LYRICS:
Situation dire
Dead souls on the horizon
But still soldier on
Dogs of war
Sold to die cause…
They come back for what?
Bombing for peace that’s back to front
Ministry of offence - are you catching on?
Another prime minister moving sinister
Think we're gonna listen ta?
What you gonna say about the war in Syria
Countries left with sore interior
We think the refugees have had enough
And we know the death tolls only gonna tally up
I pick the mic and I bally up
And start looking for an escape plan like Dillinger
We're gonna break down barriers
Our brothers are migrating in handcuffs
...It's horrendous, a chemical attack on a civilian
Young children already militant
Every day we bury the innocent
A vigilante got to stay vigilant
Turn a blind eye to ya skin pigment
We lead the way we won't follow religion
Situation dire
Dead souls on the horizon
But still soldier on
Dogs of war
Sold to die cause…
They come back for what?
Bombing for peace that’s back to front
Ministry of offence - are you catching on?
Yeah you better start catching on!
We pay tax so illegal attacks worldwide keep battling on!
Won't stop ‘til we BOMB THEM ALL!
DOGS OF WAR...
Broken future the truth is nearer
Prophecy of Akira
I wanna Tetsuo on this wretched world
My furious energies never felt clearer
Back with a blunt and a beer
I can't go sober it's over the world's grown colder
Covered in soldiers
The 'powers that be' are screwing us over HARD!
We could rap about money & cars
But that'd be another disaster
Yeah just keep distracting the people
From the bleakest actions of evil
I’ma come through with stunner kung-fu
Bash a foot soldier - cut another few
If you're part of the 1% we will find you
And put a pump action to your cerebral!
Situation dire
Dead souls on the horizon
But still soldier on
Dogs of war
Sold to die cause…
They come back for what?
Bombing for peace that’s back to front
Ministry of offence - are you catching on?
Are you catching on?
Yeah you better start catching on!
We pay tax so illegal attacks worldwide keep battling on!
Won't stop ‘til we BOMB THEM ALL!
DOGS OF WAR...
There's a war in the middle east and it’s getting deep
Cause the M.O.D all they do is cheat
With the money that they launder and fleece
And export with police
Oil and the guns aren't coming in cheap
Borders we breach documents will leak
How we gonna learn if nobody's gonna teach
Kicking off doors if we ain't got keys
There’s a war in the alleyways and in the streets
Some of them are sheep - Some of them are gonna speak up
Cause I know they wanna sweep
This turmoil under the carpet
But I don't want hear another Donald Trump speech
Got love for America but I just want peace
Blood on my hands only if I bleed
...Fuck the whole regime
To God up there ask him what is this gonna achieve?
Situation dire
Dead souls on the horizon
But still soldier on
Dogs of war
Sold to die cause…
They come back for what?
Bombing for peace that’s back to front
Ministry of offence - are you catching on?
Are you catching on?
Yeah you better start catching on!
We pay tax so illegal attacks worldwide keep battling on!
Won't stop ‘til we BOMB THEM ALL!
DOGS OF WAR...

i love that you've put the sources under the lines

You can find links to all the reports, articles and essays referenced through the link in the description. There are loads more eye-opening facts that we weren't able to include!

[@mischanewman3708]

Jot Maxi is exactly what these guys needed. Fucking love it.

[@stryker5055]

Nice avatar loser

[@slaughterxcii483]

The mix of rap and scream of metal style is perfectly. No change guys.

[@ThisDawning]

A powerful message, an Akira reference, a massive sound, killer bars and the british style I love. Majestic

[@mentaltelepathy24]

this whole song had references galore. That dillinger escape plan was insane.

[@goobingtons]

@@mentaltelepathy24 i feel bad cause now cause I got none of them ?

[@Obeekwillem]

Yes dude.

[@edge4266]

God, jot maxi kills the chorus and his verse

[@Fharwin]

I live in a thirdworld country (Nicaragua) and most of my friends are brainwashed by the media, what damage do we represent to the Dogs of War? I wish all musicians would unite and fight them with lyrics as powerful as these... Thank you guys and much love to all of you!

[@85devlin]

I cant get enough of that bassline from 1:28 to 1:55

[@GITMmusic]

The new rapper is fucking amazing with those screams. Such a unique tone

[@JotMaxi]

Much love & thanks!

[@WvlfWar]

A perfect mix of Max Cavalera and Corey Taylor

[@zetyadrian]

@@JotMaxi Yo dude, I saw some of the more recent lives and I must say that you really improved on the screams. I didn't hear many high screams though. How are you training? I know it's not my place to give advice, but I was thinking of asking you if you know some good materials related to screams, something like Melissa Cross's 'Zen of Screaming'. I know there are tons of good materials on youtube these days, but I really like her warming up exercises. Any other material you use in training ? Anyway, I think you're killing it with the band, a really nice fit. I guess sometimes I miss the old guitarist as a back-up vocal for singing lines.

[@bffl1806]

One of the best growls ive ever heard in the chorus, big props

[@moltfreaky]

THOSE SINGERS, OMGAAAAAWD .... Perfect balance!

[@mitchellburns2999]

Love the call out of the ministry of defence

[@Inorganic-Inc]

"And we know the death tolls only gonna tally up I pick the mic and I bally up And start looking for an escape plan like Dillinger We're gonna break down barriers " BRILLIANT. 😎

[@weezersthebluealbum9479]

Blasting this song on repeat until we eventually get the new album.

[@tzuyuhypetrain9791]

The video, the lyrics is pure perfect explains what the West did to the people in Middle East. Big fan from Northeast India.

[@andrewsalazar4798]

Spitting knowledge and making sick music!

[@logbaseaodhan62]

You guys are still killin it as you were 7 years back, you’ve embraced change brilliantly and the integrity of the band still seems to be strong. Love this song and the meaning that often goes unaddressed in mainstream media.

[@HacktivistUK]

Thank you for saying so!! But 2k is great for now, it's only been up a couple of hours!!

[@thecastaway9550]

my god boys, most bands find their style and slowly get "softer", but man this shite bangs! Just awesome, the hate these guys get is so undeserved. Bringing new life into genres that were gettin stale, and even going the step to try something nobody else tried before on this scale. Just bravo, just happy that bands like hacktivist exist and experiment instead of "covering" the genre-style like 1.000 bands before.

[@MattRach]

oui

[@0_darko]

literally spitting fire 🔥 those lyrics. it’s like we learned what we should have learned back in high school history class

[@MFKR696]

If anything legit was taught in history class, they would make teaching history illegal. You know it's true. In history class, I was taught that war profiteering went away after WWI. I guess that teacher had never heard of Halliburton, KBR or Lockheed fucking Martin lol. "While Samuel Colt made all men equal, Lockheed Martin made the US military a God, before which entire nations tremble."

[@ottogofast3882]

This got punk rock vibes

[@mugen88888888]

Same in France, awsome song dudes. Keep it up

[@chrisostapovitch6567]

How the FUCK do HACKTIVIST only have 37.8K subscribers at this point in time?!

[@linktojinx]

I just got done watching every video of actual music on your channel. thank you for what you're doing it is a much needed service. All joking aside, metal used to be kind of the same way punk rock is it just went against a different part of society, but hip hop and punk and metal and even country all at their base level grassroots core are standing opposed to the overall machine that chews us up and spits us out.. . We need to bring the genres back and bring them together. We're going to have to do like in walking Dead. We're all going to need to become allies, our enemy is too large.

[@k.2768]

I dont like the way the new frontman looks and moves, but i do like his kickass screams, very dope. He fits very good into this band.

[@Justynbrodsky123]
