The Funeral Pyre - The Nature Of Betrayal lyrics



Tracks



01. 200 Years

For the events of war bring the tragic losses of lives
The prideful acts of murder among men
Let this be the death of our era

From this bowels of humanity
Does murder prove right?
From this bowels of humanity
Does murder prove right?

Below the skies, that are lit at night
Hail the gun of the warmachine

200 years of destroying life
What does that mean?
200 years of tyranny
What does that mean?
A fraud of a country

Weak in respect, we thrive on neglect
For those who surround us
The third world means nothing

This is the cost of murder

Poverty and disease
Quarantined to never plague the white lives

From this bowels of humanity
Does murder prove right?
From this bowels of humanity
Does murder prove right?

Below the skies, that are lit at night
Hail the gun of the warmachine

02. In The Wake

Let these be the words
To sound from your feeble mind
Venomous hate forms the agony
I have placed upon your heart

A tyrant falls
Not at least
Death has overcome
My eyes are able to see

No more will lives be plagued
Clad in your scornful shadow
I watch from afar
To sever the bonds between humanity

In the wake of destruction

Under the moon, the crescent light
A tyrant's demise is brought forth
I have banished all the lies
We will not fall

Let these be the words
To sound from your feeble mind
Venomous hate forms the agony
I have placed upon your heart

A tyrant falls
Not at least
Death has overcome
My eyes are able to see

03. Here The Sun Never Shines

Degradation of the sacred
The almighty has ruined the earth
There is none so vile as the one who provokes war
Endless agony that violates our human rights

Unable to see through the fog and smoke

We walk blindly through the halls
Which lead to nowhere

Here the sun never shines
But is covered by the ignorance of man

There is none so vile as the one who provokes war
Endless agony that violates our human rights

Unable to see through the fog and smoke

Cloaked and drenched
In the unforgiving substance of apathy
The future of tomorrow is bleak

With the self righteous
Commanding the tyrannical armies
Soldiers trained not to think or breathe

04. The Nature Of Betrayal

Eyes upon the beautiful
There is no salvation

Into the depths
Of abysmal torment
Let me stop this spreading disease

The betrayal runs deep
Into the veins of man
To cast down and degrade
We have been betrayed

Tear down their heavens
Set ablaze their sorrows

Denounce the name
That was given
The plague will be killed tomorrow

The betrayal runs deep
Into the veins of man
To cast down and degrade
We have been betrayed

Enslave the angels
Conquer the divine

05. Plague That Leads To Extinction

Plague the thoughts of men
Take away their dignity and self pride

You died for me? My slate is clean
Not due to a false ideal
I call out your lies to the public eye

Behold the future,
One that will lead to casualties

He holds all men equal? Yet you claim to be god
The war of ages is never ending

It boils that blood that fills my veins
Stirring nothing but hatred for the world
It fills my veins
Stirring nothing but hatred for the world

You bring many people peace on your crutch
Remove it, they can stand without your touch

Sincere are the actions in men
Initiated simply by the thought of mankind

It boils that blood that fills my veins
Stirring nothing but hatred for the world
It fills my veins
Stirring nothing but hatred for the world

A world without your presence
A world better than the present
You have awakened the giant from it's sleep

06. Victims

No more will I fall victim
To unwanted emotions

A heart so cold, a color of black
Not a shadow lighter, for weakness
Will rise to the surface
Why is a body plagued with this?

Enough pain to crumble the human mind
This time the tables have turned

For a soul that is so filled with hate
Will endure, will endure

Give me the will of a martyr
To prove a lesson learned

Help me remove this
From my stream of blood
Help me remove this
From my stream of blood

A pain that yields fear
Do I fear what lies ahead?
Neglect that feeling of weakness

There is no option

No more will I fall victim
To unwanted emotions

An open mind brings me to rest
Nothing less

07. Stealing The Air Of Life

With these lungs I inhale the air
It slowly escapes through my throat

Into the polluted sky
The air that gives life is gone

Removed from this earth
Each breath brings you closer
To what is the end
But the sky darkens

My lungs start collapsing
The air that gives life is taken away

How has the earth become this way?

Out of my esophagus, it has escaped
My breath is no longer
My lungs are empty

Waiting for a pure intake
There will be none

Into the polluted sky
The air that gives life is gone
Removed from this earth
Each breath brings you closer

I am here waiting for a source to live

How has the earth become this way?

We're stealing the air of life

08. Ending The Eternal Reign

What has become of us?

Must we follow?
Must we beg for mercy?

Breaking from this shell of silence and solitude
Standing against the lies
We are ending the eternal reign

Tearing down the hierarchy
Given strength to the weak willed

Force fed, never again
Belonging to ourselves
No one else
Force fed, never again
Belonging to ourselves
No one else

We are ending the eternal reign

Breaking from this shell of silence and solitude
Standing against the lies
We are ending the eternal reign

Save yourself

Silence has been shattered
Salvage the pieces of who we are

Silence has been shattered
