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
