Some interesing war and war inspired songs out there. How about a list and lyrics. I'll start it out.
NONPOINT "There's Going To Be A War!" One by one I deal with them. Take them by the neck. Drag them around kicking and screaming. Showing the law of cause and effect. Everything I feel with, I tuck and protect from the storm. And pray for the sake of the people who make the worst mistakes of their naturally born lives. [Chorus 1] Snapping bones. Head down and making holes. In the walls closing around me. [Chorus 2] Finding out I'm the enemy. When they're surrounding the enemy. You're trying to take down the enemey? There's going to be a war! I got just enough left to finish this, and the rest I'm going to use on your friends. Don't bother screaming for help. They left you behind to fend for yourself. Pattern of the mentally battered individual. Matter that eventually shattered any principle. Rather than barely getting by on just the minimum, my decision is to take on the best. [Chorus 1 and 2] Walking away from me is not and option anymore. [Chorus 2] |

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak Out for the scramble we’ve got to get airborne Got to get up for the coming attack. Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines Remove all the wheelblocks there’s no time to waste Gathering speed as we head down the runway Gotta get airborne before it’s too late. Running, scrambling, flying Rolling, turning, diving, going in again Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live. aces high. Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers Let off a sharp burst and then turn away Roll over, spin round and come in behind them Move to their blindsides and firing again. Bandits at 8 o’clock move in behind us Ten me-109’s out of the sun Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them Heading straight for them I press down my guns Rolling, turning, diving Rolling, turning, diving, going in again Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live, aces high. |

Death or Glory, by Motorhead
I saw the millions, the naked and the dead I saw the city streets running bloody red I saw a thousand bombers circle in the sky I saw the firestorm fifty stores high I saw a hundred thousand scream and burn I saw the armored wheels grind and turn Universal soldier, doomed to live to tell Fight and die forever, burn in bloody hell Death or Glory, Death or Glory March forever in the sound and fury Death or Glory, Death or Glory Blood and iron it's the same old story I held the Iron Cross, first class with the swords I marched with Hitler down the bloody road to war I was at Jutland loding 'till the gun was hot, Killed at Trafalgar without firing a shot I was at Moscow, burning in my tank I was at Shiloh, marching in the ranks I was a Sturmbannfuhrer fighting in Berlin I was a Russian Hero dying for Stalin Death or glory, Death or glory March forever in the sound and fury Death or glory, Death or glory Blood and iron it's the same old story I swung a saber and I was a young Hussar I was a Cossack, fighting for the Czar I was a Viking, Berserker from the North A Roman Gladiator murdered just for sport I was with Bonaparte I died at Waterloo I was a Frankish Knight, a Polish Jew I was a Spartan in the Trojan Wars I was a warrior for Crazy Horse Death or Glory, Death or Glory March forever in the sound and fury Death or Glory, Death or Glory The Loner Survivor but no comfort for me Death or Glory, Death or Glory Executioner, Judge and Jury Death or Glory, Death or Glory Blood and iron it's the same old story Auf Stehen!!! |

Motorhead - Dogs of War
Stand or fall, live or die (Stand) Strong and true to the end (Now) Fly the flag, let them see (Sky) We will never bend the knee (Don't fail) We are the last of all (Here) If we give way we lose (No) So can you stand with me? (We can) Will you now pay your dues (Hai) The tales they tell, of how we stand this day We that defend our cause Will last a thousand years Come now the dogs of war Break or hold, die or kill (Live) Try or fail, or succeed (Fight) We must be an iron wall (Hold) When the heart receives the call (We go) We are the least of them (Fight) We are few, but we are brave (Yes) So can you stand with me (We Will) The tales they tell, of how we stood this day We few that know the law Will last a thousand years Hear now the dogs of war Sun is set, darkness falls (See) Now comes the enemy (Beware) Draw sword and shield defy (Hai) All their wives must scream and cry (Stand fast) We are the last hope now (Last) Of all our people fair, so will you die with me (We do) Will you now do your share (Hai) The tales they tell, of what we do this day We that guard the door WIll last a thousand years Let go the dogs of war |

