Pictures of War - Skanners

The tank platoon is moving slow

We hear the rolling thunder grow

Over our heads a heavy cloud of planes

The aircraft-carrier in the bay

Is sending arrows in the sky

The button’s pushed, a way of no return

And so we’re shooting, we’re shooting pictures of war

That’s war

We’re executing in the name of a star

That’s war

That will be shining alone in the sky

That’s war

And so we’re fighting only to die

We sleep in trenches bound to die

Rocked by a cannon lullaby

The actors of the final power play

And so we’re shooting, we’re shooting pictures of war

That’s war

We’re executing in the name of a star

That’s war

That will be shining alone in the sky

That’s war

And so we’re fighting only to die
