Samsara (1997)
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 serve 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
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 serve a different master
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
In heaven as it is down here
(For there is nothing I detest more than the stench of lies)
Lies in your head, lies in your head
Will you ever dare to take a breath?
(For there is nothing I detest more than the stench of lies)
Lies in your head, lies in your head
Will you ever dare to take back your freedom?
(For there is nothing I detest more than the stench of lies)
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
