System of a Down - War That No One Won [Details in Description]

New FINAL Downloads for VICTIMZE (1/7/2020)

War That No One Won is the fifth track on the 2019 mashup/remix album Victimize.

This is a mashup/remix of the Scars on Broadway song Dictator with the Euringer (featuring Serj Tankian) song If It Ain't You Today It Will Be You Tomorrow. This was another song that was hard to pin down an arrangement for. I knew I wanted the Dictator hook and Serj's backing vocals coming from a couple sources - his reading of the poem War That No One Won and his live performance of the same piece titled Improvisational Noize on the Axis of Justice release. I tried a few different songs for the verses (Butterfly was the most promising) but then Jimmy Urine's solo album came out and I fell in love with the track Serj was featured on and felt like I had to use it.

Lyrics:

ride till you die
stripping under the sky
ha ha ha
the whole world burning
anticipation
ambition
blind consent
god's my friend

war is coming
soldiers marching
god is falling
(war that no one won)

war is coming
soldiers marching
god is dying
(war that no one won)

silver smiles
the silk weaver
spare me the night
red and white
till i die
imposed illusions
poisoning poseidon
white laced fuck doll

war is coming
soldiers marching
god is falling
(war that no one won)

war is coming
soldiers marching
god is dying
(war that no one won)

your politics will never correct me
your politics will never corrupt me

everything we knew was a luxury
