Roman times, Catholic sin Salute the last sky with a lipless grin Ghosts remembered do it again As the war to end all wars begins As the war before the war... (A Star of David spins) As the war before the war To end all war begins Beowulf and the Minotaur Stalking dusty kings Delve into the Book of Life Strange imaginings In a book of revelations Where angels lose their wings When the seventh seal is broken The war to end all war begins In the Juniper's salt stripped bark The locust crying sings in the dark There's a hole in the sky
Where time gets in And sun and rain And the wind begin It's everything you've ever wanted everything It's everything you've ever wanted everything Beware the Beast in the final hour Wheels no longer turning How do we withstand this power Babylon is burning A thief in the night in the fall of Rome Strikes in the Colleseum The Merchants slam their message home But no one will, no one will believe them In the war before the war... (A Star of David spins) As the war before the war To end all war begins.
