Lyrics: Beyond the Violence


Beyond the Violence
(T. Tiihonen)

Story
This is the very first song of all the Holochaust's songs that I made. It was a year about 1987-88 and the song formed out of just a bunch of individual guitar riffs and it didn't have any kind of vocal lines at all. I had many songs like that back in those days, just riffs without the 'meaning'. In time I started feeling a little bit frustrated about the situation so I started humming something along B.t.W. and BANG! It just came out from nowhere: "What's beyond the Violence...". I liked it and made the rest of the vocals in ecstacy. The song haven't really changed since, except for some parts of lyrics.


Lyrics
What's beyond the violence?
What wars are for?
Lots of ruin and pain for non-existent score

what's beyond the violence?
What wars are for?
Destructive nature using more and more...

The unpredictable war

Reason to kill, inside of us
Law of the man
Too much to ask, too much to do
To understand

Destruction of humanity, our sanity
No future, present or past
Stopped history

By war

What's beyond the violence?
What wars are for?
Lots of ruin and pain for
Non-existent score

What's beyond the violence?
What wars are for?
Destructive nature using more
And more...

The unpredictable war

Life under insane prophecy
Incoming end
Future becomes your enemy
No more a friend

Destruction unavoidable
Genetic fate
Chess in the game of victory
Yields check and mate

For war

What's beyond the violence?
What wars are for?
Lots of ruin and pain for
Non-existent score

What's beyond the violence?
What wars are for?
Destructive nature using more and more...

The unpredictable war