Molly Hatchet - Beatin' The Odds Lyrics Well she grabbed me and asked me, If I had a name, She told me she was interested to see, If I could play the game, She said her name was victory, She didn't want to know the rules, That's just the way I wanted to play, In a game designed for fools. We were beatin' the odds, we were beatin' the odds, We were beatin' the odds again, We were gambling with our souls, We were playing to win, We were beatin' the odds again. Well I rolled the dice feelin' cold as ice, And Victory drew the cards, We knew that loosin' when the stakes were high, Could really hit us hard, I strapped into the drivers seat, With Miss Victory by my side, She knew at a glance she was takin' a chance, By coming along for the ride. We were beatin' the odds, we were beatin' the odds, We were beatin' the odds again, We were gambling with our souls, We were playing to win, We were beatin' the odds again. Time and space stood still that day, With Victory's soul and mine, We were running a race between heaven and hell, And we couldn't find the finish line, And when it was all over we won it in the end, We were splittin' the prize when she opened her eyes, And said Baby let's try it again. We were beatin' the odds, we were beatin' the odds, We were beatin' the odds again, We were gambling with our souls, We were playing to win, We were beatin' the odds again. We were beatin' the odds, we were beatin' the odds, We were beatin' the odds again, We were gambling with our souls, We were playing to win, We were beatin' the odds again. Molly Hatchet - Bounty Hunter Lyrics HEEEEEEEELLLLLL YEAH!!!! My horse is kicking dust up off the trail, I'm just getting back from a trip to HELL. My six gun she's stapped by my side, Thunder is the horse that I ride. And it seems to me this is one hell of a way, For a man like me to earn that pay. Outlaws on the loose. Running, running from the noose. Blue steel flashing, hot lead flying, I wonder what they feel like when they're dying. Someday soon it might be my turn, Is it worth the money I earn? And it seems to me this is one hell of a way, For a man like me to earn that pay. Outlaws on the loose, Running, running from the noose. I'm a bounty hunter, I'll hunt you down, yeah, I will. LEAD BREAK Did you know $500 will get your head blown off? It will....ha, ha, ha Blue steel flashing, hot lead flying, I wonder what they fell like when they're dying. Someday soon it might be my turn, Is it worth the money I earn? And it seems to me this is one hell of a way, For a man like me to earn that pay. Outlaws on the loose, Running, running from the noose, Outlaws on the loose, Running, running from the noose, I'm a bounty hunter going to hunt you down. |

One of my favorites:
Where Eagles Dare It's snowing outside the rumbling sound of engines roar in the night, The mission is near the confident men are waiting to drop from the sky. The Blizzard goes on but still they must fly No one should go where eagles dare. Bavarian alps that lay all around they seem to stare from below, The enemy lines a long time passed are lying deep in the snow. Into the night they fall through the sky No one should fly where eagles dare. They're closing in the fortress is near it's standing high in the sky, The cable car's the only way in it's really impossible to climb. They make their way but maybe too late They've got to try to save the day. The panicking cries the roaring of guns are echoing all round the valley, The mission complete they make to escape away from the Eagles Nest. They dared to go where no one would try they chose to fly where eagles dare. And another one from Maiden: 1. Tailgunner Trace your way back 50 years To the Glow of Dresden - blood and tears In the black above by the cruel searchlight Men will die and men will fight - yeah! Who shot who and who fired first? Dripping death to whet the bloodthirst No radar lock on - skin and bone The bomber boys are going home [Chorus] Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner You're a Tailgunner [repeat] Nail that Fokker kill that son, Gonna blow your guts out with my gun, The weather forecasts good for War Cologne and Frankfurt? have some more! Tail end Charlie in the boiling sky The Enola Gay was my last try Now that this Tailgunner's gone No more Bombers (just one big bomb) [Chorus] |

