed, God has turned away, This wrath unleashed! These are the last confusions, The desperate throws of dying breath, Tragic failure of the test… Fatal miscalculations, The cut the kills cannot atone, Blood left wet upon stone, I break the earth beneath your feet, The viral strain in your disease, Cast in shadow to this sun, Your evil days are done!

Eyes wide! There could be violence, And with the death that it brings, Likewise, There is a virulence! A systematic disease, Step high a right to be militant! Look well, a time to be vigilant, Distrust the ones who divide us, Time to break those ties! I see no reaction in their eyes, Lifeless…without feel, There’s no use looking back, No sights from this attack, Although it’s much too real… Wars are won, On backs of those to be their slaves, The liars, The thieves, That let us down this way, They cut us on their teeth, Then sold us to the grave, I’ll never die that way! Silence by Law! Stand fast! Within the battlements, You have a voice to say! Silence the Mouth of the Protest, Take the voice away! I see no reaction in their eyes, Lifeless…without feel, There’s no use looking back, No sights from this attack, Although it’s much too real… Wars are won, On backs of those to be their slaves, The liars, The thieves, That let us down this way, They cut us on their teeth, Then sold us to the grave, I’ll never die that way! Silence by Law!

about

"War Of Attrition" is RAISE THE GUNS debut EP and is an aggressive representation of our influences and elements. Taking on themes of politics, genocide, anger, and rage, we combine shredding guitar work and a thunderous rhythm section to deliver a honest and raw sound. If you like melodic, hard hitting, guitar laden Metal, you will like "War Of Attrition".
