The Sleep Of Reason Brings Forth Monsters Lyrics by BATS (IRL)

The Sleep of Reason

2012

Grabbing a child at an age when the brain is helpless at best
It is the time when the seed is sown
And the poison grows
Dulling the mind, stunting the child
Crushing the man, burning the witch
On your knees, or you'll burn in the furnace
Cull your thoughts, or you'll burn in the furnace
Be afraid, or you'll burn in the furnace
Be a slave, or you'll burn in the furnace
On your knees, or you'll burn in the furnace
Cull your thoughts, or you'll burn in the furnace
Be afraid, or you'll burn in the furnace
Be a slave, or you'll burn in the furnace
Rape his wife, I can tell you want to
Kill his child, I can tell you want to
Do not think all you need is the mandate
Written down in the dirt, in the dark by fools
Don't you know, you're a beast no better
Don't you know, you're a beast no better
Don't you know, you're a beast no better
El sueño de la razón produce monstruos
El sueño de la razón produce monstruos
Beware, beware he who says he knows
Beware, beware he who says he knows
Blood and bones, oh the useless torture
Blood and bones, oh the senseless etchings
Catacombs and the reeking altars
Present day and the mist still lingers
Present day and the reaching fingers
Many say you're a beast no better
Many say you're a beast no better
On your knees, or you'll burn in the furnace
On your knees, or you'll burn in the furnace
Having faith is a servile weakness
Fanning flames in the demon-haunted world
Cowardice is a feeble refuge
Cowardice is a feeble refuge
Cowardice is a feeble refuge
El sueño de la razón produce monstruos
El sueño de la razón produce monstruos
Beware, beware he who says he knows
Beware, beware he who says he knows
It's a fight, it's a struggle
Find the berries, outrun the wolves
Kill the weakest, kill the youngest
Hide from vision, catch the agile
Pluck the fruit, drink the blood
Bury deep, tap the vitals
Use deception, practice stealth
Master climbing, ride the wind
Swim the rivers, dive the oceans
Eat the weakest, eat the youngest
Scratch a living, scratch a living
Scratch a living, scratch a living
Run from dying
It's a fight, it's a struggle
Find the berries, outrun the wolves
Kill the weakest, kill the youngest
Hide from vision, catch the agile
Pluck the fruit, drink the blood
Bury deep, tap the vitals
Use deception, practice stealth
Master climbing, ride the wind
Swim the rivers, dive the oceans
Eat the weakest, eat the youngest
Scratch a living, scratch a living
Scratch a living, run from dying
Scratch a living, scratch a living
Scratch a living, run from dying
Scratch a living, scratch a living
Scratch a living, run from dying