A couple good ones from Iced Earth (The Glorious Burden); If you are into Metal and you haven't checked them out I highly recomend them. The Glorious Burden is a great album or Alive in Athens if you are into live recordings.
Attila He's ruled them for twenty years And ravaged as their king Conquest burns in his eyes And ice shoots through his veins Their leader's new ambitions lie Further to the West The Empire that he seeks The Father to the Rest Attila wants to take his place Like the impetuous son To make the entire world bow To the kingdom of the huns Alliance has been made With many other clans Frank and Vandal forces Held within his hand And by Attila's hand it's said His brother met with death To make his rule his legacy He did his awful best Ethele and Etzell By many names he's known But "Scourge of God" is the one That rings the darkest tone [CHORUS] Hell awaits behind Gaul's gates The Roman's stand only to fall They will die by his sword The barbarian lord Attila hear's victory call [BRIDGE] [Huns] Path of Fire and Plunder Cities burn and crumble Atila's fate beckons He will come to conquer [Romans] Archers stand at ready Centurions all together Keep to your lines And the Mongol's sure to falter [Huns] We will surely break them We will overtake them Fight till our deaths On the Christians devastation [Romans] They won't overthrow us God will stand before us Show us the path to the huns destruction Sing to the sky, the battle cry To propogate their fears As terror is the weapon drawn When battle has drawn near And so the conflict is at hand The gauntlet has been thrown Contempt for the Christian reign The poison seed now sewn And if by chance all is lost Cut down by Roman steel We'll suffer not as others have Broken mind nor broken will [REPEAT CHORUS] The Devil To Pay [July 1st, 1863] In July 1863 A nation torn in tragedy A trick of fate, two great armies merge Gods of war at Gettysburg Devastation lies ahead 50,000 bodies litter the land Hell rages three full days The reaper sows, there's the devil to pay The pressure's on and the reb's attack The yanks must hold, They can't fall back Just two brigades, 2000 strong Against 20,000 they can't hold long General Reynolds makes his way Expect no mercy from the iron brigade Until he shows they're on their own But Buford's men have a will of stone Bayonets gleam in the morning sun Smoke and fire belching from their guns Another volley and again they strike Thousands more comin' down Chambersburg pike [Chorus:] This tragedy and what it brings All the devastation (The reaper has his way) Men will kill, Blood will spill To preserve the nation (There's the devil to pay) South of town down the Emmitsburg road The first corps are starting to show For Buford's men, they're here just in time The desperate need to strengthen the line Bodies dropping the blue and the grey Muskets fire and cannon blaze The union fights defending the town But they're outnumbered and losing ground From the north and the west more rebels arrive Thousands more and the fight multiplies McPhearson's ridge and the black hats strike A rebel sharpshooter takes Reynolds life [Repeat Chorus] Attack! Attack! General Lee gives command They're overwhelmed, The situation demands The federals retreat and rush out of town But they have fortified and saved the high ground The day ends in victory for the south Lee's as convinced as God's will is profound They are invincible and their cause is just But Longstreet is cautious and lacking in trust Across the way the union digs in The round tops, Cemetery Ridge and out to Culps Hill Their lines are strong, no denying they'll stay When the confederates strike There'll be the devil to pay [Repeat Chorus] |

Iced Earth - When The Eagle Cries
Another day, just like any other out of the blue, it turned to horror How could they? Why would they? The innocents suffered hell's inferno An senseless act that goes unforgotten How could they? They will pay. [Chorus:] When the Eagle Cries Blood will flow When the Eagle Cries For freedom's fight When the Eagle Cries We love her so When the Eagle Cries We will sacrifice Out of the ashes came a tempted vengeance but we are focused, we seek redemption we are free we'll stay free All they've done is make us stronger The sleeping giant is asleep no longer If need be we'll die free [Chorus:] When the Eagle Cries Blood will flow When the Eagle Cries For freedom's fight When the Eagle Cries We love her so When the Eagle Cries We will sacrifice |

