Lyrics

Mandatory Suicide

Murder at your every footstep
A child's toy sudden death
Sniper blazes you through your knees
Falling down, can you feel the heat?

Burn!

Ambushed by the spray of lead
Count the bullet holes in your head
Offspring sent out to cry
Living mandatory suicide

Suicide
Suicide
Suicide
Suicide

Holes burn deep in your chest
Raked by machine gun fire
Screaming soul sent out to die
Living mandatory suicide

Suicide
Suicide
Suicide
Suicide

Lying, dying, screaming in pain
Begging, pleading, bullets drop like rain
Mines explode, pain sheers through your brain
Radical amputation, this is insane
Fly swatter stakes drive through your chest
Spikes impale you as you're forced off the crest
Soldier of misfortune hunting with bated breath
A vile smell, like tasting death
Dead bodies, dying and wounded litter the city streets
Shattered glass, bits of clothing and human deceit
Dying in terror, blood's cheap, it's everywhere
Mandatory suicide, massacre on the front line
