The Battle of Nowhere

from For King and Country by The Stanfields

/

lyrics

T'is the loathsome right of lions and lords
To visit their might upon lambs
Oh butcher and beast, tyrant and cabal
I am a lion no longer

For empire and flag, for captain and king
I offered no quarter nor mercy
Spurred by the rage of a thousand vengeful gods
And blinded by men of ambition

Such industry is violence and war!
And how the ends are not all they claim
Righteous crusades bear bullion and control
And garnish the blood of a nation

So beware the promise of exotic frontiers
Where the battle of nowhere is waged
Where patriot sons are put to the sword
And lost in the strains of an anthem
