lyrics

On your knees to hail the new pharaohs
As false an idol as any we've ever known
The bloodied shepards, breeders of the slaughtered lamb
Befouled flesh, picked clean by the devil's hand

Cursed kingdoms rise, each brick a lie, the latest anti-saviour
Purpose expired, betrayed by desire, men stampede to their grave.

Born to a death toll
The burial is endless
Born to this death march
Straight to an unmarked hole

Pollute your flesh to wear their sordid marks
Give them all to sate your greedy hearts
Offer your brethren, offer your sons and daughters up
Offer yourself now to lick the boots that trample us

Born to a death toll
The burial is endless
Born to this death march
Straight to an unmarked hole

Bow to greet the serpent kings
They knight you with their guillotine
Forked tongues lap spilling blood
Constricted, spirits smothered dark
Smothered dark
Smothered dark

We've built our own decrepit cage
Where every day's another plague
Denying those who would protect
Upon our heart it's marked
Vile and desolate
Humanity's vanishing every day
It's not even taken, we give it away
And worst of all it's gone for what?
Another trinket for your fucking shelf?
Something to drape over your rotted self?
Ignorance bought and sold.
Their lies are endless to conceal the truth.
They've killed for centuries they'll kill us too.
The weaker flesh, the sweeter the taste.
We are the feast for hell on Judgement day.
Be the sword or be the swine.
