To scorch the whole world to ashes
And forge it anew from the chaos and flame
To take it all down in a blaze of hate
And tear through the drape that cradles mankind
To be swallowed by the depths of the chasm
And embrace the shadows and light within
To bring forth an era of reason
With meaningless cries this world swept away
The laws of man, they mean nothing:
As illusions of grandeur to irrational minds,
Are testaments to a deep weakness inside
And masses converge in prayer upon altars of cowardice, self flattery and death
As golden chalices overflow with the blood of the millions of victims of the gospels
Withering gods wreathed in riches and gore adorn halls considered divine
Blinded, teeming, breeding, screaming man devours himself alive
And monuments are levelled & toppled back to dust by the pious
In naïve desperation they cry for salvation from 'rapture'
And masses converge in prayer upon altars of cowardice, self flattery and death
As golden chalices overflow with the blood of the millions of victims of the gospels
Withering gods wreathed in riches and gore adorn halls considered divine
Blinded, teeming, breeding, screaming man devours himself alive
The scourge of a world ablaze
And with fires subsided, the night creeps in...
To give way to the dawn of the warriors path.
And forge it anew from the chaos and flame
