The Age of Decadence Lyrics by Gallows Hymn

The Age of Decadence

2020

The gods are on the side of the stronger, history, written by the victors
Those who created peace, do so stained in blood
It is only human nature, to hate, those you've injured
And once the killing starts, it's hard to draw a line
Because of their ignorance, they called it, a civilization
Ensnared under slavery, servitude, their submission
To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp, and call it an empire, we created a desеrt, and called it peace
To rob, to rapе, to plunder and call it an empire, we created a wasteland, and called it peace
What started off as a cause for the righteous, by the holy and pious, who claimed to be just
Is now reduced to violence, in the herd no ideas are allowed to stand above
This immoral, sinful place, sanctimonious faith, lures you in
And their hate filled dogma, calls all free thought sin
Individual thought and skepticism, is suppressed, for the sake of all
Burn the texts, burn the knowledge, burn the art; this city in fire will fall
The lies, despair, and fear, leads to superstition
You created an age of decadence, and called it right
Guilt, hate, self-righteous condemnation, you created an age of darkness, under shadow of night!
