Cain killed his brother and the blood began to flow
Gathering momentum into a torrid flood of woe
War made its entrance into the virgin realm of man
Steel forged in hatred brought the drama of the damned

[Chorus]

The reaper's standing just inside the backstage door
Waiting for the players in the theater of war

Man's quest for power for fortune and for fame,
Brought the blood of battle and the cannon's glory blaze
Leaders make their speeches, propaganda's mind control
Bezerkers in a frenzy as the madness takes it's toll

Massive destruction
Missiles, guns and war machines,
See the butchered bodies as we play another scene

Armageddon's coming we're at relevation's door
Final performance for the theater of war
