Lyrics for Fields Of Mars

In the garden where he was cast out by the lord Flames an Omni-directional sword For he as ever failed to gather up the fruit And thus was banished with his loot He cantered aimlessly through endless permutations of night Seeking a purpose and the meaning of kin And when it finally came to him You could've mistook it for the meaning of sin The women wished him well Every time he cast off marching to hell Now if you've never seen a terrible sight Stroll the garden of earthly delight Maybe we can make it right - someday I'll see you high above the Fields of Mars He knelt down before the unholy mob - who cried "War is god!" Gleaming outwardly with great pride - and Prepared to die The women wished him well Every time he cast off marching to hell Now if you've never seen a terrible sight Stroll the garden of earthly delight Maybe we can make it right - someday I'll see you high above the Fields of Mars Who cannot fight anymore Will never love any less That kid inside of murder Must be committed To live a life of hostility Never asking what it means When mother nation Blood and religion Sanction killing upon the Fields of Mars High above the Fields of Mars
