Lyrics
South of Heaven
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
An unforeseen future nestled somewhere in time,
Unsuspecting victims, no warnings, no signs,
Judgment day, the second coming arrives
Before you see the light, you must die
Forgotten children conform a new faith,
Avidity and lust controlled by hate,
Never ending search for your shattered sanity,
Souls of Damnation in their own reality
Chaos rampant,
An age of distrust,
Confrontations,
Impulsive habitat,
Bastard sons beget your cunting daughters,
Promiscuous mothers with your incestuous fathers,
Engreat souls condemned for eternity,
Sustained by immoral observance, a domineering deity
Chaos rampant,
An age of distrust,
Confrontations,
Impulsive sabbath,
On and on, south of heaven
On and on, south of heaven
On and on, south of heaven
On and on, south of heaven
The root of all evil is the heart of a black soul,
A force that has lived all eternity,
A never ending search for a truth never told,
The loss of all hope and your dignity,
Chaos rampant,
An age of distrust,
Confrontations,
Impulsive habitat
On and on, south of heaven
On and on, south of heaven
On and on, south of heaven
On and on, south of heaven
