lyrics

Burning cedars, silence heeds the speed of dark
A savior whispers ‘save yourself’ to make your mark
A battle rage, our history's pages forevermore will be soaked in blood
Iron fist eroding, as the river runs red
See the carnal malefactor with a severed hand
Hypocritic politic, trigger-happy chauvinist, sold not by the thought


Soldiers stand and march
Fall in two by two
Howling dogs of war run in after you
Will you stand in line?
Don’t say you’re all right.


Cemetery ghostess, hung so high.
Like a picturesque silhouette swinging in the breeze under blood red skies
The devil with a grin has the puppets on a string
Laughing like a man insane, with a cigarette smile
So smile….
Crucified disciple of a godless race
The rich man draws the blood out from the poor mans veins
Depth defying ruins, in the ashes
I sol tace


If you wait, they'll come - come to take away what's theirs.
Once a thought, out of reach, crawled up my leg,
With a knife ‘tween it's teeth.
Turn around; hear the sound of your last breath.


Pretty painted pictures, weeping from my wall.
Tripping up falling backwards over moving floors.
A three faced demon in a frozen core.
I'm the traitors in the ice and a Trojan horse.
