Holy Dragons - The Boilerplate (The Story of a Victorian Robot)

Tekst piosenki:

The Boilerplate
For fighting made
Steam breathing man
With mind of his own
So many fights
So many wars
They were reflected
In your robot eyes

Times
They keep secrets away
From your eyes

Saved lives of men
Antarctic ice
You left your homeland
For greatest war
When people killed
Without remorse
You have no life
You have nothing to fear

Boilerplate, Boilerplate
They said: “You must fight
Fighting to the end”
Boilerplate, Boilerplate
You know you will leave
Foolish stay with war

Boilerplate, Boilerplate

Boilerplate, Boilerplate
They said: “You must fight
To all wars' end.”

Times
They keep secrets away
From your eyes

Why did they create
The Boilerplate?
To prevent the deaths of men at war
In the nation's conflicts of the world
Death has no full power over steel

Designed for the self-proclaimed purpose
Of preventing the deaths of men in the conflicts of nations
The Boilerplate disappeared in the First World War
Obviously having no desire to participate in the war actions

The use of force
The use of violence
To solve all problems
Is the disease of mankind
The brightest minds
Of all mankind
Can't understand
That killing's no way out

Boilerplate, Boilerplate
They said: “You must fight
Fighting to the end”
Boilerplate, Boilerplate
You know, you will leave
Foolish stay with war

Boilerplate, Boilerplate

Boilerplate, Boilerplate
They said: “You must fight
To all wars' end”
