lyrics

Warring countries spill onto the land
A new regime is taking command
Enemies of the state feed the machine
Reeducate the people and wipe the slate clean

Hate leads to genocide
Purge the nation
Kill the innocent
And watch its people fall

In the killing fields
Seeds of hell, through the killing fields

Disease starvation, famine and strife
Forever change the way of life
Forcing endless labor supports the new state
Deprived of all rights the fields are their fate

In the killing fields
Seeds of hell, through the killing fields
Face the end in the killing fields
Stand and fall through the killing fields

To keep you is no benefit
And to destroy you is no loss
The killings would end but not for years
Flood the fields with all your tears
