lyrics

Can’t define what we decide 'cause everyone’s so gone
Disinformed and pumped with fear, now who can say what’s right?
You can’t define the dream beyond or what’s hiding in my soul
The reasons for emotions from the things that you don’t know

Hiding from the crowded scenes our love for something new
Before the spies can see what’s up I just want you to see my side
No, you can’t define where we belong, no, this high has not been known
This subtle hue of a silver light that's turning into gold

Wars not on the battlefield
It's waged upon the home front
Broadcasting propaganda
On the news at five o' clock

What is hell and what is life when everyone’s so down?
With feelings of un-normalcy and indecency and spite
Your dreams defined by evil lords who hide behind their thrones
The system of the weaker ones, their weapon is to own (your soul)

Wars not on the battlefield
It's waged upon the home front
Broadcasting propaganda
On the news at five o'clock

Death is dressed in velvet
We love those who die young
Where's another martyr?
We just can't get enough

supported by 4 fans who also own “Roses On The Battlefield”

I didn't realize how great Beastmaker were until I put this in and really gave it a good listen. Man, if anyone ever sounded like the mighty Black Sabbath it's these guys and that's a major compliment! Sabbath made me the metalhead I am today. So super happy to discover these guys. Guitar tone is heavy as shit and the singer has that creepy Ozzy sound that's perfect for this music. Beastmaker are the classic Sabbath sound circa 1970. I play this all the time. knutepanhead
