War Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Carry with you my anger and hate
Be strong and avenge my death always
Bear with you my darkest thoughts
And punish every weak drop of gods blood
Carry with you the memories of our brotherhood
Be wise and let none cross you on your way
Bear in mind that are born of Satan's power
And finally let our dreams come true

We are the sons of Satan
We are the sons of war
Brothers united by evil
To extinguish the fucking world
Carry with you my words and immortalize 'em
Be brave and never give up our cause
(Bear me with you in your thoughts
And kneel in front of our common warlord)
(Watch me sit there at Satan's side
Be evil and show no fucking mercy
Bear in your heart the never ending fire
And the fatal darkness will await)
We are the sons of Satan
We are the sons of war

Brothers united by evil
To extinguish the fucking world

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of War's song 'The Sons of War' depict a group of soldiers who are united by their desire to exact revenge and destruction upon the world. The singer instructs his comrades to carry with them his anger, hate, and darkest thoughts, and to punish anyone who opposes them. The soldiers are born of Satan's power and are dedicated to fulfilling their dreams of destruction. The singer urges his comrades to be strong, wise, and brave, and to never give up their cause.

The lyrics also suggest a sense of brotherhood among the soldiers, as they are united by their shared commitment to evil. While the lyrics are undoubtedly disturbing and violent, they also convey a sense of fierce loyalty and a desire for camaraderie among those who have been ostracized by mainstream society. The striking imagery in the lyrics, such as the references to fire and darkness, add to the ominous and foreboding tone of the song, creating a sense of danger and chaos.
