Sleep Among Lions - Warheads Lyrics

Hands steady with no hesitation
Holds the weight of the world in their arms
The young drowns in their desperation
Sent off the fight their mindless wars

Descendants of our fathers forgotten
We march forwards on the bones of our fallen

Will we pull through
Or destroy ourselves
Are we past the point
Of making amends

We are going down
At breakneck speed
Don't you think it's time
To acknowledge defeat

Write it on the walls and burn it down
We'll keep your secrets safe and sound
In concrete halls underground
ICBM's inbound

Descendants of our fathers forgotten
We march forwards on the bones of our fallen

And If I were to fall I wouldn't be alone
There's brothers in arms where my body's thrown
Your last night on earth was all in vain
When the writer of the book doesn't know your name

Descendants of our fathers forgotten
We march forwards on the bones of our fallen

Will we pull through
Or destroy ourselves
Are we past the point
Of making amends

We are going down
At breakneck speed
Don't you think it's time
To acknowledge defeat

Life as we know will soon expire
As we bask in the glory of their nuclear fire
An appointment in Samarra

Will we pull through
Or destroy ourselves
Are we past the point
Of making amends

We are going down
At breakneck speed
Don't you think it's time
To acknowledge defeat
