about

Re-releasing soon with Brizzy Dee drums throughout!
Written/recorded 2003. This was in response to an AcidPlanet.com (now owned by SONY) metal mayhem contest. It came in runner-up, because the host was admittedly biased toward American metal and this is British-influenced.
I had, around that time, watched a documentary covering Stealth bomber and fighter technology and of course the propaganda we were "bombarded" with on the 'news': WMD, infidels, tyranny, axis-of-evil, etc..

lyrics

LYRICS
The hero's vision takes him into battle as the warfare takes its toll
A leader's fate so soon shall follow and the future shall behold
Talons rip through rings of terror whilst the tyrants horde their gold
Fire breaks with the rebels’ valor will the mass destruction fold

War Birds
They only come out at night
War Birds
Lasers guide their sight
War Birds
Beware as they take flight
War Birds
Take cover or you may lose your life

Moonlight falls on a desert land as the battle sirens sound
Apocalypse the crowds attest, will we leave this battle ground
Pagans shift into the shadows, fraught with fear they'll lose their souls
The covenant of war is written can the sentiments be sold?

Stay quiet as the sirens sound and keep your loved ones near
Dream about a life without any travesty or fear
Soon the sun will shine again Let freedom ring for all
As the innocent and infidels watch evil take its fall
