At the point where life starts costing too much
Far beyond the borders of its bliss
A spirit approached my forever lost,
Locked in a dying body soul, and instructed it:
Bring me the weak
Feed me their hearts
Bring me yourself
Armed, on your knees
No morals, no meaning — those were lost
In the sea of lies and empty words
Selling poison as justice for the ill
In the name of the future that couldn’t be real
Death was fare, we’ve survived
With numbers and hate, truth on our side
Since then Spirit’s wisdom was wide and well-known
When punching up, one can never be wrong
—
Our children were taught
Well enough
To be strong in the face
Of the former gods
How to hold the ground
And swing the sword of our truth
Sacrifice all
For the higher cause
—
Why you keep to yourself
Secrets that could mend your broken world
For better or for worse
But to hell is the only road you want to know
The shit you come up with to save your hide
Every day brings out the absolute worst in me
—
The next thing was hunger, then rivers turned red
Things I’ve done for this blooded throne of regrets
Don’t even know how, but I asked Spirit one more time
How to stop the pain, it said:
Show me hell
Right now, here, on this Earth
Rip out shame from your chest
Feed it to the flame
Looking back at the bodycount
When was the starting point of the dive?
Out of sight, out of mind, my father said
In the name of the Spirit — all is just
On the landscape of power
How could not we be right?
The oppressed and offended army of justice
Serving all the humankind
—
Why you keep to yourself
Secrets that could mend your broken world
For better or for worse
But to hell is the only road you want to know
The shit you come up with to save your pride
Every day brings out the absolute worst in me