"War Pigs" is an anti-military, anti-politician song.
Here is another good Maiden war song The Trooper by Iron Maiden You'll take my life but I'll take yours too You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through So when you're waiting for the next attack You'd better stand there's no turning back. The bugle sounds and the charge begins But on this battlefield no one wins The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath As I plunge on into certain death. The horse he sweats with fear we break to run The mighty roar of the Russian guns And as we race towards the human wall The screams of pain as my comrades fall We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground And the Russians fire another round We get so near yet so far away We won't live to fight another day. We get so close near enough to fight When a Russian gets me in his sights He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow A burst of rounds take my horse below. And as I lay there gazing at the sky My body's numb and my throat is dry And as I lay forgotten and alone Without a tear I draw my parting groan |

Travis Tritt - The Day The Sun Stood Still
We were young and bound for glory Itchin' for a fight like you Bringin' hell and purgatory To the boys who wore the blue And I thought I'd seen it all Till the day night wouldn't fall Oh, how the sun did blaze Wouldn't go down for days I got shot and lost my rifle When the first wave hit the rise And the guns rolled out like thunder And the black smoke burned my eyes And I watched it all unfold Just the way the Bible told Joshua's endless day Keepin' the night at bay And the soldiers kept a comin' Til the ground looked like a sea Of blue and grey And I watched it from a distance Wonderin' if I would've fought or run away The day the sun stood still How they beat the bloody drums And the seconds moved like hours But the sunset never comes And the cannons shake the ground And the bullets test your will Even shadows found no cover On that Godforsaken hill The day the sun stood still And I watched them lean their shoulders To the fearful hail of lead And I prayed for night to save us And I cried and bowed my head Bt the sun just kept a-creepin' 'Cross a cold indifferent sky Castin' a deadly glow On all the men below All the hours in a lifetime Don't add up to one while minute in that sun And the heroes and the cowards Look the same when they have fallen by the gun The day the sun stood still And the north and south looked west But the evening star was sleeping And the daylight wouldn't rest Out on the killing floor The red sun on the the hill Shinin' down on all the dead men With a strange and eerie chill The day the sun stood still Do not judge what you brother does Till you've walked a mile Rank by bloody file Who's to say if you'll run or stay and fight? The day the sun stood still Is just beneath the skin In the soul of every soldier Every battle that he's in The day the sun stood still Will haunt your dreams at night And stalk your every sunrise Though you will not know it till Repeat Chorus |

Slayer - "War Ensemble"
Propaganda death ensemble Burial to be Corpses rotting through the night In blood laced misery Scorched earth the policy The reason for the seige The pendulum it shaves the blade The strafing air blood raid 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 number that are dead [CHORUS] Sport the war, war support The sport is war, total war When victory's a massacre The final swing is not a drill It's how many people I can kill [CHORUS] Be dead friend from above When darkness falls Descend into my sights Your fallen walls Spearhead break through the lines Flanked all around Soldiers of attriction Forward their ground Regime prophetic age Old in its time Flowing veins run on through Deep in the Rhine Center of the web All battles scored What is our war crimes (Era forever more...war) Propaganda war ensemble Burial to be Bones shining in the night In blood laced misery Campaign of elimination Twisted psychology When victory is to survive And death is defeat [CHORUS] Sport the war, war support The sport is war, total war When victory's a massacre When victory is survival When this end is a slaughter The final swing is not a drill It's how many people I can kill Slayer - "Mandatory Suicide" Murder at your every foot step. A child's toy sudden death. Sniper blazes you thru your knees Falling down can you feel the heat, Burn! Ambushed by the spray of lead Count the bullet holes in your head. Offspring sent out to cry, Living mandatory suicide. Suicide. [x 4] [LEAD: HANNEMAN] Holes burn deep in your chest, Raked by machine gun fire. Screaming soul sent out to die, Living mandatory suicide. Suicide. [x 4] [LEAD: HANNEMAN] [Spoken:] Lying, dying, screaming in pain. Begging, pleading, bullets drop like rain. Mines explode, pain sheers through your brain, Radical amputation, this is insane. Fly swatter stakes drive through your chest. Spikes impale you as you're forced off the crest. Soldier of misfortune Hunting with bated breath. A vile smell, like tasting death. Dead bodies, dying and wounded Litter the city streets Shattered glass, bits of clothing and human deceit. Dying [in] terror, Blood's cheap, it's everywhere. Mandatory suicide, massacre on the front line. Slayer - "Ghosts Of War" Fate silent warriors sleeping souls will arise. Once forgotten soldiers come to life. Fallen mercenary, dormancy is done, Not content with wars we never won. Memories can't ignore Anguish of before Satisfy the scorn. Rise ghosts of war. Target assassinate, time of your life has expired. Hatred victimize, gaze in their eyes as they die. Violence inflicting of pain, savage morticians deny Drive the salt in the wound, arouse the subconscious to lie. (Memories can't ignore Anguish of before Satisfy the scorn. Rise ghosts of war.) [LEADS: HANNEMAN, KING, HANNEMAN] I deal in pain. All life I drain. I dominate. I seal your fate. I deal in pain. All life I drain. Memories can't ignore, Rise ghost of war. |

