Blood Mantra

Through centuries

Leading their wars

Armed with crucifixes

Hardened with dogmas

Ravaging

Cursing

And murdering every proteus

I heard faith is a weapon

To protect or kill?

If you want me

Find me a faith

Not raised from ruins

Find me a God

With non dirty hands

And I will be your

I will be your

Assassin

Eternal struggle

Exchange of souls

Seven billions of souls

And there is no free trade

If God is aware

Who is the businessman?

Innocent merchant

With familiar face

Is kindly trying

To strike a bargain

Priceless

Currency

Salvation for sale

A unique offer?!

Who likes fairy tales?

Instinct calls for destruction

Prayers will muffle their screams

Good lord will drink this blood

Every divinity demands sacrifice

Every sacrifice needs

Divine purposes

This is blood mantra

A universal rite

Rite!

Divided by symbols

Possessed by laws

Throats cut for power

Rebels choked on their blood

Temples carved in red stone

Altars from looted gold

Sanctification by slaughter

Absolution by doom

Saviours impaled on their thrones

The reaper's dancing around

Vicious circle rolls on

I see the cultures

Fed by the same earth breast

I see the races

Watered by the same earth veins

I see all the chosen nations

Sharing the same breath as me

I saw civilisations burnt

Their blood soaked into this earth

I saw gods raised from their ashes

Under different names

I saw devouring hate

Driven by fear of otherness
