Enslaved by a dying god
We'll reap our children’s blood
I choke on deliberate inaction
I choke on the species we have become
The reckoning is coming in
Sickened by your word we will put you down
We are the last to stand
To fight until the end
Fight for our right to breathe
Fight for a life in this
World of beauty demonized
Fight, fight, fight!
Come forth a new day of insurrection
Upon the grave of our disconnection
Enslaved by a dying god
We reap our children’s blood
We sow the seeds of death
Enslaved by a dying god
I choke in deliberate inaction
I choke on the people you have become
The sickening is rushing in
With our heads up high we will put you down
Enslaved by a dying god
We choke on our children’s blood
Enslaved by a dying god

Gates of Despair

Through the gates of despair i walk
On to shores beyond my fate
Where i am one with al my hate
And leave this world a better place
The whole world is closing in on me
its getting harder and harder to breathe
the tears become the fire in my voice
i cant help feeling that i have no choice
im braking out of the illusion
i have to be a part in this
at the gates of despair
i stand to meet my fate
Tie the rope around your neck
spit into the mirror
bathe in tar and feathers bright
walk beyond the blight
I rid myself of doubt
I'll never be a part in this
to the gates of despair
i walk to meet my fate
to the gates of despair
i battle with my hate
at the gates of despair
i stand to meet my fate
at the gates of despair
i unleash my hate
through the gates of despair
on to shores beyond my fate
through the gates of despair
i am one with my hate

Atrocities
03:34
|
|||
|
Silcenced like the little ones
We desecrate your holy vows
Abuse of power sexual assault
Funded by the holy church
Carrying the morning wood
Chambers cold I’m in the mood
Patriarchy paves the way
Whitewashing our sins away
Agony in the garden
Jesus christ you burden
Atrocities concealed by moss
I dangle from the cross
I fall in total rage
In my eyes burns the madness
As I wield ancient blades
I rip your chest apart
Eat your still pumping heart
For it will let me gain
The strengh of a demigod
Sacred sacrifice
Blood spills on my face
No blood for your god
Sacred sacrifice
Blood spills on my face
My knife in your god

1400 Lives
04:34
|
|||
|
Vessel of death going to the sea
Spreading nets of misery
Pulling out a boiling mass
Of suffocating animals
Brute slaughter
Blood water
And what can not be sold
Is thrown in the ocean cold
1400 lives
Tell me
Why are you afraid to see
That their suffering is real
Cover of tradition
Murder is the mission
Celebrating slaughter
Witness son and daughter
Cowardice
Gas engines
Bloodwater in the sand
Bring the madness to an end
Wreaking havoc under the surface
There are no cries to be heard
Why are you afraid the feel
That their suffering is real
Why are you afraid to see
They're worth as much
As you and me
This is for the dolphins and the sharks
For the animals that live
Underneath the surface
In a world that is older than ours
For the turtles and the tiny fish too
Why are you afraid to feel
That their suffering is real
Alive and free
Alive and free to be
Alive and free to be and feel

Froze or Sinned
04:55

Rip away the rotten cover, asleep, deceived by golden lies
Naked now as god created, take my hand and don’t be shy
I am the one you never trusted, fallen, cursed but never lost
Know that I am not your saviour, neither what you fear the most
I am the voice you used to hear, now overnoised by biblic fear
Your path with me disguised by light, the shadows are where we are near
You and me, your other self, I have my place inside your soul
Abandon me but be aware, you’ll never feel completely whole
Balance is what’s taught today but you don’t want to feel this way
I guide you through the darkest times, so not, like sheep, you go astray
Quests that even burn within, form art, a memory on skin
What is bliss and endless summer, when you never froze or sinned
My Challenges will frighten you, empower and excite you
You will learn to ride the wave, and I will ride beside you
Go ahead, beat the drum, question where you're coming from
Stand and face impending doom, which crumbles for what we'll become
They call me evil, fallen angel, feeding from your pain
But I am truth, the other half, and always to retain
So don’t give in, the only thing, I want you to remember
Is your own will, the pain, the thrill, and never to surrender

Severed Roots

Severing the naval
For a life of separation
Forced reconciliation
Blinded by a savior
Let me out
Of this nightmare that I find myself in
Every day when I wake up
I feel the pressure grinding on me
Down
To see the plastic fleet
To how we stoke the heat
The way we choke all life
For we bring our own demise
Let me out
Of this nightmare that I find myself in
Every day when I wake up
I feel the pressure grinding on me
Down
Bring about a sweet remedy
That makes me see how
We are heading for the bitter end
If we don’t change now
Take the knife
Force it inside
Wake and see
The end of our misery
Respect all life forms
I’ve taken in the pain
There’s nothing that remains
I look into your eyes
See the innocence of your life
Crawling under my skin
Of this nightmare that I find myself in
Every day when I wake up
I feel the pressure grinding me down
Bring about a sweet remedy
That makes me see how
We are heading for the bitter end
If we don’t change now

Lighttaker

In your shadow cold I stand
Frost covers your spine
While some are shifting to the tides
Your name is ever ringing free
Place of worship shrine of old
A gift of gods lo’ and behold
Your peaks shadow on the waves
Mirror of your ancient days
A blade is cutting through the sky
Sheltered in darkness abiding time
You take all light at last
And I remember my pagan past
