Consumed by self loving pain, self loathing bliss
It ears away, burns you like a cancer
The feeling's inside, mask your size with your will
Now you fall from heart and soul
Break, years of frustration
All too plain to see
Ease into war
Invade with foul fingers
Lie to purify
Crushing what's not you
They say some are born with a blackened heart
Fell to the curse of a bastard life
Cursed with a bastard life
Your lust to celebrate your name
Will cause your fall
Can't change, years of frustration
All have yearned to see
The pedestal crumble
Ignored actor of aggression
Falsify to slave
Avoiding all that's true
You stand up, then you fall heartless, soulless appetite
You're crossing almost every line
Now it's time to wash away
You lost your way
You crossed the line
You crossed the line
It ears away, burns you like a cancer
The feeling's inside, mask your size with your will
Now you fall from heart and soul
Break, years of frustration
All too plain to see
Ease into war
Invade with foul fingers
Lie to purify
Crushing what's not you
They say some are born with a blackened heart
Fell to the curse of a bastard life
Cursed with a bastard life
Your lust to celebrate your name
Will cause your fall
Can't change, years of frustration
All have yearned to see
The pedestal crumble
Ignored actor of aggression
Falsify to slave
Avoiding all that's true
You stand up, then you fall heartless, soulless appetite
You're crossing almost every line
Now it's time to wash away
You lost your way
You crossed the line
You crossed the line

Agree with others that is about the "evils" of war, and probably more so the motives for war (e.g. greed, lust, point of differences). In other words we lie to ourselves (and they lie to everyone) about the true motives behind war.
For example, we thought the Vietnam War was "right" to stop the spread of Communism and to protect the Democracy of South Vietnamese. But really it was an ideological war being waged between the USA and Russia with each hoping to show that their "system" is best. We lie to ourselves though to make the war seem "right".