Megadeth - "Holy Wars"
Brother will kill brother Spilling blood across the land Killing for religion Something I don’t understand Fools like me,who cross the sea And come to foreign lands Ask the sheep, for their beliefs Do you kill on God’s command? A country that’s divided Surely will not stand My past erased, no more disgrace No foolish naive stand The end is near, it’s crystal clear Part of the master plan Don’t look now to Israel It might be your homelands Holy wars |

Here’re a couple great ones from Steve Earle.
Artist/Band: Earle Steve Lyrics for Song: Ben McCulloch Lyrics for Album: Train a Comin' We signed up in San Antone my brother Paul and me To fight with Ben McCulloch and the Texas infantry Well the poster said we'd get a uniform and seven bucks a week The best rations in the army and a rifle we could keep When I first laid eyes on the general I knew he was a fightin' man He was every inch a soldier every word was his command Well his eyes were cold as the lead and steel forged into tools of war He took the lives of many and the souls of many more Well they marched us to Missouri and we hardly stopped for rest Then he made this speech and said we're comin' to the test Well we've got to take Saint Louie boys before the yankees do If we control the Mississippi then the Federals are through Well they told us that our enemy would all be dressed in blue They forgot about the winter's cold and the cursed fever too My brother died at Wilson's creek and Lord I seen him fall We fell back to the Boston Mountains in the North of Arkansas CHORUS Goddamn you Ben McCulloch I hate you more than any other man alive And when you die you'll be a foot soldier just like me In the devil's infantry And on the way to Fayetteville we cursed McCulloch`s name And mourned the dead that we'd left behind and we was carrying the lame I killed a boy the other night who'd never even shaved I don't even know what I'm fightin' for I ain't never owned a slave So I snuck out of camp and then I heard the news next night The Yankees won the battle and McCulloch lost his life *** Artist/Band: Earle Steve Lyrics for Song: Mercenary Song Lyrics for Album: Train a Comin' Me and Bill there we both come from Georgia Met Hank out in New Mexico We're bound for Duranqo to join Pancho Villa We hear that he's payin' in gold I guess a man's got to do what he's best at Ain't found nothin' better so far Been called mercenaries and men with no country Just soldiers in search of a war CHORUS And we're bound for the border We're soldiers of fortune And we'll fight for no country but we'll die for good pay Under the flag of of the greenback dollar Or the peso down Mexico way When this war is over might go back to Georgia And settle down quiet some where I'll most likely pack up and head south for Chile Heard tell there's some trouble down there |

Nobody mentioned Don't tread on me
Libery or death, what we so proudly hail Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail Never begins it, never, but once engaged... Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage Don't tread on me So be it threaten no more to secure peace is to prepere for war So be it settle the score touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore... Don't tread on me Love it or leave it, she with the deadly bite Quick is the blue tongue, forked as the lightning strike Shining with brightness, always on surveillance The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance Don't tread on me So be it threaten no more to secure peace is to prepare for war So be it settle the score touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore... Don't tread on me So be it threaten no more To secure peace is to prepare for war Liberity or death, what we so proudly hail Once you provoke her, rattling on her tail So be it threaten no more to secure peace is to prepare for war so be it settle the score touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore... Don't tread on me |
