lyrics

THIS HECATOMB

Under the pale red sun
My scars forever burn
My hands in blood and sweat
The seed of hate and death is sown in...

Silence!
Just like the others
You will bow
Before the elders

Starve
Dehydrate
This hecatomb
I'll escape
A call of prayer heard in...

Silence!
Among the others
You will lie
To praise the elders
For thousand years

Called by prayer
To be slain
Sacred knife
Pierces my heart

When you close your eyes and dream, you see a world without slavery
Going down this road again you're calling back your misery

Save me from this vile life

I have to die again, can't break these chains
From death I'll rise again to serve their will

Silence!
Just like the others
You will die
To serve the elders
And rise again

My soul is cursed
The cycle never ends
Millenniums pass
I can't escape

When you close your eyes and dream, you see a world without slavery
Going down this road again you're calling back your misery
When you open up your eyes you see that even death can't set you free
The chains are holding you again, a slave for all eternity
