Theme

A song that channels extreme aggression and retaliation, positioning the narrator as a 'vicious animal' and a **'killing machine'** who is inherently **'Built for War'**. It's a declaration of a fight to the finish ('war of attrition'), promising brutal revenge against an opponent who 'called down the thunder.'

Lyrics
**Built for war**, what do you think your fists are for? **Built for war!** Listen, I didn't start this - believe me, I will **finish it**... You **called down the thunder** - too late now there's **no way out**... Nothing is gonna stop me - until then better **watch your back**... **Built for war**, what do you think your fists are for? **Built for war!** There is **no retreating** - I will **cut you down to size**... You will **beg for mercy** - a bad seed, you're **as good as dead**... Yield to **new dimension** - **Hell's coming**, better **say your prayers**... **Built for war**, what do you think your fists are for? **Built for war!** **Built for war**, are you looking at me, **you want some more**? What do you think your fists are for? Solo - Chris One day you will **face me** - and see the **terror trapped inside**... **Final retribution** - **torture** and **pure punishment**... **Vengeance running so deep** - a **dungeon of agony awaits**... **Fear not as death surrounds you** - Bitch all you want, but **here it comes**... **Built for war**, what do you think your fists are for? **Built for war!** **Built for war**, are you looking at me, **you want some more**? What do you think your fists are for? Solo - Chris
