[Verse 1: Tom Araya]
Propaganda death ensemble, burial to be
Corpses rotting through the night, in blood laced misery
Scorched earth the policy, the reason for the siege
The pendulum it shaves the blade, the strafing air blood raid

[Verse 2: Tom Araya]
Infiltration push reserves, encircle the front lines
Supreme art of strategy, playing on the minds
Bombard till submission, take all to their graves
Indication of triumph: the numbers that are dead

[Chorus: Tom Araya]
Sport the war!
War support!
The sport is war, total war
When victory's really massacre
The final swing is not a drill
It's how many people I can kill

[Solo: Jeff Hanneman]

[Chorus: Tom Araya]
Sport the war!
War support!
The sport is war, total war
When victory's really survival
The final swing is not a drill
It's how many people I can kill
