lyrics

A sacred carcass to praise the keeper
I’m the one to feed the everlasting flame once more
To quench its ache for blood
Consume the shroud and keep the floodgates open for the soil

For the soil

See my warm heart, grabbed from the rib cage
Raised high on display above the joyful crowds
Disrobed and painted blue
I´m the last of my own kin to feel the breath of life

After the stairs, the heat, the stench, the piles of skulls
Death is its sole relief
Delirious faces, earning our wages, whirling around
To diminish the wrath of the gods
We nourish the land and the sea with blood

Aimless in this wheel of chaos
Failed schemes and broken dreams
That were forced down by the unseen hand
What's left is the bitter admission of fate

Take me
Link me to the sun

I’m leaving for the edge of tomorrow
To rise again!

There’s nothing
All our oaths are broken
And I will not be the dawn

Heartless, left on the slab
Appeased are the vacuous gods
And the mountains of skulls will grow on

Aimless in this wheel of chaos
Failed schemes and broken dreams
That were forced down by the unseen hand
What's left is the bitter admission of fate
