First Casualty Of The War

The first time I died, it was only a matter of time
Before I would do it again

Suffice to say, we blew it all away
The tear gas chamber and the crucifix heart
Your model, adapted
Softly re-enacted
Make the slice fit where you want it

The first time I died, it was only a matter of time
Before I would do it again

Picture is worth a million, but your words pierce far worse indeed
A catacomb silence we fight to breach
The oxygen tanks we cannot reach

The plans you made they push and pull, fate drags us to an early grave
The aerials, the sky that falls, your eyes bear witness to it all
And in the end, all's said and done, we're ready to take our first fall

The first time I died, it was only a matter of time
Before I would do it again
The first time I died, it was only a matter of time
Before I would do it again
