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.
