Every Man for Himself and God Against Them All
Sacrificed yourself to the gods did you?
I'll cut out your mother tongue, sow salt in the fields of the fatherland. I'll bite a mouth full of freedom.
The wages of sin are freedom, and though the wages of freedom may be death
Is it not better to live with uncertainty than to fear to draw an honest breath?
So scrape the veil of faith from your eyes
Your prayers ascend like black smoke to the empty skies
Under your carnivorous god of deceit, maybe just maybe do you feel incomplete?
A wheel of knives is spinning in me, here always up to our eyes in disease
Crawling through our darkest hours, slow funeral march to the end
We've been led astray once again
But I will server a different master _______, thy kingdom come, thy will be done
In heaven as it is
Down here
Under the burnt out skull of a sky that once shined
The snuffed out stars aren't missed by the blind
And all of man will burn in your heaven, eternal wretched life divine
But it's a minute to midnight in my mind, strike now or hold your peace for all time
A wheel of knives is spinning in me
(For there is nothing I hate more than the stench of lies)
Lies in your head, lies in your head, will you ever dare to take a breath
Will you ever dare to take back your freedom?
Crawling through our darkest hours, slow funeral march to the end
We've been led astray once again
But I will serve no gods or masters-my kingdom come, my will be done
In heaven
As it is
Down here.
